I've never dared to actually do this, although I did run the theory past an AF reservations agent who said that I mustn't do it, but that it would probably work...

Has anyone ever tried or theorised this?
Please don't even think about doing this. It's for families with babies. Not being self rightgeous, I have no kids. It can be a big hassle for families with babies to be seated a few rows back and see the much more convenient seats at the bulkhead are ocupied by frequent travellers. And see it from the positive side. Less chance the baby will cry all night during the flight
