Is there an airline hack that lets the airline choose a family’s seats (and thus not pay their ridiculous seat selection charge), but keeps the family seated together?
Of all the airline upsells in this hellish death by a thousand cuts that air travel has become, this “pay or we will separate you” threat is the one I find most offensive.

Tickets already purchased, sadly, but noted for next time. Thanks.

@inthehands Fly a different airline? I usually do JetBlue, Delta if that's not an option, and there isn't a seat selection charge unless they're trying to upsell you to the better seats (ie still in coach but more leg room or whatever).
I get that that may not be an option depending on your route, though :/

@inthehands Last I recall, Delta at least would try to seat minor children with their parents, even if they didn't pay to select seats. (I'm not sure if they still do this-- our kids are no longer minors-- or if other airlines also do this, since for the destinations for our all-family visits Delta was the only practical airline to take.)

@inthehands It's absolute bullshit that families don't sit together by default. I mean, yeah, sure, distribute my kids randomly throughout the cabin, you tight fisted ghouls.
The only saving grace is that I go years without needing to fly.
