A bit slow, there, my friend. I beat you to it.

Missy, I mentioned this in another thread but I'll ask the question here. Since all these changes, I was kicked out of some of my seat assignments. I called in and it was supposedly fixed but I am now getting 3 different results depending on where I look:

1) on the booking page, it shows us in 3D/F, which is also what the rep told us we were in
2) when I view the flight seat map from my reservation, it shows us with no seat assignments at all and no available seats
3) the app shows us in 3A/C

It has been like this for over a week so I don't think it's a case of the app 'catching up', plus I have refreshed it, taken it down, etc.

So my question is, why is the app not in sync with the website, why are we showing 3 different seat assignments (and no seats in one case) and how do I know which is correct? I have a bad feeling we are not going to be able to OLCI and worse, that we likely don't have seats at all, which will be a big problem as the flight is full.
If you want to email me screenshots of the different views you're seeing I can research it, but I would trust the agents view over the app.

Thanks all, off to read the thread now (don't know how I missed it before).

Maybe I missed it in the other thread - do AA elites have any access to PC without a fee? Currently I get free exit row or row 6 selection. Have to use row 6 now that we're travelling with a child. Am I booted from that now with PC unless I pay for it?

On flights that ARE configured with Premium Class, you do NOT have complimentary access to row 6

On flights that are NOT configured with Premium Class, row 6 is part of Premium Plus, and available to American AAdvantage Platinum members, and American AAdvantage Executive Platinum members

at the risk of having this devolve into DL LoungeTM banter, there are times when being a bit slow so she (general feminine pronoun, not directed at present company ) can get there first is a good thing

Be careful with row 6 depending on how old your child is. You can't sit there with a lap infant because of the seatbelt airbags.

I don't want you to waste time on this if it is a normal thing when it seems you have a lot going on right now. But if you are interested from an IT POV as to why the 3 views are different, I'm happy to send you screen shots. But if it's a normal thing, then I won't worry about it. I just thought if it could be synced up, it would help when it comes to OLCI.

I'm definitely interested from an IT POV.

Ok, PM me your email address and I'll send them off. I don't believe I can attach photos to a PM.
