When airline customers try to choose seats while purchasing tickets, what they see may not be what they can get. 许多飞机乘客喜欢在购票的同时选择座位，但所见和所得并不相同。 Airlines routinely block coach seats for a variety of reasons, reducing the pool of available seats to reserve free of charge in advance when you book a trip. 基于诸多因素，航空公司常会锁定一些经济舱座席，这使得人们在预定机票时可以提前免费预留的座位有所减少。 On many flights now, 30% to 40% of coach seats are held back by the airline for premium customers, people with special needs or available only for a fee. Facing what look like, but often aren't, high odds of getting a lousy seat at check-in, sitting apart from children or even getting bumped from an overbooked flight, many travelers feel pressured to pay for a reserved seat. 如今在许多航班上，航空公司会为贵宾乘客和有特殊需求的乘客预留30%到40%的经济舱座位，普通乘客预定则需要付费。面对可能出现的情况（可能性看似很高，其实通常来说并非如此），例如办理登机时被分配到糟糕的座位、和自己的孩子分开坐甚至由于航班超额预定而坐不上这趟飞机，许多旅客倍感压力而选择付费订座。 |
