If there is one other passenger, you can also use 1E or 1F to dine and visit, and still keep the coveted 1A/1L
I had not thought about that option, but it might work well! We will be flying from GRU all the way to HND and back.
On the Japan sectors we will have two other family members joining, which should make for an interesting flight!
