SW ? when flying with 7 &13 y.o.

You see this attitude doesn't help anything and annoys me. The person sitting next to your daughter did nothing wrong. You had options and if you choose to not exercise those options to try and save a dollar that's on you. An eight year old should be able to behave and not spill her drink on someone for a few hours. I assume she does as much while at school. If not, again that's on you as a parent. You and your child are no more important than any other person on that plane.
If I was next to your child I would have my headphones or ear plugs in and either sleep or listen to my music and read my book. So her talking wouldn't bother me. As for spilling juice on me I would ask the flight attendant to find her parent and get your address so I can send you my dry cleaning bill.

another for this post.

Do what you have to do, spend what you have to spend to have your child sit next to you. If that passenger paid for the EBCI they should not have to move bc you didnt plan or were too cheap.

I have a nervous 11 year old who needs to sit by me. I do what I have to do to make that happen, I buy the EBCI. Now if circumstances beyond our control made it so we are separated, like a late connection, then I will be grateful to the passenger that moves but woud understand if they didnt. And if DS ever needed to be alone, he would most certainly be on his best behavior!
