Could never imagine flying an entire family first class. That would cost like $30-50K just to Europe... That's insane.
Maybe a good solution would be to either bring a nanny or have you or your wife fly a day in advance, so one of you has had some rest upon the arrival of the kids?
I use Centurion card and pay for 2 tickets, the other 2 are free.
Last trip on Swiss, 4 tickets First Class total cost around $15k.
I paid 3600 EUR for a Premium Economy trip for four adults, nonstop from Munich to Las Vegas and back.
Not a fan of flying first class (I don't have a Centurion card though, just a Platinum ) because I really do not mind flying economy (I turn on my iPad and the world around me is...gone ) and neither do my wife or kids. Our advantage is: We are not very tall, so no issues here, especially since me and my wife usually sit at the aisle (2 +2, our favorite combo but 4 in the middle is OK as well).
Of course I would enjoy a more comfortable seating arrangement but for over 10k price difference? I'd rather not sit at all for 10 hours. Just imagine what nice things you can get for 15k.
Our advantage is that we always fly as a family, so we never have to deal with annoying seat neighbors and such. Makes a big difference!
