Reply To: British Airways shoddy family seating policies

Yes, obviously a joke but while some of the responses to the thread have been factual and very helpful (eg the information about the decades old software the seating systems are built on), others have been frankly judgemental and obnoxious. My point was never that the entire family should sit together but we were allocated 4 separate seats in 2 booking refs with no one seating together which is not particularly clever in a pandemic regardless of the fact it was not what we wanted and not something we could pay to rectify even if we had wanted to.
Thank you to those of you who engaged constructively and to those of you who resorted to personal insults, well this is new forum and it is up to you if you want it to become toxic so early on. Perhaps inevitable but I think that would be a shame.
I have already stated that my kids are minors but as everyone was so keen to know, my youngest turned 13 last month.
Seasons greetings and happy new year
