As as noted in previous posts, diamonds are offered row 1, but I never take it. I find it slightly shorter than the other seats.

I'm diamond and my wife is gold and we fly with our 7 month old. We haven't gotten any complaints and our baby does cry from time to time. In my opinion, the economy class bassinets are the most convenient followed by the elite class ones. The business class ones are pretty high up. That said, we usually book 8/9 A when traveling long distances with the baby.

You can call ahead and ask for them if you are BR Gold/Diamond. They will open them up and give it to you within 48 hours. Sometimes, they won't give it to you because someone has already requested a bassinet. If you Facebook Message them, within 24hours, those seats are yours.

Reference number, your itinerary, and your request. However, this is only for row 8 in J. Also if you are requesting for someone else, there name. If you are not BR Diamond/Gold though, they will not give you those seats.

Just a data point, I just got them to assign (or at least they claimed to assign) 8 AD, 9AD for my family, with 1 infant, stating the fact that we're travelling with 2 kids (plus infant), so need the seats to be altogether. As per current reservation, no status at all for all passengers.
Called the North America line to book the infant ticket plus seat reservations, selected the mandarin speaking option though.

How are people getting seats that are blocked? Do they release them or do you have to call? I FB messaged them and was told to call. I called and was told they can't give blocked seats as that will go to airport control. I'm about T-36 right now. United 1K/*G. I know that doesn't provide a published benefit, but trying to get into an exit row. There are probably 30 or more blocked seats.

Hmm, I was under the impression that only 8A/K will get assigned with infant. The person I spoke to, was initially hesitant to give me 8D, until I pestered her. Then she put me on hold (presumably to get supervisor approval?) before letting me know that she was able to reserve 8D for me.

Finally booked our BR flight in Premium Y from YYZ to SIN, first time ever on BR. Was able to select 2 seats over the wing section of the plane. CAD$1100 o/w. Hope this flight oversells we are both Star Gold.
