But isn't the opposed true? Don't assume about the "woman with $10 WDW bags" or the family asking to sit together. Don't assume they haven't done the leg work. That assumption is going on all over this thread.
Not in my case - as I mentioned upthread ~
The family was already in the gate area when we arrived! Mom, dad and two boys, clearly young enough for family boarding, I would guess about 4 and 5ish.
Gate agent made several announcements that there are already 40+ continuing passengers on board so he is extending family boarding to 9 and under. He asks that parents please take advantage of this as it will be dfficlut to get seats together if you don't board at that time and they don't want to do the last minute seat shuffle!! .
Yet this family is the last to board and yes passengers did have to move to accomodate them.
Those of us who travel often realize that stuff happens, that's why I like to research, find out my options and try and deal with facts instead of what I would like to happen. Sometimes it does cost a bit more to meet my needs but that's my responsibility.
I don't assume that a person boarding late is a "slacker" and if I can move I will. I ask the same - if I can't move for you please give the the same consideration.
