Seat booking is hard. If a parent chooses the option of unattended seating, that’s just the reality of limited resources.

The OP is acting like parents and kids are the only people who will ever want to sit together.

What happens when OP’s kid is sitting next to another family? You gonna pull off your swap then?

Airlines suck don’t get me wrong. This is someone blaming an airline for bad parenting and/or poor planning ahead.

Seat booking isn't hard. It's a solved problem, for decades.

To get more money from passengers.

Two seats are free on a plane, but each is in a row of three, and each of those rows already has a couple. Book 2 seats side by side.

There you go, algorithm geniuses
