[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I already know what would happen in my family.  We were upgraded but my mother was on a separate itinerary so she wasn't.  My kids had a full on argument with my mother trying to convince her to take one of their first class seats.  She kept refusing, they kept insisting.  We finally worked out a compromise (with the help of a very nice purser who was amused by the boys) of letting the two boys rotate their seats and my mother acquiesced to taking one of the first class seats.

Anyway, I don't think your parents should demand it, but I'm a little surprised that your kids wouldn't want to give their grandparents the better seats.

I will take things that didn't happen for $100[/quote]

And you will lose.  We always travel with my mother, and since she lives in another city she meets us at IAD as a connection for onward travel.  Not sure why you find this hard to believe.[/quote]

I'm sure that's the case, but your amazing perfect children arguing to have her sit in business and your mother arguing back and the "purser" kindly looking at your wonderful family while they are blocking the aisles as everyone wants to board the plane is a magical story I can't get behind.[/quote]

FYI, Purser is the title of the highest ranking flight attendant on the plane. It's not commonly used by the average passenger, but is a commonly used term among airline staff and frequent flyers.  It's descended from ocean liners, when the head of the cabin attendants kept the books/money handled on board.[/quote]

Even less so would they smile kindly while someone blocks the aisles having imaginary arguments on who gets 1st class[/quote]
