My daughter's school is using Grand Classroom for a trip to the Grand Canyon. They chose the absolute cheapest flight, departing at 5:00 am .. ridiculously disrespectful of the kids' need to sleep. They are expecting the girls to wake up at 2:30 AM!!! for their outbound flight, and be prepared for a 20 hour day at the start of a 7 day trip. Totally ridiculous. There are 6+ flights to choose from that morning before 10am and they select a 5AM departure. The owner, JT Maxwell, has the gall to tell me that "it's not about money". Baloney! They're totally disrespectful of the kids' need to sleep in order to maximize their profit. On the return, they skip the option for nonstop redeye and instead make the kids connect .. on a redeye! Absolutely, positively, would NOT use this company in the future. Any company that maximizes profit at the expense of kids' health and welfare need to go out of business!
