This was my thought 42 pages ago.

My 15 year old nephew once tried to order surf and turf "market priced" that was going to cost over $100. I looked at him and said, "Yeah, no. Until you're the one paying the bill, you order something with a price beside it, and that price better be one of the lower ones."

Anyone not paying for their plane ticket sits in coach, in the middle if necessary.

If I’m paying for my kids to ride first class then that’s where they’re sitting.

Old people who invite themselves on a vacation need to pay for said first class tickets.

I’d run and hide from this daughter and her family.

Sure. 1/3 of the people on most planes are sitting in middle seats. It's really not that big a deal.

Grandparents in coach, in the middle seats if needed, because that is what they purchased. Got it.

OP, I saw your update. I think your reaction to your parents is awful. You are a horribly unsympathetic daughter and person

Do you people not understand elderly people or people with health problems?

Old people often have health issues that make it hard to travel!!

His back is hurting! SO he does not want to fly to Athens! It's hurting too much to fly coach or first class. Why do you think he is lying??

You are a swelfish, awful person. I suspect one day you will be an old person in pain and your kids will be terrible to you because you modeled such bad behavior.

Wow. Your family sucks.

Why do you think he decided to go on a pleasure trip with a bad back, and purchased coach tickets, and expected a free upgrade from his children?

My dad would die before he would take money or resources away from his grandkids just for his own pleasure. God god, what kind of parents do you have?

Page 40 was the latest update which has triggered a fresh round of drama on this thread.

Bet the dad’s back would have been perfectly fine if OP had caved and given them the first class seats.

Because he was hoping he'd be able to handle it back pain wise and then the pain got better rather than worse. He realized it was a bad idea. It's not insurance fraud. He is OLD and in PAIN and desreves SYMPATHY. And his daughter is giving him none of that.

She's a spoiled brat and so are her kids.

And FYI to your question what kind of parents I have - my parents have dementia and other disabling conditions. It is awful. They can't even go to the doctor without us hiring a wheelchair transport. So complaining about a parent with a bad back realizing he can't fly coach to greece is just....I can't even.

People who cannot empathize with people with health issues and instead dismiss and ridicule them suck. I hope people like that get their come uppance some day when they develop health issues of their own.

And....teens flying in FIRST CLASS?? Jesus. Talk about entitled.
