Quick question: Out to HKG I am seated in the upper deck front cabin, but have succeeded in UUAing Mrs FF99 to F (the elusive 2nd F seat remains elusive

). Presumably if I am allowed to have a drink with Mrs FF99 the access down the front staircase is very simple, but I equally assume that it would normally be kep roped off. Is that correct ?
Is F embarkation (at LHR) and disembarkation (at HKG) through door 1 or 2, and will I be allowed to embark / disembark with her through her door and using the front staircase, or are F's protected (as they really should be) from marauding CW pax trying to take short cuts using the staircase ?
There's a rope at the bottom of the staircase, but its a pretty large area that noone ever goes in so i'm sure you could meet there. I don't think the crew would let you into the F cabin, but she could come up to you.
Disembarkation is from Door 1. If they cant get off on the UD, CW passengers are held on the staircase until F have left.
