Any information on the bulkhead on this plane (row 12 or 24)? Booking DFW-MAD...
Also, I'm catching up on Premium Economy...what's the word on an EXP booking award tickets, any chance of booking PE with miles?

Booked a RT DFW-MAD-LIS flight in late JAN 2017 a few weeks ago. The AC change occurred as expected overnight and our seats were moved to row 12 this morning whilst the seat map was blocked. Just rechecked our reservation and we (EXP and PLT) are now seated in PE row 9 without any intervention on our part.

Eventually, yes. Once it's introduced as its own class and depending how long it takes AA to get its IT ducks in a row (to allow award bookings). But that's a ways off still, until there are more PE equipped planes. For now, they'll just be sold as MCE, which is why I find your question a bit odd. If you want a bulkhead, go for row 9 while you can, don't even bother with 12 or 24. (Unless you're flying after February.)

Ah too bad. That's quite an advanced booking there!
Regarding The bulkhead seats on this plane, I don't think we'll know exactly till its in the service. But presumably they're similar to the ones on the 788, so perhaps you could check in that thread and see how they are.

(In business, the 788 is equipped with Zodiac "Concept D" Business Suite, and the 787-9 will be equipped with the B/E Aerospace "Super Diamond" seat (as indicated in the wikipost). Significantly different product, shouldn't be comparable with the induced motion problems in the Zodiac seat.)
We will probably have to wait for some reports.

That was an erroneous comparison-- the UA seat is entirely different. It was the 789 J-seat on AC that one can look to.

I'm flying DFW-MAD in mid late nov and PEY is fully occupied. Hope it's a glitch but 99% sure it isn't. 
On SWU waitlist. Fingers crossed

I don't think they'll be so similar to the 788 necessarily. The 787-9 will use a B/E Aerospace seat, and we don't know how those will be yet - though upthread there's discussion by brp, JonNYC about the UA seat that's similar.

I just did some looking at a May 22 DFW-MAD on the 789 for a trip to TLV. AA is blocking out the PE seats for that flight, now.
Looks like they might want to start selling PE for the summer season?
Our DFW-MAD on April 22nd has the option to select PE seats.
