BIB - They do it on purpose though, they give you the worst seats (usually middle) and sit you apart so you'll pay. I don't mind if its a short flight like Ireland to England or even if I get a seat that's either aisle or window but the thoughts of sitting in the middle of two strangers for over 2 hours horrifies me. I don't even mind not sitting with people I'm travelling with if I have a good book. It's an awful thing to do to parents with very young kids though
