Virgin shifting me out of my seat.

I really wouldn't worry but if I was in your situation and he HAD to move, I'd give him my seat with DH and DD and I'd move.

Can you log into the booking and move to a 4 across the middle ? We like windows, but we prefer not sitting next to randomers more than looking out of the window.

We have a middle row selected for 1 month today

My husband and I have never paid to sit together and on one leg of our honeymoon flights we were actually sat apart... We are still alive and still married... The world didn't crumble.

I would never voluntarily move for a couple to be together "just because", unless I was being upgraded of course!

You don’t need “to get” it. Everyone is different and really there’s no right or wrong way.

Personally I find the word “obsession” is too strong for this issue but everyone’s perception of situations is different.

Course there's no right or wrong...I am surprised by the number of defensive responses to this comment. I ignored it on the grounds that it contradicted itself. On the one hand she is suggesting you should be accepting of any seat, but on the other you should stubbornly stick to one seat rather than moving and helping someone. Which bit do I listen to ?

We need economy delight as only my 7 year old is below 6'. I think the middle seats are just classic unfortunately. Thank you anyway. I have the aisle seat anyway as I actually hate looking out of the window so I would be more than happy away from the window if I still had extra legroom!

As much as you don't need your opinions validating...that makes perfect sense. The middle are only standard seats which leaves you with a compromise whichever way you do it. As the only one above 6 foot in my family, I prefer to suck up the legroom over sitting next to strangers. We used to book the ELR seats (when they were called that) so I could get comfy enough to sleep on the way home. Now having a second Daughter, we go to the middle. My youngest is only 3 so I stick my legs into her space

Not on a florida flight and wasn't me but a friend travelling to japan with 2 young children was allocated seats all over the plane. one of the children was very young and they asked a man (on his own) to swap seats (no real difference in the seats so no reason not too other than the inconvenience of moving after he had sat down) but he refused. Unfortunately for him the young child was subsequently sick all over him, a short distance into a very long flight. All that said, if you have paid for a seat and its a good one it really would take me quite a bit of persuading to move unless there was an obvious reason for it - such as in my friends case. a flight to florida is a v long one and when you have paid for something, you really should get it in my view.
