You're seriously going to try and switch here? You're right behind her. 

You could lick her friggin ear if you wanted too.

If you ask someone to switch in this situation,  you are the dbag.

Can’t say I agree. But yes I feel less strongly about caring in this situation. Still I almost feel like I need to ask, if only for purposes of the thread.  And maybe to give humanity one more chance to do the right thing.

I don’t ever care enough about the meal. And I also find that kind of impossible. “Let’s see, three weeks from now, for breakfast, will I be in the mood for oatmeal or eggs?”

Love ya GB, but when presented with 4-5 meals it’s usually a pretty easy shot on which is a dish I’ll generally enjoy more. 

Regardless, I was merely going off your being upset that the guy got the meal you wanted... and referring to folks who’s seat choice is based on getting the meal they want. Just wanted to say that can all be avoided by taking 60 seconds to answer an email form :shrug:  

 
Bummer. The gate agent was able to put us next to each other. I won’t need to be asking anyone.  So, we’ve got the data we’ve got.

I wasn’t really all that upset about the meal. I just found it funny that this fellow of all people was the one to take the last omelet.  Of course he was. 

 
I can’t wait to book a flight again. I’m going to hire a research team to browse travelninja and zootravel and seatfreaks and I’m going to find the optimal seat on the plane with optimal cubic inches.  It will have the best armrest on the plane, and the best viewing angle to the television, and the correct steps to the closest bathroom ratio.  I’m then going to look into the available meal selections on those flights historically on skymeals and tripgrub, investigate the chefs, and make a decision about the meal that I plan to have for lunch 8 months from now.  

And so help me god if a widow asks to switch seats to be next to her toddler. After all, I paid for this seat with my hard earned money. I selected it with the utmost care to ensure my maximum comfort. If someone else wanted this seat?  Well they had the option to book it a long time ago, it’s not my fault they’re stupid and lazy. Now please excuse me while I go research neck pillows, travel blankets, and noise canceling headphones. I mean, what else is there in life beside a  laser focus on maximizing my own personal comfort?   Murica!

Careful with this on Delta.  I don't know how other airlines do it, but Delta first class follows (most of the time) "FEBO," meaning on even-numbered flights they start the order-taking in the front, and on odd-numbered flights they start in the back.  Occasionally they deviate, but I'd say I've seen them stick with this on 90+% of my flights, so at least with them you should check your flight number when making your seat selection.

It's the same on American.

 
Is being the first row against the bulkhead really that bad? Is it same on all planes?

Oats I hope NewJersey was good to you.

Lol switching for someone to sit next to their toddler is a huge difference than switching to be next to a spouse.  Can’t believe you are so upset with others due to your poor planning.  But go ahead and blame others for being selfish.  Murica!

Do you travel with a purse or something?

No, I travel with a laptop.  And the bag that it fits in.  But thanks for the douchy response.

Edit to add:   already explained that I've never refused to switch.  No idea why you would reply to my post with attitude.   Other than, hey, you just don't like to hear a conflicting, rational viewpoint.

I see.  So you’ll have to hold the laptop on your lap?  and maybe get up and get a pen out of the overhead if some hardcopy emergency arises?

You’re pretty upset about this, guy.  My point is that the complaint about THERE’S NOWHERE TO PUT MY MAN PURSE is a pretty piss poor reason to refuse people traveling together from sitting together.  Sorry, I was trying to get us to the point here.  

 
YAH OK FINE OTIS, BUT IN THE BULKHEAD I HAVE TO LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE WALL, WHEREAS IN ROW THREE I GET TO LOOK AT THE SHINY SPOT ON THE BALDING HEAD OF THE MIDDLE AGED MAN IN FRONT OF ME.

First, as explained twice in this thread (once in a comment you quoted from), I've never refused to switch seats with anyone.  And I fly every week.  

Second, you asked why anyone doesn't like bulkhead.  I gave you a real reason.  Ask around when you are with people who travel a lot.   This is a common response.

