[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our hhi is about $1m and it would never ever in a million years occur to me to fly business/first. My parents only fly first and have my whole life. [/quote]

That's interesting.  So they were in first class and left you in coach?  [/quote]

DP:

We have left our kids back in economy/econmy plus once they were 10+.  Kids were well behaved and were always only 5-6 rows behind us- so easy to check on them.  
Have also flow from DC to Hawaii and left my parents back in economy plus with the kids while we flew first.  They were all just happy to be going to Hawaii and didn't care. Given that I was 17 before I ever flew for first time, I think my kids should just be grateful they get to go on so many vacations that I didn't get to do.  [/quote]

Fully agree. If you are 16 and flying to Europe in economy, you are doing well. No need to spend another one or two thousand dollars to go business. Once you are in your 50s it becomes a lot less comfortable.

I see absolutely no problem in kids flying in a separate class (once they are old enough).[/quote]
Yeah, I'd never leave my 8 yo sitting alone.  Earliest we did it was with our 8 yo and 12 yo.  They were seated together and had no issues.  They were 3 rows behind us, I could see them if I stood up.

And yes, once in your late 40s/50s long haul flights takes a toll.  If you can afford it, it is so worth the upgrade.

But if I upgrade my kids as well, that is $2-4K less (or more) we can spend on the vacation activities/dining out.  [/quote]
