But in my experience, the best way to experience AMAZING service in Y is to travel as a dad with one or two small kids. For some reason, the FAs go ga-ga and there is almost no end to the assistance coming your way.
I don't get non-parents like my boss who like the bassinet seat. Why have the bulkhead with the restricted legroom?

Dad with small kids - I assume you're expat? Goodness how many FAs would like to play Mum...my dad did not have such a great time flying with me alone when I was a toddler.
