We are a family of 5. Children are 7, 5 & 2. We do not travel often at all. I thought there were some airlines out there that still allow you to choose your seats at no additional cost. I'm pretty frustrated to see that this is not the case anymore. It is basically going to cost us an additional $300-$400 to ensure that we are all together. That's a crime. While I am tempted to roll the dice and not pay to choose our seats, I can't take the chance of having them split up our party. I wouldn't even feel comfortable having my 7-year-old not sitting next to me or my wife. Just needed to vent. Bogus.
