Yeah I will have to try calling, but figured I would ask.
According to the seat map only the first 3 rows are lay flat seats and the rest of the rows are just recliners.
On my flight out to the west coast the plane must be fully converted because it is like 14 rows of lay flat business seats.
that is an old config plane so to get into the lay flat you would have to pony up another 10k miles and the booking class (O or ON) would have to be available. business award books into I or IN depending on your status.
to be honest the business class recliners on the old config planes are more comforable than the F seats from what i have heard. also a good chance the new config will be subbed in if the flight is far into the future so just book the I class ticket and pick row 9 if it is open!
