1) Mid-flight, will the crew allow us to switch seats?

2) If the answer to #1 is NO, will the crew give us a hard time for us switching seats for the entire second flight.

I've flown EK a bunch in J and F and my wife and kids have never experienced it. So, I really want my kids (especially the older one) to enjoy the A380 lounge, etc.

Thanks, in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Depends on the purser. Swapping seats for the entire flight is not usually a problem with most pursers. Mid flight swapping can be an issue with some especially on a 380 with the upper deck . I've never done it on the 380 but on the 777 it was fine with the purser as long as I did it after the meal service.
