DH, I and our 4 young kids go visit my parents every year around Christmas. The airfare costs around $1500.  The rest of the siblings live close and drive there. 
My parents only come visit us every 5 years or so, despite us giving an open invitation to the whole family.  We wish the 2 of them would visit more, rather than us schlepping our family of 6 on a plane.
I also wish they would offer to pay for all/part of our airfare sometimes. (We both work, and my Dad still works, so we all have some disposable income)

So, when you visit your parents for the holidays or whenever, who pays for tickets?  or do you alternate who visits whom?

So im curious  you go visit your parents each year at christmas.  what about going to visit your DH's parents at Christmas...  we usually alternate christmas with the families.  one year with mine, one year with hers...

if things are tight, then you don't go.... at some point in time, YOU need to be the adult and say,  NO.  we are staying home this year.

and honestly,  christmas isn't any more special of a day than any other day..  Save your vacation time, and go visit your folks when its cheaper.  Or  plan a vacation tell your parents  where you are going  and invite them book the same trip...[/quote]
