He's portraying himself as not someone who is just about the money but more about helping you get the most from your cards etc
He is doing a good job with that post.

Here's considering flying El Al F   ;D

He needs to read DDMS and at least get the redemption rates correct.

"EL AL’s 777 first class

I recently wrote about how I was frustrated by how expensive/tough it is to fly EL AL’s premium cabins, though it looks like they have a pretty reasonable fare from Tel Aviv to London in first class, so I guess that’s how I’ll be reviewing EL AL’s first class. I’m looking forward to visiting Israel, and might as well try their airline."

Work hard, Play harder!

Just a shame it'll only be for a five hour flight.

Can't wait for them to get railed.

Is It Okay To Leave Your Kids In Economy While You Fly First?
What do you guys think?

From.the comments it seems that more people are upset about them asking for food, than them leaving a ten year old on her own...

I don't understand why it's anyone's business what a family decides to do, if they're not inconveniencing anybody then you have no right to say anything.

Give benefit of doubt. Maybe they had a fourth person with them in economy.

Lucky says he saw them in the boarding area and it was just the 3 of them.
But still, it's not like he carefully watched everyone. Maybe he didn't realize the fourth person (especially if it was a nanny or non relative, he wouldn't be hanging right next to the family), or the person was in the bathroom.
I'm not who you think I am.

The point was the original question whether or not it actually applied in that case.

I think it's a facts and circumstances question. On our flight to the Maldives, there was a man  and several women (wives?) in J on the AUH-MLE sector with a brood of children in the back. Seemed like there were a couple really young ones, being looked after by a 12-13 yr old. Most annoying part was they kept coming up to J to mooch food and generally hang in the single aisle.

My kids are too young for this to even be a consideration, but at the appropriate time, I'd probably do it on a daytime short-haul domestic flight if that's the ticketing that was available. Can't remember ever doing this as a child because my parents never flew premium cabin when we were young.
