a scam are you kookoo?
He paid for the seat. This is f8cked up.
You guys will win out on this, just hope you have the deep pockets to enjoy your ‘victory’.
The kid who had the seat flew home the day before. Did he use his paid for ticket on this flight to switch planes, or did he pay for a new full price, last minute ticket? Did the family use the ticket to get a boarding pass for the toddler, or did they just assume the seat will be empty? How was the airline supposed to know the seat would be used?
