[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, this is a tough one.  I'm usually one who is a "give my parents what the want" camp, but the emotional blackmail of not going if they don't have first class is BS.  Also, would they have paid for first if you weren't in it?  They just want your miles (which, people know miles aren't free right?  They are earned with money).

I'd say, leave your kids to make the choice, but I would say let your kids have them.[/quote]

Yeah. My mom assumes that because DH travels for business all the time and has enough FF miles to travel to the moon and back that first class are a snap for us to acquire at minimal cost. At the same time, my older son is really ok giving up his first class seat to a grandparent. Having this be an extended family trip is really worthwhile. My younger daughter…well…clearly she has been spoiled by DH as Daddy’s little girl and is not so wanting to fly anything but first class. I kinda want her to fly to Athens in coach just to remind her of what normal is for most people. [/quote]

I changed my mind; you should let your parents have the first-class tickets. I can't believe your daughter won't fly anything but coach. This spoiled attitude trumps your parents' bad behavior. I say this as someone who routinely flies first with my family.[/quote]

I was mostly on team husband, but this is really gross.  Grandparents are behaving badly and kid is behaving badly and I wouldn’t want to go on vacation with any of them.[/quote]
