Most of my family live on the other side of the world, so flying is probably the only option for them to meet our child. We’ve been travelling in economy and club, I have to say, from my experience, people from economy seems to be more understanding.

In OP case, the cabin crew should really have a quiet word with the swearing man though. That is not acceptable behaviour on any public transport.

I’ve just booked our next year trip in First, so we will see.
