Whoa there... no name calling intended! Appreciate the input.. it's why I asked the question! ^

(And I have experienced that "happy to help" attitude -think I've told this story before.. Sorry - on a TT flight when I upgraded and a friend was in Y.. FA asked about him.. then explained she couldn't "bring him forward"... which I would NEVER expect anyway! - but took him a newspaper and a preflight drink!! I joke with him about that by asking (He's a QF FF) "Would that have happened on QANTAS?"

Would have been more than happy with the answer "Forbidden by policy" If the crew isn't going to like it then I for one wouldn't put them on the spot by asking.... that's a bit mean!!

As I said.. my curiosity was aroused by the BA comparison...

Don't think it's actually terribly appropriate to go "back" either... Y+ may be a LOT nicer than Y.. but even in the 8 seat main Deck area it would be difficult to "visit" without being in the way IMO.... which is why I haven't done that either!!

He's not my "wife" OR partner... so SOD'IM....

Thanks again for the views!
