Life is short - you never know what tomorrow brings! So I say go for it and enjoy the quality time together. I have a 3 1/2 Granddaughter who has become a real foodie - slow cooked pigeon is her favourite, closely followed by bambi wellington... so I am so looking forward to my first trip with her alone which will definitely be up front on either Turkish or Aeroflot long haul. She will appreciate the service and the food - and as sleeping in her own space is important to her, the lie flat will be appreciated! My wife on the other hand does not really appreciate the added benefits of J - so will normally be in Y if travelling alone!
