Did you take a pic of what you're talking about? I don't recall having a similar experience.

I did not get a picture. Essentially, since there is no bench, when the seat is flat, it still does not reach the wall in front. This leaves an empty space.

Oh, oh, I know what you're talking about. Didn't bother me much. Though, like you, I prefer the seat+bench combo, which obviously cannot be done with EK due to the vanity counter.

How do i know if an AA flight JFK-LAX is in transcon A321 or regular?

Seat Guru pulls up the regular A321 but on the same flight AA shows business and first availability so it has to be the transcon no?

BA, Swiss and Turkish should all have lie flat J. Or AC to YYZ, US to PHL or DL to JFK.

Can i book LAS-LAX-JFK on AA business for the same price as LAX-JFK?

I am trying to price it out on AA.com but its charging me double the price when i do a multi city search, it's only a 2 hour layover in LAX so not sure why

You also can do LOT via WAW, Brussels via Belgium, Austrian via Vienna, Scandinavian via Copenhagen, all with lie flat at least on the trans Atlantic part.  and i probably forgot one

All these have lie-flat on the long-haul leg only!

As these:
BA, Swiss and Turkish should all have lie flat J. Or AC to YYZ, US to PHL or DL to JFK.
Have lie-flat on both legs! Or at least for the bigger chunk of the flight.
