[quote=Anonymous]I would give grandparents two first class seats, and let them get a voucher for their own seats. But then I would change my flights and fly on a different flight, put the kids in coach and fly business with my husband. Maybe even fly in a day earlier for some relaxed private family time. Have a separate nuclear family experience without the stress/bitterness of having to be on the same plane with them. The trick to dealing with entitled people is to work around their bad behavior. The way to deal with cheap people is to treat them and work around their cheapness - shame them with kindness. As an aside, for teens who do not need to be sitting with me, I would always put them in coach. You want to teach teens to be flexible and good travelers - and chances are they won't be sitting in business on their dime until they are middle-aged - they need to know how to cope with everyday annoyances like middle seats and bad food.
