This is the first seat map I've seen for these new planes so thanks for posting!
I just booked ORD-ROM (go through Madrid) and I have seats A2 & C3 (not going until July). When I found out my seats assignments just from the numbers and letters I called and said "looks like we are seperated, can my wife and I be put closer to together?" I didn't see this post until now either...
But the AA rep said these are indeed next to each other in a weird way and I if I turned to my right, she would be right there. I'm not sure if the middle pairs are open or not and figure my seats would be close enough to talk from the pictures in another link above.
Looking forward to it!

Hopefully a solid seat map is out soon so I can either change or stick where I'm at.

Ikar, thanks for pointing out my flaws! I called AA back for this and another changed and the new rep agreed with you/me so I'm now booked in 3E and my wife in 3G, right next to each other.
So that's good AND bad.
Again, thanks for letting me know my seat selection might not be ideal.

Seat map for IB 6166 BOS-MAD is now available online. It's the map in post #7. Ironically, AA still didn't have access to it last night, and IB moved my seats on their own from 3J,3L to 1G,1E. How is row 1? I moved back to the middle of the biz cabin to row 5. Good move? We want to sit together on our honeymoon.

Nobody knows yet. All we can do is guess based on other aircraft with similar seats in a similar configuration. Looking at Alitalia's business cabin on the same type of aircraft with the same seats, 1 looks fine. But who knows?
We wanted at least one window for 4 of us, so I went with 3E, 3G, 3J, and 2L. Hopefully, we'll be able to change if that was a bad decision once reports start to roll in.

According to the Madrid airport site, they'll start flying to MIA in March, 2013. I've seen them flying in the summer, as well, but not sure about the fall/winter period.

I know for sure that the A330 will fly to mia until at least 26 October. However, I don't know for afterwards. Did IB update the schedule for the A330 for W13 at all?

The first 333 flight is on 20 of February, so I'm pretty sure he hasn't travelled on them yet...
