[Travel] Should you give up your pre booked seat on an aircraft so families can sit together?

[Algernon]

Because I know I'll be needing extra legroom and a window seat for my flights, I reserve and pay for them as early as possible.
I know it's going to cost extra and I know that as a responsible adult I should prepare in advance to try to ensure I get my chosen seat.
There's absolutely zero chance I'm giving up my seat which I've paid through the nose for because some geezer and his burd thought they'd figured out anuver way to beat the system.

Very much depends on what seat I’d have to from/move to……I always book seats in advance, but would do it for example in economy if it was a straight swap of one aisle seat for another (my usual preference) if the people asking were doing so ‘reasonably’ and had a good reason to need to move, but no chance I’d swap say my preferred pre-booked window/aisle BA club seat (which I might have booked several months earlier) for one of the pair in the middle in their old 2-4-2 business configuration.

I feel you're dwelling on this too much. Have a nice Friday

This is true!! Have a great weekend mate and enjoy the match tomorrow.

Just back from a trip abroad and my GLW did not mind us being separated on the flight over! I was slightly pleased being at the front of the plane away from the Albion Under 10 team that got on (well behaved, but understandably boisterous), and even offered my seat to a lady who arrived in a wheelchair and was escorted to a row further back. But I was destined to sit next to a generously proportioned Sunderland fan.
