    Cranky,

    I’m planning a trip to SE Asia next year for my wife and I. We’re debating buying three seats for the two of us… I’d like to know: If we buy three seats together, and there’s a last-minute operational issue that precludes us from sitting together, what happens to the third seat? Will we get a refund?

    Dan – I was hoping to hear back from some people on this, but I haven’t yet. To be honest, I have no idea how this would be handled. I would suggest calling the individual airline you want to do this with and see what they say. There has to be some policy, I would think.
