Airlines will book you together if seats still remain together...They're not gonna split you up just for the fun of it.
Only way to guarantee seats remain together is to select seats ahead of time. People complain about "junk fees" because they're mandatory parts of the cost. If a website is upfront about a benefit you're losing, it's not a junk fee.
Lastly, these basic fares are really designed for single travelers on a tight budget with fixed plans. Delta's website makes this clear, and websites that don't make it clear really should.
- CaptainMarvel 3y agolol no - eg. Ryanair does split you up for “reasons”.
- gnicholas 3y agoThe question is whether it is understood up front that there is a type of ticket that doesn’t allow seat selection, and that the customer has selected that type of ticket. Until the last few years, this wasn’t even a thing in the US on major airlines. Then United launched their Basic/Shitty Economy and it’s been a race to the bottom ever since.
- cycomanic 3y agoAre you sure the people complaining didn't prbook seats. I recommend you look at the fine print. Selecting seats does in no way guarantee you the seat that you have selected. I have seen cases where people who prebooked seats got split up, and didn't get a refund for the selection either.
- FireBeyond 3y agoQatar openly describes their top tier status as having a benefit of "if you want any seat, taken or not, it's yours (unless another top tier person is sitting there)".
- ezfe 3y agoI'm aware that the fine print says "if we have to, we will screw you over" but I fly over a dozen flights a year (108 in my Flighty app) and never had a problem. Airlines have moved me, but they always confirm who I'm flying with and it's always an upgrade to get another group together.
