Even worse, people (luckily they did not try me) were moved on a CBR - SYD flight because a family group (5+) including the odd inlaw or two, had their flight cancelled and were put the earlier flight that I was on, so making our flight a bit late, and still wanted to all sit together. The FAs were busy moving people around the plane...and the passengers agreed more fool them. Come on - it's a 25 minute flight for goodness sake!
I dont understand your logic - on the one hand you dont want to change your special seat to allow family members to be seated together, but on the other hand you emphasise it ¨is only a 25 minute flight¨ !! I would happily give up whatever seat I had on such a short flight to enable family members to be together.

Would our opinions on this topic change should we find out that a member within a traveling party (be it 2 pax or what have you not) be a nervy flyer?
Yes, it was only a 25 minute flight. I (and the other passengers for our flight) were on board waiting for the door to close and pushback. The flight after had been cancelled and some passengers were accommodated on our flight (instead of a later one). This group made a fuss because they wanted to be together. We were all on, bags stowed, settled - why should we move to accommodate some late comers? If it was me in the second group, I would have sucked it in and sat wherever the boarding pass had me not insist that the FAs shuffle people around. Their behaviour (unless there were circumstances we did not know about) was inconsiderate IMO. BTW from memory a couple of them were seated together - so if there were nervy or whatever ones in the group, shift around between yourselves. YMMV.I dont understand your logic - on the one hand you dont want to change your special seat to allow family members to be seated together, but on the other hand you emphasise it ¨is only a 25 minute flight¨ !!

... Their behaviour....
Unfortunately some people are greedy and want everything. It wasn't enough they were accommodated on an earlier flight due to a later flight cancelled but they also wanted to sit together? Unless there are very small children involved then no need to hold up anyone further by insisting to sit together for a 25 minute flight.I dont understand your logic - on the one hand you dont want to change your special seat to allow family members to be seated together, but on the other hand you emphasise it ¨is only a 25 minute flight¨ !!

If I am offered an earlier flight and there are only middle seats then I refuse the offer and go on later flight.
I see it slightly differently. Their flight, which was due to depart later, was cancelled and they are given seats on an earlier flight in the final stages of boarding. Huge win for them.While I usually agree with you JohnK, I am not too sure I agree in this situation. In this case, the pax flight was cancelled (i.e. they had no influence on the changed flight). So, it is not unreadable for them to expect the same experience on the earlier flight to what was anticipated on their booked flight. There might have been health (physical or mental) reasons why they still wanted to be seated together.
It's never the end of it on AFF.Hope that's the end of it.
Why do I know that deep down????? No harm in trying though :mrgreen:It's never the end of it on AFF.
