Children in Upper / First Class
Discussion
What are our thoughts on this?
Our first little bundle of joy has just come into the world and we have a family holiday this time next year to Atlanta, so baby will just be 1.
I have just realised I have enough Virgin Miles to upgrade us to Upper Class, depending on availability on that particular route.
On the one hand the non-selfish side of me thinks if If I was paying however many £k for upper class I wouldn't want to have a (potentially) screaming child ruining my flight, but the selfish side of me thinks feck everyone else, We have the same entitlement to that class as everyone else.

Obviously a topic that divides opinions.
We have paid full fair for Premium Economy both ways thus far. The flight back is through the night so I think that is probably the one we would look to upgrade on. This isn't a vanity thing - I'm 6ft 6 and hate flying in the cheap seats as a result. With a baby to look after this will be worse hence why we've gone Premium and are looking to upgrade.
By then the baby will have flown probably 6+ times as the grandparents live in the South of France.
We are very considerate people generally and have had many flights ruined by children not being controlled by their parents, so we should be very conscious of not doing the same to other people.
As an aside, is the upgrade from PE to Upper Class even worth it on Virgin? Have flown Virgin Transatlantic in PE a few times but never Upper Class.
