It is wonderful that there are choices and the cartels have been broken. Excellent. My point is that for a decade the LoCo's have been making handsome huge profits as they were. They are increasing those profits with their basic model. It does not seem necessary, other than greed, to add on yet another pay for item that IMHO should be a basic custom service. There is no cost to the provider for seating pax together on a single booking. It is not a cost saving measure only an attempt to generate even more profit. My only thought is it might be one add on too far. But I guess, as MOL has said many times, if the queue is still outside the door why change anything.
We shall agree to disagree.
