AM 788 biz class seat question
Hi, usually SeatGuru has this info but I can’t find it for this flight- on the AeroMexico 788 with 2-2-2 configuration do the bulkhead seats (row 1 and maybe either 5 or 6 I can’t tell) have bigger foot cubby holes? Reviews say they are narrow in this config and I know some other airlines with this 2-2-2 have more foot room In the bulkhead row. Thanks!

Given the paucity of posting here in an "other" forum, I'm going to use this as a general AM 787 seat advice thread.
Any comments on the best seats on the 788s and 789s?
For a 10-hour day flight with a business companion on the 789, I've chosen 8A & 8J, which seems an ideal configuration given the ability to hop back & forth in front of the bar.
The 788 configuration seems more cramped and, for now, I've just chosen 2A & 2C -- a little close for comfort but I don't see any other options (moving to the 789 would make it an overnight, which seems undesirable). Perhaps the seclusion of 6G / 6J is better?
Side notes: really annoying that purchasing a Premier fair doesn't even allow for selection of AM+ seats on the website; why don't we have a separate AM forum here, given AM's size & integration with DL, and that a separate forum would note draw more AM flyers (regardless of the language issue)?

More that 57% of KL's 121, as reported by Wikipedia... 20M to 34M PAX in comparison; again, language issues aside, I believe we'd draw more posts if AM was given its own forum, perhaps "AM and X carriers," which would be found in search for AM info... this forum is difficult for people unfamiliar with FT, especially Spanish-primary speakers, to locate.

I understand your point now. I see that on occasion MEX-ACA, but most of the Embraer jets have premiere class. I have found that on AM's website, on a premiere fare JFK-MEX-ACA where MEX-ACA is one class, I can pick AM+ seats - for a charge. Annoying.
