I remember being taken up to the cockpit but I don’t think I actually got inside because I remember everything else about it, going up the stairs and the second floor seating and all. My old man did a shitload of international travel during the 90s to the extent that for my 10th birthday in summer ‘00 he flew the three us BDL to SAN first class on only miles. We had a layover at ORD and our connecting flight on an a300 was cancelled. Next morning United offered us the same flight but coach seats or… first class on a 747 to LAX with a puddle jumper down to SAN. No brainer for me but would you believe I actually had to convince my parents? The flight was awesome though, the same flight attendant that gave me a tour of the plane told everyone it was my birthday during the pre-flight announcements. I got to sit in the seats right in front of the stairs, with the little coffee table. That’s where I learned I liked spinach salad and I remember being confused when I got handed a hot towel to freshen up on landing because I had never heard of such a thing. What I wouldn’t do to do that again.
