CC never tell you not to.
Yup plan to, however, the seats may be full by that time, or only middle available. It just seems to me that when airlines offer low fares, then jack the cost on seat selection because they sit you and the misses apart, then you pay to get back together, is not a fare practice and amounts to no more than extortion. This is why government has to step in and regulate. Nobody wants this but airlines don't police themselves!
