I booked five tickets with Delta Air Lines for my family, including three kids aged 12, 9, and 4, on a flight from Montréal–Trudeau International Airport to Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. We paid extra in advance to choose seats so we could all sit together.
Unfortunately, our original flight was canceled and we were rebooked onto an earlier flight at 7 AM. Now our seats will only be assigned at the gate, which means there is a real chance we will not be seated together.
Because of this, we may have to ask other passengers to switch seats so our 4-year-old is not separated from us. It is not a situation we wanted or caused. We planned ahead and paid for seat selection, but things changed outside our control.
So if we end up asking people to swap seats, it is simply because we are trying to keep our young child close, not because we failed to prepare.
