I''ve been on many a flight and countless times have watched flight attendants make accomodations for families traveling with small children, even on flights where seats are assigned. I have never been on a flight when customers weren''t willing to move seats and I''ve never seen a family split up (perhaps not both parents with the child but at least one parent seated with the child). As a passenger, there has only been one occasion when my husband and I have been seperated on a flight, and that is because we waited too long to select our seats, which was our fault, not the airlines. I''m sorry your experience has been different, but I don''t think it''s common.Date: 11/25/2009 11:17:56 AM

Not at all a child-hater (I work with them for a living and have one on the way) but absolutely believe that airlines should at least set up seating so that families w/ children are all in one area of the plane, and I would absolutely pay for an adult only flight.
airlines don''t even step up to make sure the family is all seated together so doubtfully this will ever happen but I agree.
Hmmm...really? Maybe I am unlucky. There was even a family that sat next to us yesterday that was split up so the grandmother had to care for her 17 month old grandson (lap) and her 5ish year old grandson while her DH sat in an entirely different row. When I first got our seat assignments (and we did not book at the last minute and I told them she was 2) we were all assigned in middle seats in different rows.
