I am booking alternate tickets for my parents from Delhi to Chicago (ORD) because their original flights got cancelled.
I’m looking at Qatar, Emirates, Etihad, and Lufthansa, but all of them are charging a hefty extra fee just to select regular economy seats. Otherwise, it’s "random assignment at check-in."
Since it's a super long-haul journey, I really want them to sit together, but paying the extra seat fee for 4 segments (round trip) is adding up to a crazy amount.
For those who have travelled recently on these airlines with a companion under the same PNR/booking code without paying for seats:

Did the system automatically seat you together when online check-in opened?

Did anyone actually get aggressively split up into random middle seats?

Would love to hear your real-world experiences, especially with Lufthansa or the Gulf carriers.

We have a requirement that some of the tables ( streaming/materialized view) have some fields which holds PII info and needs to be masked in dev and QA. We are working on one option where whenever these tables will be loaded , we will get which fields are to be masked from metadata tables and then update the tables with some string like XXXXX. Wanted to know how other people are handling this scenario or are there any native options?
