Bridal party flying

I would ask the other bridesmaids first if they would be willing to pay extra for first class. If they can't, I wouldn't buy first class for you or the bride either.

I agree with amber! i'd want to stick altogether

I would ask the bride what she would prefer.

I would present both options and let them make the decision.

I would ask the bride! I think it's a treat to put the bride in first class, but she may prefer to be with everyone else even if it's in normal seats.

As a bride, I’d prefer to sit with the group and would feel awkward getting that special treatment on the plane. I’d rather pay my own way for an economy ticket and sit together. As a bridal party member, I’d feel annoyed if someone said “you can join us in first class if you’re willing to pay for it!” it sets a divisive mood over the whole weekend. I don’t want to be made to look cheap but I also don’t want to upspend for a couple hours in a first class seat.

I’d honestly just grin and bear and all get seats together in economy— just part of the social tax. The game changer would be if it was a relatively full flight and there was little chance anyone would be sitting together anyway.

I agree with everyone above. I’m guessing this is for the bachelorette? I can’t imagine you’d be flying TOO far for that. Easy enough to just go with economy and be with everyone else for a few hours. A 10+ hour flight, however, may be different lol

I would talk to the other bridesmaids about how they feel. That way people don't feel left out and cause hard feelings when it should be a fun occasion

You ever see the movie Bridesmaids? Yeah I think that would be a jerk move and would make the others feel some sort of negative way. It’s not about what you can afford, it’s about the bride having a wonderful time with her girls. If you can’t all sit together, what’s the point in flying together?

View Quoted Comment That was the first thing I thought of. Still the best part of the movie, though!
