Just got my e-ticket for Flight 680 SDQ - MIA on 10/19. They had me in 3B (A 300 J class) and then e-mailed me 15B (sounded like deep coach to me).

I called PLT line and they advised this is now an MD-11 not an A300 ( which I suspect is being refitted for LRTC) and 1-5 rows don't exist, J class is 2-3-2 from 6-15 excluding 8 which also doesn't exist so she suggested 9 with good legroom seeing as how there is no Row 8.

AA site has no pictures or seatmaps and the reservation system still shows a A-300 for the route.

Anyone have experience/comments on this plane? At first I thought she means a MD-80 and then she advised the MD-11 is huge like the old L1011.

Seatguru shows Delta's MD-11 with row 1 as the start point - is AA's similar?
