Paying for seats together on a plane...would you pay?

[louisekkh]

I'm flying on a 5 hour flight in the summer with my boyfriend.
It's my first time abroad in years and I get nervous on the plane.
We are flying with TUI and it will cost £44 to pre book seats together.
Would you pay this ? Or do you think we will get sat together anyway?
I don't know what to do

If you are worried about not sitting together then pay now for peace of mind. If you don't mind sitting apart then don't pay and take a chance.

We book seats and they tried to make
my 10 year old sit on his own! When I asked if the person next to him if there was a sick bag fro him they swapped! I didn't book as presumed they would sit a child
