Giving my son the right start
I took my 16 week old son on his maiden voyage yesterday, LHR->LYS. Thanks to all I learnt from this board, I was legitimately able to pitch an avios CE booking to my ("anything other than Y is a waste of money") wife as a genuine and huge cost saving over travelling U2.
So, thanks to you all for your education (and also to a relatively lightly loaded CE), my son's first ever flight was in in seat 1A.
I'm seeing this as an example for him of "starting off the way you intend to continue"! ^
P.s. since we don't have status and lounges are new to her, the wife is now asking if we can afford to travel J in future

But the purser was so nice with him. She proactively got him a kids flight log book and got the captain to fill it out. Great crew makes the difference. ^

Yes, that's true. I fondly remember my first J TATL, in 64A. That was a good flight, if slightly hazy at the end due to the excellent and frequent beverage service.

Glda your son enjoyed his CE experience.
Oh, I don't think it is allowed to mention crew names on here so you may want to edit that as a Moderator will.

You can send a ba.com/well done if you think the crew XXXX did a great job.
You do realise that by allowing your son to sample premium cabins he'll want to try CW or F next?
Joking aside you can certainly learn from the people on here, I still find it fascinating after nearly 10 years and amazed what folks find/post etc.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear if CE was growing in popularity especially amongst non status leisure passengers.
