As a sometimes business traveler I know you have to get to the airport EARLY for this. I don't think airlines will let you reserve Emergency in advance (I have tried). With Emergencey row, I think they need a visual to see if you can physically open the door, etc. For bulkhead, sometimes you'll get lucky when you check in and ask nicely, but I think the frequent mileage customers are always given first choice on these (I think the airlines keep them open till the last minute for them).

Living in Atlanta I usually fly Delata and now the only way to get bulkhead reserved in advance is to be a medallion memeber (they automatically hold the first couple of rows). Otherwise get to the airport early and ask nicely for the bulkhead or emergency row.

I travel extensively mostly for business on Northwest Airlines. They will give emergency/bulkhead seats to their Elite members first. Elite members can reserve either type of seat prior to departure. To become an Elite member you must fly a minimum of 25,000 (silver) air mi. in a calender year 50,000 mi.(gold) 75,000 mi.(platinum)<BR>This is also why you see so many passengers flying in first class. The airlines award complimentary upgrades to first class for being a loyal customer.
