Friends in First
 
Should passengers from the back of the plane be allowed to join famous friends in first?

Actually I did sit next to Joey on a flight from Chicago to LA.The FA asked me if I would trade my seat so a kid could sit with his mom.I said sure next thing i know I'm up front jammin with Joey.Great time

No. Unless the non-famous friends in the back want to fork up some money so that they can sit with the famous-fiends in the front. No steerage up here, sister.

Hey, I got slammed once by the steward for sharing one of my free wines I was entitled to in First with my luckless husband in coach. They only had one upgrade to first left for sale, and my dear husband gave it to me. I thought that was pretty petty.

My husband and i flew 1st on American to Venezuela RT. Our son's and a friend were in coach. On the way down the flight crew let my son have my breakfast and he came up to 1st for about 15 minutes ( there were only 4 people in 1st) of about 20 seats or so. On the way back using Twa as code share i took my chicken salad back 2 rows in coach and gave it to my son's friend. The FA came by and said where is your salad? I said i gave it to my kids. She proceeded to tell me it wasn't fair to the other coach passengers. I politely told her i paid for it and i could give it away to anyone i wanted. Her statement didn't make sense since everyone in the 1st 10 rows of coach could see what we were being served now that they don't close the curtains anymore.

I have often given my dessert to my kids back in coach. However, the airlines are a lot pickier about passengers wandering around since 9/11, so haven't done it recently.
