Personal Consumer Issues • Economy vs premium economy when traveling with a college-aged kid

When my daughter saw the class of travel I was booking for both of us, and the fare difference ($700 vs $1500 round-trip), she instead wants me to:
1. book her ticket in economy instead, AND
2. that I give her the $800 fare-difference to spend as she wishes
I would definitely not give her the difference.

I would fly economy though, personally. I don’t get a lot of value from premium economy, as I am not sufficient tall that normal economy is uncomfortable but premium economy would be $800 better.

I would do economy and keep setting the example the being frugal is good.

“You know what, I thought about this and think we should save the money. Let’s fly economy together but do a musical in the theatre district as a treat”.

Net-net, you’ll save like $1450
