That is because if one parent goes down the other survives.
But when it costs that much; they should travel together and let the grandparents somewhere inherit the responsibility of the kids if they crash and die IMO.

Only little people have to take the same flight. Personally, I see absolutely no reason why the president can’t take a regularly scheduled commercial flight. After all, the TSA searches everyone who enters.

I don’t think that’s it. I think it’s because they just can’t stand being in each other’s presence for the length of a flight.

How did it evolve that we’re stuck paying for the UNELECTED wife to spend any amount of money she wants on her own entertainment???

As a matter of fact, how does the POTUS seem to have an unlimited travel budget for any reason he chooses?

It’s funny, it seems that the Bushes, Reagans, Fords, Carters, Nixons, Johnsons, Trumans & Eisenhowers had (somewhat) normal marriages, or at least could fake the love and respect. Then there’s the Clintons and Obamas...

How many taxpayers could’ve afforded to visit a dying relative or attend a funeral of a loved one or spend a few short days with their soldier if they didn’t have to pay the taxes that paid for michelle and barracks trips?

FOX said yesterday the reason for separate flights is MOO didn't want to wait the two hours BOO would be in Tucson on the way back.

How uppity!

If I were the president of the United States of America I would not want my spouse and kids flying with me. There are too many unaccounted for surface to air missiles in the world manned by people who want me dead.

This is likely the only time I think Obama is doing the right thing.
