Can I see who I'm sitting next to while selecting my seat online?
I have in the past had a not-so-pleasant experience of sitting near some passengers with bad odour or who were too talkative. I was wondering if I could see who I'm sitting near when selecting my seats online before the flight?
I heard that KLM offered this.

No, unless if
- the airline gives some option for passengers to share their details, e.g. for some seat and meet social service.
- cheating the system, e.g. bribing airline employees or bypassing some security
More details about the Meet & Seat at KLM:
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has launched Meet & Seat, a new service "for meeting interesting passengers on your flight." If you have a reservation, you can link your Facebook or LinkedIn profile to the flight you'll be on, in order to see who else is on board, and decide who you want to sit with – long before the flight leaves the ground.

Can you choose seats when checking in online?
Each airline's online check-in process is a little different, but you usually get the opportunity to choose a seat, pay any applicable checked bag fees, and consider a variety of upcharges (such as an upgrade to premium economy or a fee to get bonus frequent flyer miles).How do I make sure I sit together on a plane?
You can call the airlines' reservation line and let them know you're all part of one family group\u2014most of the time the agent can link the reservations or make a note that will identify you as a family within the seating system. Arriving at the airport early can help ensure families sit together.What happens if you skip seat selection?
Skipping seat selection doesn't mean you won't get a seat on the flight. You might get stuck in the middle seat if you don't pay for one. Even if seat selection is free, you might want to skip it if only lousy seats are available (see the "upgrade hack\u201d below).Is it worth paying for seat selection?
In fact, most regular airlines now charge for seat selection anyways. It's often around $10-$30 per seat per flight segment, so if you cave in and pay for that, it can add up quickly. You shouldn't do it. No matter which airline you're flying on, don't ever pay to select a seat.Jimmy Cliff - I Can See Clearly Now (Video Version)
