- About 2 hours ago, flight changed to an aircraft with the new 738 config, reassigned us to 10A,10B,8C (bulkhead),10D,10E
- My wife is now separate in 8C
- System won't let me check-in because it shows that she's in a bulkhead and can't with minors on the reservation

Got an "oh well" from the agent and to ask at the airport. They said they would be happy to give me a seat in row 20 where there's 5 together open.

So glad I put all of those miles on AA last year...

Hoping the person in 10C will swap

There are no restrictions on sitting in a bulkhead if there is a minor in the booking, unless it is also an exit row, as the restriction only applies to exit row seating.
