I am traveling with my 3 year old on AirTran. So, a 3 year old is not allowed to travel without an adult (seems obvious to me). So is it true that AirTran may seat us apart unless we pay for specific seat assignments? Wouldn't that be traveling without the adult? First off, I don't care if I am sitting in an aisle or middle or at the back or the front or where-ever. Don't care. But, I don't see how AirTran can legally seat a 3 year-old without a parent/guardian. I'm not trying to take away someone else's seat who paid for their seat. I just don't see how AirTran can separate us if it violates their policy to do so... When my child is 6 or maybe 5, I can see how it is a luxury to be seated next to each other, but a 3 year old would likely not follow instructions as her vocabulary is very limited . On AirTran's web site, there are exceptions for those with all kinds of disabilities. If you had an adult with the mental capacity of a 3 year old that would definitely qualify right? So why not an actual 3-year old? I think if Airtran can't seat a toddler next to their guardian, they should not be taking my money for the ticket. There must be a line here somewhere right? Would Airtran seat an infant without a parent next to them?
