I'll start by saying that I am vehemently opposed to visitors in First, and have consistently rallied against posters who ask that their spouses in J be allowed up to kiss them goodnight, etc. I've never had any problems on CX in this regard, but I would immediately escalate the issue if I felt any crew were consistently allowing passengers up front for any reason other than an emergency.

So, with that out of the way, a hypothetical occurred to me. What if the only two or three passengers traveling in First (as has been known to happen) are of the same family, and wish somebody booked in J to come up and say hello at some stage? Should the collective will of those booked in F have some influence over how the crew protects the cabin?

Mind you, I don't have skin in the game on this issue, it just crossed my mind as I'm holding two F seats in the immediate term that on a flight showing F4. Yes, yes, I know they'll likely fill it, and I don't know anybody on board that I'd want to invite up. But that still doesn't keep me from wondering....

Thoughts?
