Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)
Seat details
Members of AAdvantage can select a seat for a flat fee. This is based on their status. If you do not check in, your seats will be assigned automatically for free. It is not possible to guarantee seating together.
Your alternate flight must be to the same destination as your original flight. You can confirm your flight change only within 24 hours after departure of your desired flight. The change can be done online at aa.com or at the airport (at either the self-service kiosks or ticket counters) or by calling Reservations.
You can change your seat selection online if you already booked your flight. Once your ticket has been booked, upgrading from coach to first-class is not possible. Unsold seats in first-class are upgrades for passengers who have status.
American Airline's policy on flight changes
There are no change fees for domestic, international and selected long-haul flights. As long as you're not flying basic economy Basic economy fares are non-refundable and cannot be changed.
Seat selection: Starting at $9 per person, and ending at 10 per person. If you do not pay, your seats will be assigned automatically. Boarding: Final board group (Group 8/9 depending on the route)
Longer flights: Main Cabin Extra is definitely worth the because you get more legroom and complimentary beverages. Long-haul flights require more legroom so you can stand up and not disturb your fellow passengers.
The system will automatically search for seats together before you leave. While we will do our best to keep you all together, if there are not enough seats, we'll assign seats so that children under 15 years old are next to at most 1 adult.
