Long haul with toddlers - business or economy?
Will fly from Brazil to Europe and back with my wife and twin girls (will be 16 months old by then) to see grandparents.
Still not sure whether to get 2 business class seats with 2 lap infants or 4 economy seats? Plan to use miles on Iberia, and it is roughly the same price (10% more for infants). Don't know which will be more comfortable. We are used to the children sleeping in our bed if they are sick or something.
I suppose we will not be able to sit together in business, as we'll need 4 oxygen masks for 2 seats (2-2-2 configuration). Any ideas if we can use a seat or 2 for free if the cabin is not full?
Also thinking about car seats. Currently have rear-facing car seats, which I suppose are not welcome at the aircraft. I will have access to car seats at destination, or probably try to buy there if I find them cheaper (almost certain in that), so no need to bring them outbound. If I choose 4 economy seats, I'll have to buy car seats here I suppose (and carry them around).
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
