Ok, so back to the 'can I book bulkhead or exit row seats on a transatlantic award ticket in advance if a Skyteam elite plus member (NWA plat)' ...

Well after calling CO reservations and selecting 'seat assignments' here's what I was told.

1st call - Yes we can move you into the exit rows or bulkhead, but we can not move the people you are traveling with (mom & dad) as they are non-elite members. so I held off.

2nd call - No, They are not available (put pretty bluntly).

3rd call - Yes they are available but only at the airport day of flight

4th call - They are available only 24 hrs in advance, if you call back then we may be able to move yourself and your parents into the bulkhead seats pending availability.

Now not really a HUGE deal, but it would be nice... EWR-DUB with the extra leg room, hey I'd love it... But just really confused as to what the actual policy is. Although I'm a NWA member, I fly CO a bunch primarily on my texas and florida runs, and they've always been great in service and support.. But as I said just confused with all the different answers I've been getting.
