[quote=Anonymous]My parents live closer than The West Coast but due to finances and schedules it's tough for them to come here.  I would say 1X per year if you are paying everything and maybe alternate that between flying them out to see you and you flying out to see them.  If you can build up any type or reward points (airline credit card plus trying to fly the same airline when posssible) you may be able to use frequent flier mies for some of the trips. If they can come out to see you on their own I would consider up to 2x with each side coming out once per year.

Maybe self serving but gift them with an iPad mini etc and assuming you also have an Apple product, FaceTime them once a week.

If you have the type of relationship where you could vacation with your family and that would only make you closer, see if you could plan a vacation together so you can use your vacation on vacation and get to see your family at the same time.  We don't have the kind of finances where everyone could pitch in to rent a beach house and no one has a timeshare or vacation home but I have seen it with other families.
