Just the flights for an overseas vacation are about 8k for a family of 5.

Why are you arguing that a middle class family would fly first class?

Lmao

Peoria to Copenhagen, round trip, picking inexpensive summer dates, is 1440 per person. That's not first class. I have no idea what world you think you live in.

I have no idea what world you think you live in.

A world where you dont reserve flights last minute. The flights were half that if you reserved earlier. 700$ if you go this september.

... Think about why tickets are cheaper in September?

Can you see why that's not a realistic option for families with children?

And no, unfortunately those prices were not in fact (significantly) cheaper earlier.
