You can choose the bulkhead seats for free. When you do seat selection, they come up as preferred seats, complimentary and the icon is a blue seat with a star (instead of a gold seat with a star)

Aren't you always able to choose preferred seats at check-in time without charge? That's always what I've done sometimes to get exit rows.
