I'd say that someone who paid for their own ticket should have more rights than someone on a work jolly
The cabin crew know if you are traveling with a company that has booked on a corporate rate/deal....clearly lots of companies dont have those (like mine where it's booked in my name and I expense it)) but they do know who has booked through a company and who to look after! DoubleSix said:

So long as I can extend "putting up" to putting the little fkers up in a luggage compartment at the other end of the plane, I'm all for it!
Given the appearance of the kids keeping me awake, I would be gobsmacked if they'd paid for their own tickets though.
What's appearance got to do with it?Given the appearance of the kids keeping me awake, I would be gobsmacked if they'd paid for their own tickets though.

BA's sleeper service says something about an undisturbed night's sleep.
Regardless of First or Cattle, kids or no kids, when going long haul I take the view that you're in a tin can doing 500mph+ through the sky with a bloody great jet engine under each wing, so any proper sleep I get is a bonus. A pair of earplugs is all I need to make sure I'm not disturbed. My only problem with kids on planes has been those that like to treat the seat in front as something to kick, or its tray table as some kind of toy. On the couple of occasions that has happened the parent as either cut it out themselves pronto, or I've had a polite word with them.
By far the worst disruption I've see on planes has been from adults that should know far better!

Hopefully see you again if it was, with my wife and daughter dressed as we like.

I happen to dress in jeans and a polo shirt, and probably haven't had a shave for 2 days when I when I come back from my hols. You didn't happen to be the chap in Dubai who looked down his nose at me, and then smirked when one of the attendants asked me if I realised that the lift was for First and Business class passengers, were you? The same chap who had the smirk wiped off his face when the Emirates butler (or whatever they call them) said hello Mr Bladder, nice to see you back, your usual seat I presume?

Had a similar experience to the above when coming back from Miami a few years ago with BA. Me and the mrs dressed in our holiday gear (shorts, trainers, t-shirt).Hopefully see you again if it was, with my wife and daughter dressed as we like.
A suited gent looked down at us and tried to point us in the way of the non-priority boarding queue. I just mumbled that all was fine.
As we entered the plane, the attendant read my boarding pass "Ahh Mr Oyster, seated in 1A, please follow me sir".
I never saw the suited snob after that, so he wasn't in F.

taking a 1 year old on a plane is stupid and selfish, forget what class your in
I'm taking a 7 week old baby on a transatlantic flight next week - what does that make me?There's a world of difference between a 7 week old baby and a 1 year old baby.
