Do you fly economy to Europe with your kids?

I mean, I love kids, but it did dairy of sink my first time getting bumped up for a business trip that I was sitting next to noisy toddlers who threw food. Only saving grace is that I hadn't paid extra for the experience.

It depends on the trip and price. I found business class on United to Paris a while back for $3500, so we are do that this summer. We flew to London in economy. Just depends.

Also, my kids are well behaved. They won’t cause any issues

Please stop. Children are part of society. I hate American attitudes about segregating kids off in separate spaces. (That being said, parents on planes need to be extra vigilant about their supervision and enforce good manners -- which I do)

It depends on the hours of the flight. We typically like to fly the in-between (Economy Plus on United) as DH and I are tall (5'11" and 6'2"). If we can't avoid a red-eye then we splurge for first class. If we can, then economy plus works well for us. Family of 3, DC sits in the middle.

It depends on how long the flight is.
