Well, the answer is no, but it really has nothing to do with the reciprocation of *G benefits. Believe it or not, AC doesn't even allow it's own elite members to book exit row/bulkhead rows, and if AC*G can't, why should other *G? The only benefit we have in this regard is being able to book the forward section of the Y cabin, however as a *G, if you called AC reservations, they may allow you to do the same. There's really no advantage, though, of sitting there as the only thing you get is a quicker exit off the plane. No special perks or legroom, and in one instance, you actually get less room.

If you want a seat here, I believe they open up the day of the flight, so if you're lucky you may have a chance....probably would better your chances if you you called in <24 hrs before your flight.
