[quote=Anonymous]Lie-flat seats are not as great as they sound with kids - we did them to/from Hawaii recently.

The way they're configured, it's hard to be "next" to your kid -
If you get 2 seats in the middle, it's a very far and awkward reach across the consoles to help them with their food, iPad, monitor, stuff, and they are on the aisle on the other side of the plane so you have to go all the way around if you need to get to their seat for something.  If you get 2 aisles, the seats don't line up directly across from each other - they're kind of staggered, so you end up having to get up to see them / help them out / etc.  We were traveling with 3 adults and 2 kids older than yours and still found it hard to be "close" to them in the times we needed/wanted to be.  I enjoyed the seats myself and would absolutely do them solo or with another adult(s), but probably wouldn't do it with kids again.

I'd generally endorse the straight-shot anyway - less hanging out and waiting/whining, fewer chances for things to go sideways with connections, etc.  [/quote]
