Are my posts invisible? Maybe everyone has me on ignore. This is not an issue. I can understand the parents being worried but this is handled seamlessly countless times everyday. Mom and dad, don't worry. Mom will be able to sit next to your daughter.

If the issue is why can't it be done ahead of time, here is the answer. People book and reserve seats trying to be as far from somebody as possible. If the configuration is 3-3, singles will obviously choose aisles and windows leaving the middles open. Pairs will choose an aisle or window and seat next to it, or if they're smart, choose and aisle and window hoping the middle stays open. If it doesn't, the person that had the middle will certainly swap that middle for either the aisle or window so the pair can sit together. Whatever scenerio, look at what's left, a single seat in each row. An airline can only offer what's available. I understand it's a 4 y/o and mother but if there are no seats to pre-reserve, THIS IS HANDLED AT THE AIRPORT. This is a common issue that happens so often that it's second nature to the skilled agents to handle. A bit of fun there but please people, there are things to get worked up over, this isn't one of them.
