Paying for Kids

  Omg I read the strangest, strangest thing this morning. A couple bought three plane tickets from Vancouver to Toronto on Air Canada. Two adults and a two year old. Now a two year old must have a seat and it's a full price ticket. 

   Here is the best part....parents you will appreciate this......there is no guarantee that your child will sit with you. In the same cabin yes but not beside you or even in the same row! Wouldn't that be awesome???!!! 

  Their only guarantee to sit with their child was to pay $40! Times three. An extra $120 so they can sit with their precious off spring. That's funny. Seriously I would never pay.

  Picture it...you get on your flight and sitting beside you is a four year old. Alone. No parent in sight. Would you stop the flight attendant and say "what the hell???"  Of course you would. 

  I am assuming, and I think it's a safe assumption, that every single flight attendant will move people around til the family sits together. They have done it for us on several occasions. Or we've been in an emergency exit row with the kids. You must be 16 to sit in that row.

  It sounds like another cash grab. Like paying for luggage...except if you take it to the gate where they will force you to check it. Most of the time for free. Which I must say irritates the hell out of me. But that's another discussion for another day.

  Next time you want to go on vacation, better plan on paying extra if you want your little angels sitting with you. If they are good travelers.....pay the fee. If they aren't.....well.

  Who am I to judge?
