Just last month, I was trying to seat a family of four together on a United flight. While the family had assigned seats, they were not all together which was not good for a family with children. It took 3 calls including one by my client, to get the airline seats together. Airlines are making it increasingly difficult to sit together and even choose your seats in advance. Why are they doing this?

Here are the insiders tips to help you get your airline seats:
1) Buy your tickets early when there are more seats available; this sounds obvious but try to plan and book early whenever possible.
2) If you are able to select a seat, do it even if the choice is not optimal as you can try to change seats later.
3) If you do not get a seat assignment at time of booking, plug your confirmation number directly into the airline’s website and try to select/change your seat(s).
