Can also confirm you can book an infant seat in the F cabin and not request 2F.
So you may find a baby elsewhere in the cabin!

Can confirm as someone who has flown with both his infants in the small F cabin that if I am to request 2F (or its offered) for a bassinet and the seat is taken, you will be kicked out - caveat, on the day of travel only and by airport control. GGL/You First unable to do in advance.

maybe take some noise cancelling headphones and accept we were all babies at some point in life?

Ive booked 1A and my partner in 2A (F) - flown enough in the middle seats to realise that we dont actually talk during the flight and rather a window seat.
Im currently Gold, but only for 2 more days - I know that on some flights if your status expires you can get shifted from your seat, will this happen in First?

Hi all - flying first next week with Mrs Obduro. LHR - NYC 777 with 8F and we have been given 2F and 2K. YouFirst tell me the flight is full and this is backed up by the fact no more tickets are on sale.
We are working on the basis we will chat across the aisle (first world problems) but whats the best way to explore whether my new friend in 2E might be willing to swap to a window seat?

I am flying solo LHR to Chicago in First for the first time. The seats available are 2K(window) and 1E/F
Would 1E almost be better as far as getting first meal choice? And maybe since 2K is across from 2F with an occupied bassinet seat.
Is there enough privacy between 1E and 1F?

The privacy divider between 1E and 1F is fine but I dont see any real advantage to taking either of these. Meal choices are prioritised based on your status, not seat location.
