I always get my seats booked in an exit row if possible at the time of booking. It's easier that way, although you have to use a travel agent. Luckily tall people who haven't bothered to check where they're sitting have less and less asked to sit in my seat when already on the plane too... it's a sad life, but mostly when that happens the cabin crew could bump them or me to business for convenience, but they don't, so your not getting my exit row seat that I've been looking forward to for the past 2 months.
As for the check-in system, meh! Been checking in 48 hours before my flights in Hong Kong for years and being able to change seats 48 hours before if I so wish, then arriving at the airport and just presenting my ticket and saying good bye to my bags. Not a particularly hard process, and I would think certainly less prone to failure than using your cellphone.
That's sort of what I was thinking. Other than the widely regarded as fact belief that M$ is intent on doing evil, they could be patenting such an idea so no one else is able to implement such a terrible idea, thus saving the world from an ad-based OS.
At least it's nice to dream.
Just because they're learning at home doesn't mean they are completely sheltered from the outside world. Speaking as a home-schooled student who is now doing just fine I can say you can be home-schooled and enjoy a great social life at the same time, with friends around your neighborhood and further...
Why diss something you have never done, it's pointless because you really know little about the subject.
The fact is home-schooling works and kids can socialize at the same time, with real people, in real life. People that say otherwise have clearly never been in the same situation and so know nothing about what they are talking about or were just loners themselves and think everyone else is like them.
