Every time this comes up it needs to be pointed out that he did not pay for 9 peoples vacation, his boss did.
Where is that mentioned?
It's at the beginning, when Joe Pesci is casing the house, disguised as a cop. From the script, via screencraft.org:
KATE (to the cop as she pays the boy) I'm sorry. We're going out of town tomorrow and it's just crazy around here. My husband's brother transferred to Paris during the summer and his daughter goes to college here and his son is finishing high school and staying with my brother-in-law.
Kate gives the last of the cash to the Pizza Boy.
PIZZA BOY Thank you. Nice tip. Merry Christmas.
He exits.
KATE You, too.
Kate continues explaining to the cop.
KATE so ••• as a Christmas present ••• My husband's brother gave us all a trip to Paris ••• So we can all be together for the holidays. My brother-in-law drove in from Ohio today ••• we all leave for Paris in the morning. We have a house full of people here and ••• (referring to Kevin) ••• this one's a little out of sorts. Give me a minute and I'll be right with you.
It was a throwaway line early in the film. The uncle paid for plane tickets for all the family members to come see him in Paris, and IIRC the adults were flown first class while the kids were flown coach.
