| I can get free upgrade to first class on the flight to Orlando in November. The flight is around two hours. I know some FC passengers don't like to see kids, esp. babies in first class. But I think most passengers on the flight to Orlando are families since Orlando is the theme park destination. So maybe they won't mind. Any thoughts? |

| Be polite, but don't cater to the other passengers. They don't get to choose who sits with them. Have fun! |

| Go for it. It's a short domestic flight so first class just means you get better snacks. Most of the other passengers will have also gotten free upgrades. |

| Yep, it is. Bring dollar store toys and portable DVD player...BTDT. Have fun! |

| Totally doable! Portable DVD player or iPad loaded with kids shows will be a lifesaver. I've done this cross-country with an infant and 2-year-old in coach multiple times. It wasn't fun, but you'll be fine! |

| If you can manage the kids, great. And by "manage," I mean limit (not eliminate) crying, keep them entertained and relatively quiet, don't let them run around/kick seats/climb over everything. If you can't, please skip it. I would be seriously annoyed if I had used miles/got upgraded to first and then had to deal with the annoying kid behaviors (and by that I really mean irresponsible parenting - I don't blame the kids) I see in coach. |

| I wouldn't waste a free upgrade on a two hour flight. |

Me neither! However, whenever I flew business class with my kids, my kids were always well-behaved. Perhaps it's because the seat in front of them was too far away for them to kick, and they had more room to play. My younger ones always slept. |

| We did FCC on the Orlando flight, got an upgrade and DD was terrific. She loved all of the snacks. Go for it! |
