Child in Upperclass
 
Hi
Has anyone flown with a child in upper class? I am travelling with my 3 yo in the next couple of weeks from AU - US and have booked business.
The seating plan seems to be their new herringbone style. 1 - 2 - 1..

The 2 in the middle though seem to have a divider to look through to your partner but I am thinking it may be better for me to get the window and one of the centre seats so my daughter can still see me and if she gets out of her seat I am right there on the other side of the aisle rather than blocked on the other side of her in the centre 2 seats/


Or are the two centre seats good for travelling companions and will I be able to see and access my daughter ok?

Look forward to your replies

TIA!

Can't comment on the seating but VA have business class, not Upper Class (which is designation unique to VS and not VA).

kzm, If you have one of the upgraded 777s, I would put your daughter in a window seat and you on the other side of the aisle (e.g. 2G and 2K) for ease of access at meal times, toilet breaks and bed time, plus outside views. From 2G you will be able to look back at her as shown in the 4th pic of this review.

However, if she needs reassurance at takeoff, landing or turbulence, the opening between the two centre seats might be helpful.

Sounds like you have seen pics, but if you haven't, there are more in this review.
