We're planning a trip to Maui next year as we have enough Aeroplan points for the flights. Myself, wife, and 4 year old daughter. We have enough points to either fly direct to Maui, and direct back in economy... ORRR, we have enough points to fly to YVR economy, and then from YVR to Maui in Business class (and vice versa on the way back).
Which one would you pick? I'm pretty on the fence about it. Direct flights are great, but I've never flown business class before so that's kind of appealing too. Plus I'm not sure which will be better for a kid, just having her sit there for 7-1/2 hours, or break up the flight a bit with the 90 minute layover, and then 6-1/2 hour flight in a bigger comfier seat. She's pretty well behaved, but not perfect.
