ALL SEAT selections are not created equal.

I travel a lot, booking online with airline sites and through my company's online travel booking method -- both very reliable. On a recent trip I needed to make special arrangements and traveled via Frontier Airlines from Washington to Denver. I bought tickets and reserved seats for myself and my son directly with the airline via its 800 number well in advance of the travel date. Upon check-in, about two hours before the flight, the agent said our seats had been reassigned and were not together.

I have run into this with Third World airlines, but never with a U.S.-based carrier that makes seat assignments.

Returning Vets

THANK YOU so much for Cindy Loose's great story on returning veterans ["Many Happy Returns," Dec. 24]. Your story on Delacey and Taylor Riley was cathartic for me, as a recent returning Marine veteran.

Panoramic Turkey

I SAW SOME really cool panorama photos of Turkey on The Post Web site by Ben de la Cruz. Could he tell me what camera he used to make those?
