I wonder at what age it starts to make a difference?</font>
My first time, and it did make an impression and a difference, was when I was 9 years old on a trasantlantic flight.

For my daughter it started to make a difference when she was 7. She started to say that flying with Dad was better than flying with Mom (Mon and Dad are divorced - Mom goes coach, she normally flies business with Dad). She started to get curious about first class -always asked about the beds, so I dediced to treat her, and flew with her when she was 9 (last year) on Swissair beds accross the pond. Boy she loved it! This year (now she is 10) she was flying from MAD to SIN with her Grandma. She was resigned to fly on coach with her. She jumped of joy when she found that their seats were on business class. She is becoming a bit too used to flying in front with me and is thus becoming demanding. I am making an effort to make her understand that she should be happy and feel lucky for being able to fly business and/or first from time to time and that the norm is to fly coach and should not feel bad about it. I do not want her to grow up taking things for granted and becoming too pretentious.
