just my wife.
I often wonder how people afford business class tickets. Last week I observed a woman and her two kids (under 10 years old) in business. They had to be $6,000 tickets..

Not necessary. 5 of us were treated to First Class by FinnAir for over Atlantic, when they messed up our request for bascinet. Our problem was that the kids got spoiled a lot on this leg and were asking for lay flat seats on all other legs of the trip
Also a lot of customers would get upgraded for free to business/first because of their frequent flyer status.
Another way is using your miles either for the whole ticket or just for the upgrade.
my experience has been your FF status will not help you get first/business seats internationally. upgrading with miles does the trick though...
domestically, however, my wife and i enjoy the upgrades based on my FF status....
When the kids were little, we would sometimes go to Germany for shopping. The first two words of German which they learned were "Stark Reduziert" ("Price slashed"). If the clothes they liked the look of weren't "Stark Reduziert", they weren't getting them.I have no clue what my parents made, once I saw the checkbook - and could not figure out why they would not fit the bill for the Calvin Klein's I was dreaming of at the time! (makes perfect sense now - they retired a little early!)

That really depends on the route. If you care to maximize your chances try to pick up mid week travel with relatively empty business and full economy. I was bumped up several times CDG->ATL or ZRH->ATL with measly Silver Medallion status when economy got full.my experience has been your FF status will not help you get first/business seats internationally.
