Great idea, how about BA run some flights with a C (creche) cabin.
Put all the kids together and get some registered child minders to take care of them

You got it spot on

Although I view it as just trying to squeeze a little extra value out of BA, isn't that within the spirit of FT ?

Bad form
I hope we can both make it to the London drink so I can convince you I'm not really an A-hole

Very poor behaviour and I'm kinda with henky on this one.
You have never met my Little Miss, her laugh and smile can warm even the coldest heart.
We take her everywhere, she very rarely kicks off and we often get comments from people on her cuteness and how well behaved she is, I guess we're just lucky in that respect

Don't all launch an attack on PanGalactic though, he was just asking
Thanks, I know people aren't stupid

How about if we took CW 20J/K and WT+ 28J?
Would that be more acceptable?

And if by chance 20G happened to be free, what's the chances they wouldn't Op-Up?

If they didn't, then Mrs P and I would gladly "tag team" during the flight anyway.

What he could do is book one parent + the child on the 241 and then buy an economy ticket for the second parent. The child would then rightfully be in F and guesting the parent presumably less objectionable than guesting a small child.

The saving cited by PG on a child ticket is negligible, often less than £5 on an economy ticket, so there's no reason to be concerned about the additional cost of an adult Y ticket over a child Y ticket.
OK, so I'm named after some tea that monkeys like to drink now eh ? That's fine.

So it's a Gotcha, but not really, you had me worried when I read the first bit
