Used my segment upgrades to fly F. Sat down next to a nice gentleman who also upgraded and had brought his 14-year old son to Hawaii for a vacation. We talked, had our meal, ordered my sundae then I asked him where his son was sitting.

I walked over to his son, seated about 20 rows back in Y, and told him to sit next to his Dad and enjoy the ice cream. The son was real happy. About fifteen minutes later, father and son came to Y and he thanked me profusely for the gesture then asked the gentleman seated next to me if he wouldn't mind changing seats so father and son could sit together. The father told me that my kind gesture made him feel like a jerk for leaving his son alone in Y. I returned to my seat in F and my new seat opponent was like a kid playing with the seat controls for the remainder of the flight.
