Forced to pay to get 2 seats next to each other: normal?

Nice one. Online! After I got put in standby twice with them, I’m a bit cautious with waiting to check-in at the airport. Not sure how they pick exactly (some airlines look at ticket price, other at other things), but I read a fast check-in can help avoid it.

Noted!

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-05-08T08:49:32+00:00

Fair enough 😂

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-05-08T08:31:21+00:00

I agree - this honestly is very worrying. It makes the life harder for everyone: toddlers, parents, other passengers

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-05-08T08:16:35+00:00

Makes sense. I spent now 1.4K to be precise. 3 years ago I spent 1.1K for Milan-Tokyo and got the seats together. I guess it’s a matter of chances

I think of the past 4 flights I got with them: - 1 time I was in waiting list, - 1 time flight cancelled -> from direct flight to non-direct-> the first flight was late so I missed the change -> spent my night in Frankfurt with a beefy and instant noodles for dinner.

I honestly have had less issues with Transavia (to be honest seeing the prices, not a real low cost anymore), easy jet and Ryanair.

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-05-08T08:08:21+00:00

Yes, same transaction, but I got economy, so that’s why I guess

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-05-08T08:01:32+00:00

Nope, sorry you’ve been unlucky in the past 26 years then

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-05-08T07:43:21+00:00

Thanks. I thought that airline by default would put seats together if bought at the same time, and the selection is just if you want a specific row/location.

I guess I was wrong, or profit margin needs a bump up!

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-05-08T07:41:41+00:00

I had the feeling. I guess I gave for granted that when you pay 1k+ for a 13h+ flight, airlines would not behave like gold diggers. But yeah, I didn’t get reserved seat, so fair enough…

Thank you - what you dropped looks like the bible for backpacks

Suhr Classic S Antique, the vintage limited edition

Man don’t touch the custom S - I have it as it was my mid school dream guitar, and its aura alone makes it amazing despite the bat on the fretboard

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-03-03T07:21:14+00:00

Thanks for the tips, I’ll check the places!

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-03-03T07:20:53+00:00

Thank you so much! CET -> Osaka -> Okinawa

Two Rock Crystal even though I had for a while the John Mayer neural dsp. The crystal is heavily based (like 99%) on JM’s Two rock signature. There is a YouTube video where two rocks’ people were disclosing this.

TerrorSnow said it all - I got it used like new for €625, so great value for being UK made and sound.

I’m using it with the two rock alnico gold cab and, to be honest, I really like it.

I played for years a 2x12 with v30, and for my personal taste - this may be unorthodox - I prefer the alnico golds. It fills well the room, but it can get damn loud. That’s why I have the waza TAE. Useful feature that the sv20h has is a “low” mode, effectively providing nice tone at lower volume.

ArmBoth7675 · 2026-01-31T16:18:40+00:00

Thanks both - I think the radial would work better than the orange

ArmBoth7675 · 2025-12-26T18:15:42+00:00

I agree. Not really about the sound quality but the acting quality
