1st non rev trip

jr_lenz · 05-15-2008, 11:09 AM

Stevie made her first non rev trip. She did great. For the first leg they put me and the two kids in first class. I was soooo nervous that she would bawl the whole time and piss all of the px off, but she did great and slept for the whole thing. Her brother was the squirmy one, and who gives a 7 yr old a real glass on an airplane, I don't care if he is sitting in 1st class. but honestly the flight attentends were SO nice to us.

In fact she slept for all of the legs except for the last one home, and I breast fed her and she passed back out. It was a great trip we sat together (with the exception of the first leg) the entire trip. and our checked bag even made it!

the branding in WY went well, no one got hurt, I would post pics, but I don't want to offended anyone.

What airline lets kids fly first class? Amazing!
Great to hear the trip went well!

Some airlines let them, some say they have to be 7 or older, some say 9 or older, some 13. There's no consistancy.

My kids (2 and 5) and I flew in First Class on United this past March on a Buddy Pass from a FA friend of mine. I was grateful that they put us there, but I was a nervous wreck for 3 hours that the kids were going to be horrible. Luckily the kids were great with much entertaining on my part. It was not a relaxing trip in First Class for me, but the kids loved it!

That is neat but I bet I would be a nervous wreck also. Sometimes I get nervous in the back when my toddler gets upset! When we list ourselves on coair.com it doesn't even give the option of first class for my 2yo. I guess cause her birthdate is in the system.

we flew united. We didn't list for it, it was what was avaiable after everyone boarded. I ask the guy three times if he was sure that it was ok, and he told me to relax and enjoy it, I deserved it.

Ya, not at all a relaxing flight! hopefully someday I will get the bump up when I don't have the kids!

Branding what? Cattle?
