If I can't get an assigned seat when I purchase a ticket I choose another flight (or airline) where I can. Airlines routinely overbook and that line about "seats assigned at airport" means that you have an excellent chance of getting a middle seat on a full plane or no seat at all on an involuntary bump if you are travelling on a discount ticket. I want an assigned seat or I don't take that flight. I also do not take advantage of that "$200" voucher if I give up my seat UNLESS THE AIRLINE CONFIRMS A SEAT -A SPECIFIC SEAT 29F,5B,ETC - ON THE NEXT FLIGHT. I've seen people dragging their stuff from gate to gate for hours waiting for standby seats on later always full flights and arriving hours late at their destination. The "$200" doesn't mean much if you have to spend a night at an airport sleeping in a chair or putting out $150 for a hotel room.

I don't understand, why didn't you select your seats at the time you purchased your ticket? Or were you flying standby?
