Wow, the self-entitlement is strong with this one.
I do not have children but, based on previous discussions on this topic in this forum, I understand that the CAA had mandated this. I might be wrong. I don't know many parents who would willingly let their children sit next to stangers. I understand that some are not prepared to pay for the certainty and then moan about it.

However, LCCs have always stressed the cost and so, after 30 years, that's what folks look for. The question here is: Do the carriers now deliberately split families - on the same booking - in order to coerce them into paying for reservations, no matter if it is a low price?
