[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: thank you all, again, for great advice.

I’ve never heard of seats.aero until now, but I can see how useful that will be.

Very excited to have a new hobby obsessing over award availability![/quote]

Once you go on an overnight flight in a lie flat seat that you only paid $200 in fees and some points for, it's hard to go back.[/quote]
It really is. The first time my wife had to fly premium economy to Europe she almost had a meltdown after years of being spoiled.[/quote]

Yeah although it's funny, don't even mind an 8 hour daytime flight in economy, as long as the kids are say age 5+. The big change since 10-15 years ago is having cheap tablets/in seat screens with access to either stuff you downloaded or the 200+ movies from the planes system. So much better than a single movie (or sometimes 3 options like United had) starting at the same time for everyone on the plane, can't pause it, if you don't like it, too bad  Oh yeah and reasonably good $75 noise cancelling headphones, again makes a huge difference on a long flight. Give me the tablet, headphones and a row of 3-4 seats with just our family, so I am not hip-to-hip with a stranger, and economy is fine on a daytime flight. That is actually one way people are wrong about "air travel being worse than ever".[/quote]
