Many parents worry that if children don’t get the “best” of everything, they’ll complain. Farah says that’s rarely been the case. Talking about long flights, she laughed and said, “All three of them sit with their headphones on and watch movies or TV during the flight.”
When they were much younger, she occasionally kept them with her. “Once in a while I’ve taken them with me, especially when they were quite young so that I could keep an eye on them.” But that phase passed. “For many years now, they have been travelling in economy.” The point is that children adapt surprisingly well. More often than not, they’re excited about the holiday itself, not whether they’re sitting in economy or business class.
