Narrative:
During approximately the last hour of the flight the cockpit requested a restroom break. I went into the cockpit and the captain had trouble getting the door to open but with the help of the first officer it opened. When I tried to open it for the captain to come back in there was trouble again it seemed jammed. With the help of the first officer I was able to get it open. The first officer then tried to get out to go to the restroom and the door would not budge. The captain then called the other flight attendants and I then took the jumpseat in the cockpit for the landing. Once we landed the door opened with no problem.
