    More turbulence for United: A bride and groom traveling to their wedding were booted from a half-empty plane. http://usat.ly/2ojpmtT

        A bit misleading with the headline. They broke the rules and thought they could capitalize on the airlines current bad press

        This isn't turbulence for United. Not at all. You can't just move to more expensive seats that you didn't pay for.

        Because they thought they could get a better seat and move from their assigned seat. Taking advantage of the situation. Dishonest.

        Sounds like there is some information that is not provided in this story. Either way, @united sucks. #unitedAIRLINES ruined Continental.

        Why not let them sit in those seats, though? They were economy seats same as their other seats.

        Because the seats they wanted cost additional $ and they refused to pay the fee. Economy Plus offer more leg room and are toward the front.

        Passengers claimed seats they moved to were in economy & same price as their old seats. You've never moved closer 2 front on an empty plane?

        The seats they were trying to sit in were still in economy. But they were Economy Plus. An extra $119. Not equal to their assigned seats.
