Rat 5. I think you miss my point. I am not paying extra for my seat I am paying to ensure my family are sat together. In years gone by when seats were allocated at check in those at the back got what was left often split up. This resulted in hassle for everyone and many pax seat changed when boarding. Prices are now low and then you then choose your add ons for your personal preference.
Aer Arran. Quite agree.
