We fly to Europe regularly to visit our parents.
When the kids were babies and toddlers, I can totally see myself plunking down and extra 2K to fly non-stop. That would be 2K total, not 2K per person, right? I wouldn't have done 2K per person.

We have also tried the alternative, and your level of exhaustion depends on what your plans are for your trip, what airport you're changing at and how your toddler actually reacts. The best airport to change is Reykjavik. It's small and clean without long lines like Frankfurt and Heathrow (those are nightmares - you may have to carry your toddler and bags from one end of the airport to the other, worrying you'll miss your flight and bumping into everybody else as you scoot along - then just as your flight is called and you're still miles away from the gate, DC goes big time in his diaper and you HAVE to find a bathroom. Can you tell I have PTSD?)

Whatever you decide, plan on a full day of recuperation when you finally get to your destination. And at least a weekend when you return home.
