[quote=Anonymous]I would be mortified at the thought of the conversation the grandparents might have in coach with adjacent passengers:  “So where are your grandkids?” “Up in business class.”  It’s horrifying and unacceptable, and it seems the grandparents might feel the same way.

So maybe the solution is to get a refund on your kids’ seats and downgrade them to coach, where the grandparents can have some quality time with them (each kid can sit next to a grandparent).

I would just tell an elaborate white lie to my kids and parents that the airline made a mistake and bumped two seats for revenue passengers but that you were being compensated on some future trip.  Then I would actually be happy that A:  grandparents weren’t being rewarded for blackmail, B:  spoiled kids weren’t getting more spoiled, and C:  grandparents were getting hour upon hour of one-on-one time with the grandkids.  Ta-da.

It’s not the parents being in business class that’s the issue:  it’s the grandkids.   And kids these days are spoiled…especially the ones sitting in business class that I walk by on my way to my economy seat ;)[/quote]
