I remember back in 1990 on Syd to Lax as a youngster heading up to first class in the 747 and having a look through the cockpit somewhere over the ocean. I was allowed to do that along with the other 30 off people in my school group, but when I sat in first class for a second to see what the seat was like I was promptly told by the hostie that I hadn't paid to sit in that seat!
