Forced to pay to get 2 seats next to each other: normal?
Hello there everyone. I’ll fly soon to Japan from Amsterdam.
Me and my girlfriend bought the tickets together.
While doing the check-in, we got put in different seats, so we had to pay 50€ per ticket to sit next to each other.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens on the way back, too.
Genuine question: is this normal? I got 10+ flights with more than a ticket bought together and I always got assigned seats next to each other without paying extra.
Was I just lucky? Genuine question. Thanks!
