Paying to sit together

Hi,

I've just booked a holiday and will be flying with First Choice Airways. me and my girlfriend were told by the travel agent that if we wanted to ensure that we were sitting together we would have to pay an extra £20! Is this the norm? I've never heard of it before as I thought that if you booked together you sat together.

We ended up paying the money as my girlfriend is a nervous flyer but I can't help feeling we were fleeced!

The same goes for taking my own skis with me on a flight. Is it true that the money actually goes to the tour operator and not the airline who do not charge for ski carriage???

Thanks,

Sywell-Flyer
