Air Canada put out seats 6 rows apart even though my boyfriend and I booked out tickets together. I'm not sure if this is normal for airlines to do but I flew with Cathay, EVA, Malaysian, Thai, Emirates and Qatar- I've never experienced this.
If we are so far apart then why should we even bother to book our tickets together?
On top of that, the customer service on the plane was, let's say, eye opening! A flight attendant was trying to find something in the overhead bin n she took most of the things out n put them on the customers' lap- again, something that I've never witnessed!
