Given a travel related situation, and given a specific question about the situation, summarize the question into a title

Input: Consider Input: My family and I are flying to New Zealand (AKL) from the USA (LAX) in just over a week. We booked 7 seats (in a single booking), but when I check the American Airlines website it says we don't have seats assigned, and recommends I select seats. The 7 of us are Mum and Dad (my wife and I), 4 kids (16, 14, 13, 5 years old), and our friend.

When I go to select seats there is only two areas that have a block of enough open seats for 7 people to at least sit close together, however more than half of these seats cost (approx $86-$120 USD each).

Now we don't care where on the plane we sit, we just want to sit together as a family, but can't afford to pay another ~$500 USD to select specific seats.

Are we likely to be seated together anyway if we check-in together? Or are we just going to get random open seats?

Our flight back is on United and we were able to select seats together on the United website without incurring any extra charge.

Here is a screenshot of some of the available seats, to show what we've got to work with currently.

Output: How to seat family of seven together on long-haul flight?

Input: Consider Input: We have the report of a Ghanaian-American dual citizen, recently naturalized, presenting their new USA passport at the UK border answering "yes" to the question "have you ever had any problems with immigration anywhere" and getting in some trouble (although no refusal).

We have the CBP answering in essence, the two passports of a dual citizen are completely independent.

Is it the person or is it the nationality? Is the question "have you ever had any problems with immigration anywhere" to be understood on its face value, where "you" is the biological person or is it "you as a citizen of the country your passport you are presenting to us" and they do not give this tirade every time because for the overwhelming majority of passengers the two are the same? Is your new passport a clean slate? Or do you carry the problems resulting from the heightened scrutiny of your other citizenship forever? Is it possible for a border guard to swipe my Canadian passport and be aware of the history of my Hungarian passport? How entwined are my two inner citizens :) ?

Let's restrict the question to those who have at least one citizenship in the Five Eyes countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States) and one of the Five Eyes borders.

Output: Can the border guard match up the passports of a dual citizen?

Input: Consider Input: We are traveling to Istanbul, Turkey next month and we would like to take a day to visit Izmit.

With that plan in mind what we would like to do is travel from Istanbul (european side) to Izmit in the morning ~7am and return in the evening ~9pm.

Can you tell me how we can make this journey, preferably by train and where can we buy tickets from and what the approximate price is?
Output: Train from Istanbul To Izmit and back
