Visiting between classes
I'm flying first class on SQ1 to HKG. My wife is in business with 7-month-old son. Can I see them whenever I want? Also can she and my baby board with me?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Which flight are you on ?
Should be alright most times but preferably not during meal service , unless within US airspace - when one isn't allowed to " wander " or gather

SQ usually boards mothers with kids and other pax that require assistance even ahead of premium class pax. So I do not see any issues with boarding together.

.Thanks fimo .
From Tassie .. Not surprising . Perhaps meet up in Saffire or Launceston when we return
So it ' s the portion over US airspace I ' m referring to .
Not sure of portion closer to HI - when it ' s international .
Take SQ 1 often enough , sometimes it seems to fly north up the coast then west & others it seems to head west early on . Can ' t recall if it depends on time of year ..

The governing principle isn't whether the aircraft is in US airspace, it's whether the aircraft is destined to the US. In that case, movement between cabins is prohibited by DOT rule.
However, that rule is often honored in the breach. Nonetheless, as with all movement between cabins, make certain that you seek the crew's permission each time. If it is denied, that is the end of it.

You can visit her whenever you want. As mentioned, during meal times may be a bit more difficult as there's no buddy seat in business class.
Your wife should not expect to be able to cross up from biz to first however.

I really cannot imagine people actually saying and announcing here that they'd fly in F and their wife fly in J ! I would without a doubt do the opposite...
Imagine all the brownie points you'd earn by doing just that.. and spending some quality time with your son in J. Until he needs feeding, then bring baby up to be fed and you stay in J.

Pretty sure he would say, "No, Hon. You take it" and I would roll my eyes and say, "No, Hon. Go, go!" and he would be off and running without looking back.
