Sensible
but I would check with your brother first in case they get tremendously arsey about it. After all, you'll be helping look after them on the holiday, do you really need them bouncing away beside you on the plane when you can't escape?

my brother wouldn't care at all, i don't think
normally i get around it because younger brother and missus sit with them and dad and i slope off to the posh seats, but this year younger brother isn't coming, so i got landed with it.

it's just that i would feel bad - 4, 3 and 1 on an aeroplane is a lot of entertaining/screaming.

oh god, the screaming.

Their spawn, their problem
I'm sure you'll be doing your fair share on the holiday - I would take the upgrade.

EDIT - I'm pretty good with kids, I could take that seat if you want?

i wish
it would be brilliant to have someone to go drinking/clubbing with, much better than taking a bloke! however, to get my dad to cough up for the flight and the room i'd have to convince him you were my life partner, and he'd just say "berk could do better"...

Will I ever get to find out?
Or would you do an Aber, and emigrate to avoid me?

Upgrade yourself
don't tell them. Check in online and pretend you've been automatically upgraded. Happens all the time ;)
