Call me a dick if you want,

Yup, you're a dick.

but sometimes flying noisily is the only practical option

Drive. Babysitter. Don't go.

No we're not going to drive cross country to grandma's funeral.

So you're a dick who knows they're a dick, cool.

I hope calling me a dick has helped.

Driving and babysitter are not always practical options.

I'm proposing a solution that doesn't require unilateral sacrifice for zero benefit to your own family. Unless you plan on name-calling every parent until they accommodate your request, it's not going to work.
