and get there Thursday afternoon. We can settle in, get a meal and get a good nights sleep so we can start fresh Friday morning. Any other flights would make us fly out Thursday morning or mid day and land Friday morning, making it a jet lagged exhausted day.

I’m not sure how much international travel you’ve done and I hope this isn’t condescending. Jet lag can be an issue but it’s not THAT big of a deal for Italy or near there. We landed in the morning after flying coach and just pushed through the first day crashed that evening and then had little issue the remainder of the trip (14 days) when we did Germany and Italy in 2022. I was 45 and kids were 17 & 18 just for reference. This past summer was London, Paris, Cologne, Bastogne, and Berlin with similar times of arrival and shorter duration of trip. We were able to bump up to premium economy this go round which was much better than coach but not $4k better.
