Doesn't help you in your situation I'm afraid, but the rule is what it is. (Edit: and a quick look at the website suggests the same class requirement is stated there)
yes, we had this too, travelling in revenue F (nose of 747!) but 4 (adult) kids in WT. Couldn't reserve seats without paying money, however the gold line did for some reason (significant wedding anniversary celebration)put some kind of hint into the system which then allocated them front row bulkhead seats on olci. They did also board with us in group 1 and were treated very well, the eldest was allowed to come into F for a glass of lpgs champagne and some warmed nuts.
