My husband and I will be traveling with

My husband and I will be traveling with our 5 year old from the US to Palermo and Rome in July 2015 for my husband to visit family he just found out he had there. Since we are traveling with a 5 year old I was thinking about going business class so there would be more room for him to nap most of the way however I was shocked to see how much a price jump from economy it was. Anyone who flies alot know any tips or tricks to help with airline upgrades that won't break our budget? Any advice will help.Thank you!

Have you tried airline miles? I know some friends who have gotten upgrades this way. I found this great article on the very subject!

Air France has a "Premium Economy Class" which has more space available at a fraction of the Business Class fare. They also have good connections from many US cities via Paris to Italy. I fly them all the time in and out San Francisco.

Glad it helps. There is also the possibility of paying a bit extra (some 60 € ) even in standard economy class to book certain seats which have more leg space. Air France is an excellent airline and if anyone is thinking to travel business class, the standards are very high.
