[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I'm the OP, and I earn tons of miles and upgrades through business traviel. I don't like coach and DH doesn't care, still I would NEVER leave him in coach with the kids while I enjoyed first. [b]I have left him in coach while our child and I have enjoyed upgrades.[/b] Only seems fair that the person who gets the food and better seat has one small "drawback". But you're an awful excuse for a husband. [/quote]

?????? This is better, how?[/quote]

You don't see how this is more equitable than one spouse upgrading only themselves and leaving the other spouse in coach with the kids? Here's it's a trade-off. One gets the better accommodations in business/first but has to take care of the kid, the other is stuck back in coach but has a peaceful, kid-free flight. If offered the choice, there's a good chance I'd pick the coach seat myself.[/quote]

Exactly.  My DH would much rather be left in coach without a kid.[/quote]

When I was a kid, my dad used to travel a ton for work internationally, and so when we took our annual (international) family vacation, he bought us all coach seats and all four of us pretty much always got upgraded (this was way back when airlines still did nice things like that for free).  I still clearly remember once when my sibling and I were 7 and 9 and the airline only had three seats left in business (for a VERY LONG international flight), without a moment's hesitation my father looked at my mother and said, the three of you should go.  He travels/traveled in coach pretty much never (and always complained about it) so that moment has always left an impression on me as a sweet expression of love by my dad.  Realizing now maybe it was a sweet expression of love by my mom instead.   :D [/quote]
