ETA: Alone with 2 infants. You have to have 1 adult to 1 infant. [/quote]
Not if you buy seats. My oldest are twins and we never flew without seats for them. It was easier for everyone to have their car seats bc they were used to them in the car and transitioned to flying like it was no big deal. That said, I wouldn’t fly alone w/ 2 infants for longer than an hour flight bc the near impossible thing is if you need the restroom or if one twin needs to be changed in the restroom. It’s impossible unless you want to ask a stranger to watch one or both of your babies, and I never would have felt comfortable with that. Perhaps your wife could just stay a bit longer with her family instead of bringing the babies home and back again?
Another suggestion would be to have her mom or sister fly to you and fly home with them. 
Finally, I think your wife is really ignoring or discounting how disruptive travel is to baby’s schedules. Not just the actual travel or during the trip, but there’s also an adjustment period when you get home. When any of my kids were infants, I avoided a lot of travel to keep the routine more consistent. Also, when my twins and youngest who was also a preemie were infants, we were strongly advised against air travel during flu season. You do not want sick kids away from home. [/quote]
