If you were discussing parents sending their kids in F and J on trips by themselves without any supervision, you might...almost...maybe have a point.
So is it a far more wholesome message to tell your kids "Ok kids, I have some extra $, but only enough for mommy and daddy to go sit in a much nicer part of the plane away from you guys. I'd rather spend $ and split the family up than bother sitting with you two for 12 hours and saving $."
That's a bit odd for a kid to process isn't it?
