I wish they would sell the "jump seat" for a flight - 9/11 has scuppered that I suppose - but I would loveto have a good look at the deck in action.
My son (who was 11 at the time 7 years ago) was lucky enough to have 20 mins (up to the seatbelt sign when they got really busy) in a A320 thanks to the genourosity of a great Captain and FO.
If we could pass all the screening and security - why not????

Just a little point...whilst the deck visit is possible when on the stand at the END of the flight, asking for a quick peek and so on in flight whether you're in Club, Business, Upper, First, Steerage, Cattle or whatever will enevitably result in refusal and perhaps suspicion, so please don't put yourself or us in that position, although I totally understand that this situation is an example of the crazy few ballsing it up for the genuinely interested and I totally sympathise.
It makes you feel a heel to say no, but equally "in this time of heightened security" (copyright Tony B-Liar) you have to understand that asking the question puts us lot in a difficult andf annoying position.
