How To Select Seat On American Airlines

When you book a flight on American Airlines seat selection varies based on factors like fare type and your needs. Basic economy seats are assigned at check-in or gate. For the main cabin, you can pay for advanced seat selection or choose during online check-in. You have options to pick your seat when booking, at the airport kiosk, or online after check-in. Families, travelers with infants, or those wanting extra legroom have specific choices. Exit row seats offer more space for a fee. Main Cabin Extra provides extra legroom with fees. Changing seats online is possible. Some seats may be held for airport needs. If you can't choose seats initially, try closer to departure or during check-in. If schedules change, they try to reseat you. To change seats, visit My Trips, enter booking, pick a seat, follow payment prompts, and receive confirmation shortly after.
