DH is American & his sister and her family are going away on holiday at the end of July, they live in San Francisco and have said that we could use their home instead of booking a hotel as we planned to visit this summer.
They have a big house and I asked SIL if I could invite my sister and her family as they've been wanting to take their DC's to the US but the cost (flights plus hotel) was too much.
SIL agreed as did DSis and as it's all very last minute, I wanted to book the tickets asap to get the best possible deal. I have 4 kids, Twin 6 year old boys, one of which is autistic and 2 teens, DD 14 & DS 16
DSis has 3 kids, 9, 15 & 17 years olds.
Because of DS(6) Autism, flights are extremely difficult, a flight to san francisco is 10+ hours. We're fortunate enough to be able to afford first class tickets and the extra space makes a world of difference to him but it isn't something DSis can afford.
I suggested that my DH & hers and the 3 youngest, my twins & her 9 year old could all get first class & we'd pay for it and the rest of us (the 2 of us and our teens) could get economy tickets, she seemed uncomfortable at the idea & we ended up not deciding on anything.
I don't really know what to do, I'm not sure if I was out of line or not, anyone have any suggestions? We can't afford to pay for first class tickets for 11 people.