Third, you are the one who treated me like #### - in a thread where you are complaining about a guy who acted like a d-bag.  Think about that guy.

 
As an aside, Delta is a million ####### light years ahead of American right now.  They’re proving it on every single flight I’m on.  My American flight to our destination still had those ratty old LCD screens in the ceiling three rows ahead of you.  Delta is a brand new plane with individual LED screens.  The service has also been miles better.  I’ve been feeling this way for a while after some crap American flights recently, but to have an A-B comparison on the same trip drove it home.

Bye bye American.  It’s been real.

Wow mad.  Despite how testy you are as innernetguy, at least thank you for doing the right thing IRL.  Keep fighting the good fight.

 
A mother with a toddler would never pick seats that were not next to each other

Let’s make it a little more useful.  Assume the only two seats available when the mother and toddler’s flight was booked were not next to each other.   As unrealistic or impossible a scenario as it may seem.

Or you could just take the 3.6 seconds and reserve seats next to each other next time you fly.

But yeah- grrrrrr....indignation.

So somehow this went from "Yea, I was busy and forgot to reserve our seats" to "It's just to hard, it's not my fault!!!"

It isn't like I had a huge amount of respect for this poster or anything. But man, seriously, you sound like a spoiled ten year old. It's hard for me to imagine an adult acting like this. I hope your kids are mostly raised by your wife, or the world is doomed to be populated by a couple more self-entitled little dooshes in the near future.

 
I haven’t been this definitively right about such a “controversial” topic since the pit bull thread. 

I’d be curious to see the Venn diagram showing the how many of the sociopaths who refuse reasonable seat changes are also pit bull owners.

Of course I can.  And will.  But it turns out life happens.  And the point of the thread isn’t “hey should I go online and book my flights and seats as early as possible, or not?”  See the poll.  People, for various reasons, are sometimes not seated together. And decent non Richard people accomodate reasonable requests for them to be seated together.  

 
stbugs said:
Well, I have no idea what airlines you fly and what exactly a reserved seat means to you, but damn if I or my wife/kids have ever been moved if I selected a seat assignment when I purchased. Definitely don’t think you are lying but once I have a seat assignment, I have never been moved without my request, ever. I’ve flown a lot over many years.
Click to expand...
Uh...I got it originally; It's never happened to you. Now imagine that it did.

 
Since we have a bunch of frequent flyers in here, if I were to book 3 seats on Southwest using a combo of miles and the Companion Pass, what will I need to do to make sure that at least one of my wife and I are sitting next to my daughter?

We don't fly much (I've never flown SW) and would prefer not to end up in a situation where I'm the one tromping on the plane like some hillbilly asking more prepared flyers to give up their seat for my family.

Scoreboard, girl dog. 

 
A couple things:

1. Row 1 is the worst seat in first class. The wall doesn’t allow you to stretch your legs like you can in the other seats. This is non-debatable.

2. It’s not always possible to get adjoining seats in first class. There’s not that many seats, and very often there just aren’t two seats together.

3. It’s also common to get upgraded at some point before the flight in which case you have less control over your seats.

4. And finally, if it’s a first class seat,  and you are flying solo, there’s no reason not to switch. It’s just being an real ##### if you don’t.

That’s it.

Bingo.

 
On my last flight with my wife last week, she got the 1A (the window on the left) and I got 1E, the aisle on the right. All we needed to do was have the guy sitting next to her sit on the other side of the aisle. So I ask him if he’ll switch. He gets a strange look and says, “Well, I have a phobia about that side of the plane.” 🤣

I said, “C’mon, seriously?” He begrudgingly switched.

 
Even dudes who are always angry at me, like @Alex P Keaton, agree with the premise here. The other 1/3 of you who are behaving the way you are towards others should re-evaluate imo.

Posting a picture of a random person in public is “bush league”?  The post on IMGUR didn’t even say anything negative about him.  I’m trying to contribute to the fun here.

You’re weird.

Nice to see your tradition of paying people to accomplish things you can easily handle yourself is extending to here.
