£100 to sit together?

[sunchild77]

Kids first family holiday abroad... BA want £100 to sit us all together.. Kids first flight they are 4, 9 and 11yrs plus us mum and dad.
Would the airline really sit us all separately? Is paying out really a big waste of money?
Plus Im terrified of flying as it is... I need DH nearby!!
Thoughts please? thanks x

Please RTFT. I don't need extra room. I did not complain nor did I inconvenience anyone or expect anyone to move for me.

If a tall passenger can't afford business class then he just has to suck it up like the rest of us. Not ask a heavily pregnant woman not to recline at 3am on a red eye (even though he himself is reclining and so is his wife) and then start mouthing off/swearing at me and the crew because - amazingly - they told him I had exactly the same right to recline as every other passenger.

MN can be incredibly hostile to pregnant women sometimes - even when it flies in the face of logic!

£100 for a family of five is good - DH and I have just had to pay £80 each to choose seats on a return flight to New York next year.

with BA, check in exactly 24 hours ahead of check in (or whatever the stipulation is)- if you do it on time it will be fine- I pay with Ryanair etc as if you don't you are fucked, but with BA you just make sure you are the first to do online check in.
