[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]750k hhi we do business for most flights, though we often put the kids (late teens) in economy. I have a bad back so flying economy can be very painful/dangerous for me.[/quote]

You also have a bad heart - shoving your kids in economy while lounging in style.   [/quote]

Why a "bad heart"?  When the kids earn the money to pay for first/business they are free to purchase it themselves. Until then, they should be appreciative of just going on the trip/vacation. [/quote]

DP. I would never leave my kids behind in economy. Some people sound so selfish.[/quote]

Why not?  Is your 12 yo or 16 yo not capable of behaving without you right next to them?

I'm getting too old to sit in economy plus for a long flight, when I have the $$$ to upgrade.  So we sit in first/business.  The teen doesn't need us to spend an extra $3-4K for them to sit in business.   Sure they'd like it, but they are a teen and there's a lot they "like" that they don't get.

I only upgrade myself when I can upgrade my 10 year old. You're a bad parent.[/quote]

Not at all!

You are just missing out on life and helicoptering.  My kids have learned they are not entitled to all the luxury splurges the parents are.  I was 30 before I went to Europe.  They first went at 8 and 12, and did a major international trip for a month at 5 and 9.  Kids are just happy to get to travel so extensively—we could just leave them at home with grandparents (which we did do for some trips)

In 2 years or so you can easily leave your kid in coach.  However we did it with our TwO kids so they were not alone—had each other and are well behaved.  Once oldest went to college we left the 14-15 yo+ alone in economy plus—they were fine.  [/quote]
