[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re flying to Australia in economy. We can afford the business tickets, but I just cannot justify it for a family of 5.  I think it would have been about 15k more.

I’m also not ready for my kids to get used to business lol. I have a feeling we’re all going to be regretting it. [/quote]

So if your kids are old enough to sit together without you, put them in economy and you go business. We have done that since the kids were old enough to manage (8 and 12 sitting 
together)

That doesn't send a very good message in my opinion. I am the PP who is traveling to Europe with adult kids and we intentionally bought economy so we could sit together. Starting the trip off separated like that just seems selfish on our part and creates the wrong tone. We will all suffer together!! We are staying in some pretty decent hotels though! That is one area I do not like to be cheap about. And I don't like AirBnB unless we are staying somewhere long term (more than just a few days).

I managed to sleep pretty solidly on my last trip to Europe in economy. Just took a Klonipin and I was out for a few hours and feeling rested upon arrival. No need for a larger seat for that!

I guess you you.  Not sure why it sends a bad message to let teens sit in economy (or economy plus) while the parents who earned the money sit in business.

Once my kids earn their own money they can have the luxuries.  I was 29 before I went to Europe...they first went at 8 and 12.  I'd say they should consider themselves lucky.  
And yes my teens and now 20 something's  are just fine with their seats.  One is on a college grad trip with friends.  Everyone else is in economy (not even economy plus). My kid and one friend are in premium select.  That reminds them how lucky they are.  And everyone in economy has never been to Europe before (or only once if they studied abroad in college). Whereas my kid has been 8 times previously.  And if they didn't appreciate it (and complained about premium select or economy plus I'd put them back in economy)

You sound like a tyrant. I feel sorry for your kids. [/quote]

Nothing wrong with economy when you’re young and fit. It gets harder as you’re older [/quote]
