Should we fly first class on our flight from New York to San Francisco?
I am planning a big California vacation for next August, and they released airfare for the dates we are traveling. We are going from JFK to SFO, driving down the coast, and returning LAX to JFK. We would like to use airline miles and have three options: Delta Coach or First (going there is a 737 which might not have TVs, which could bore the kids) or United Economy Plus on the Premium Service planes. United has no seatback TVs, just more legroom, while Delta might be updating only First Class by adding TVs----Coach is questionable. Which of the three do you recommend? We have 2 adults and 2 (11 year old) kids traveling.

Delta First Class. Call and check about the T.V.s...

if you can afford to fly first class why not... more leg room, big and comfortable seats... it's just 6 hours of flight... they just sleep on it.. or not... but you can also bring your own portable dvd's with your kids choices of movies they can also bring their PSP/ or what ever game pod they have... or they can even watch from their own Ipod.... if you can afford a first class seats i would think they have these things... or you can book a late flight so that they'll be sleepy and just sleep thru out the flight...

I haven't been on United, but I've been on Delta, but not to San Francisco. But in my experience, Delta is a good choice. The flight attendants are extremely pleasant and accomadating regardless of class, the seats are decent, and you might get TV. As far as economy or first class, I'd say if you have the frequent flyer miles or money, you could upgrade if you wanted to. If your flight doesn't have a TV, bring a portable DVD player with their favorite movies and cartoons. Oh, and I forgot to mention, Delta, unlike other airlines is lenient about letting coach passengers using the first class lavatory(or at least on our flight). Regardless, enjoy your travels.
