moving between bf and coach cabins
Planning a flight to TXL - with BF tickets pretty cheap at the dates I want to travel (1300$), I'd rather be in A cabin. My girlfriend already has her tickets, in coach. We are returning on different dates.
On outbound flight, though, I'd rather be in coach hanging out with her - would FAs be annoyed at me moving between cabins?
I expect the flight to be empty-ish (traveling 12/25), so I do expect seats available in coach to sit next to her.

A BF passenger going to the main cabin is absolutely fine. A main cabin passenger coming up to BF frequently (if at all, except when passengers are switching seats which is allowed once per flight) would probably be frowned upon by the crew, and definitely not allowed on the way back into the USA.

Yep, exactly. And coach both ways on days that I need is almost as much as BF - around 1100$. (Much cheaper for ,y gf, since she is returning later in January).

Didn't Elaine try this on Seinfeld once? I think that she tried to sneak (the other way from the OP) into FC on an overnight flight like twice and was run back into Y. CLASSIC!

Yes she did as Jerry sat next to a blonde and had a sundae. Of course Elaine was trying to poach into FC.

I read several months ago on FT (perhaps UA or LH forum?), someone observed a lady slip into the business class cabin, nap in the comfortable seat, then wake up and return to her economy seat! Art imitating life, or vice versa?
