You're going on a family trip

You want the cabin for the people traveling with you, not a row of separate seats and not a share you have to buy.

What usually fits

The whole cabin is the simpler trip when kids, grandparents, or a dog are coming. A published seat can work when the route is already on a schedule and you do not need to leave together. Peak holiday weeks need more notice. Elevate Jet says there are no blackout dates, though peak periods require extended notice.
