Would you move seats to allow families sit together on flights?

That didn't happen. Certainly in that fashion anyway. It's just cheap publicity.

Vogue to be Irelands replacement for our national icon , Twink.

I moved once from an aisle seat to the middle to accommodate a young lady who "doesn't travel well" and might need the toilet to puke into. I obliged.

Realised after her friend had an aisle seat (and didn't swap with her) not once did she get up to use the bathroom on that 3 hour flight.

I'd be slow to do it again tbh. But if a family with young kids, probably would tbh. Can't blame anyone who wouldn't though.

If I've paid for my seat, no way am I moving

Rich people so used to having their way, an objection leads to a childish tantrum.

How dare this pleb not bend over and obey.

I live in the States, and travel back to Ireland 1-2 times a year. Its an overnight flight so I usually book a window seat to give me a better chance of getting some sleep. I got on the plane one Christmas (having booked 7 months before), and there was a toddler in my seat beside his Dad. His wife, with another baby, were on an aisle seat opposite.

After making a fuss of moving the child and apologising when it was clear I wanted to sit down in my paid seat (toys, food, the whole lot everywhere), the guy started some fairly weak efforts at trying to manipulate me to move. But hey, it was Christmas, so I offered to move to his wife's aisle seat so the four of them could sit together in the 2 seats.

Not possible from a safety perspective according to the very p!ssed off air hostess, so she said she'd try and find an alternative down the plane. Came back and said that she had three seats together at the back of the plane. The guys eyes lit up until she gestured to me to come down and take 3 seats to myself, leaving them sitting apart where they were. She was muttering something about the 'cheek of some people,' while apologising to me for having to put up with their nonsense

Was flying to San Francisco and had an extra legroom seat behind a bulkhead type seat.

Airhostess asked me would I move to let a couple sit together. One was beside me. The other was in the section ahead. She said the seats were the same. I said no problem.

When I got up to move, I realised the seat I was moving to was at the back of a section beside a toilet. So I came back and said to the person, sorry, I dont want to sit for hours beside the toilet.

It would depend on the circumstances and if they asked nicely. I always like an aisle on a flight so I can nip to the loo.

I did get upgraded to business class on a flight randomly due to a woman giving out so much about not sitting together with her other half (she was truly horrible to the woman at the desk. The woman at the desk then called me and my other half over and asked if we had two seats together (we did), would we mind giving them to this lady and her other half....and she would move us to business class....the woman's face...lol.

It was a flight from Ethiopia to Cape town so not a small hop either. Would recommend Ethiopian airlines business class anyway!

That is what annoyed me. Telling me the seats were the same quality when they clearly were not. I don't think they were impressed seeing me reappear with all my bits and bobs but no way was I sitting there.

I said to the person beside me, maybe the person beside your partner will swop with you and sit in your seat here. Nothing further said.

Absolutely no to offering up my seat I paid to sit in - too many take their chance and they try to get others to accommodate them because they're cheapskates

You can buy a litter of orange juice and a large pack of dry roasted peanuts in German supermarkets for a total of 3 euros. Double the cost of a Ryanair flight, but still.

I've been asked to move on occasion, and I've moved.

I haven't been asked to move on occasion, and I've offered to move off my own bat when I noticed a family split up.

I've gone to the trouble of making sure my family are all booked in seats together on pretty much all occasions.

There was one time it wasn't possible for some reason. We got on board, expecting to be somewhat dispersed, but the staff asked other people to move, as our kids were under whatever age, and it was a legal or safety requirement that they be supervised with their parent or guardian next to them. We felt a bit bad, as it wasn't our request. The people who were asked gladly obliged, and we thanked them. I'm not sure what would have happened if they didn't, I assume they would have just kept asking people until they came to someone who would oblige.

Perversely - because he clearly isn't any better than her - I do feel a bit sorry for Spenny...

No.

You would move IF it benefited or suited you. Like moving from window to aisle should that be your preference.

But that's a commentary about life, a lot of things we do, even if officially seen as being alright turns out in truth that the act benefited us.

Offered to give up my ailse seat on a long haul from Singapore as elderly couple were a bit upset about not seating together. Ended up in middle seat between two jumbo americans who swallowed up the arm rests and both slept most of the way. Only got up once and ended up in hospital with DVT following day. Thankfully no serious issues and all work related long haul went business class after that.

Shes a stupid entitled b!tch.

Coming back from lanzarote one year booked 3 together & window behind them as it's where I like to sit, mardy looking couple rolling their eyes when they saw my kids. They got moved to the front seats before take off, could feel the glee beaming from them, dont see why with ppl queing for the toilet & air staff doing their business. I was grand with that as the 4 of us now had 6 seats between us, was a very comfortable flight. After landing the couples faces changed again realising their cabin bags were halfway back down the plane & had to wait for everyone else to disembark. Gave them a lovely smile on the way past, they were not happy campers.

Careful what ye wish for!

All depends on the situation.

Decent skins that I could help out by making their journey a little easier? Probably.

Entitled pricks? Probably not.

Length of the flight would play into it too.
