Now United (not sure about other carriers) has this cute thing where they're splitting up regular economy into another group. Not economy plus and economy - just regular economy - the back half or third of the plane. The last few rows are free but if you want a window or aisle seat, you have to pay like $20. So if you get a seat less than a month or two away, those freebie seats are gone so if you want to sit together instead of like 4 consecutive middle seats - you have to pay extra just to do that, even with a regular economy fare (not basic economy).
