    No they shouldn’t go even further. A parent’s inability to plan ahead should not penalize those of us who do.

    I specifically purchase my seat because that’s where I want to sit, center aisle because I have a slight medical condition and the extra (occasional) leg room helps mitigate it.

    Check your unearned parental privileges at the door mate.

      Don’t airlines usually charge a bit extra to pick your own seat? I’d imagine/hope that there are enough people selecting the cheaper “whatever” option that they’re going to bump one of those.

        What I would not like is for a parent to pay for the upgraded seat next to me and then I get bumped to accommodate their child.

          I’d imagine this system would bump the parties to the cheapest seats of the group, since the airline would NOT want to deal with people using this to steal upgrades
