[NAGDU] bulkhead seating

Commuter aircraft are tricky that is for sure.  The smaller the plane the more cramped it will be.  Even in the MD 88, it is tight.  I have only had once where a flight attendant was insisting on where I sit in all the years I have been flying.

David, 

You are lucky. I’ve been on flights with several airlines where the flight crew was emphatic that “Federal Law said I had to sit in bulkhead”. 

There neither is nor ever has been such a federal law. The bulkhead seats in question varied from those you describe to ones where the wall was practically against my knees on a commuter jet.

The first two rows behind this curtain 'bulkhead' are Delta's Comfort Seats that are available for an extra charge.  In all of my flights on Delta with Claire, I have used the Disability Desk to book my reservations, because they are very helpful with picking flights that provide us enough time between connections for a relief stop outside of the security area.  They have always placed us in one of these seats if it is available without my asking and have never charged an extra fee.

>> Jenine, an interesting phenomenon has happened in regards to "bulkhead" seating. Some airlines use that as premium seating. You have to pay extra. I have experienced that Delta and now Alaska Airlines. My Guide is a enormous Golden. Now I have to pay on some flights a very high price to sit in bulkhead. Delta wanted to charge me close to 300$ for that. AK Air is charging me 75$. I never had to pay extra for bulkhead until about 6 months ago.
