I just did AA reservation but did not find that PNR, only AA record locator which could not lead me anywhere.
However, during booking as I entered my AY Plat nr, I could select main cabin extra for free on the AA legs, but no seat selection whatsoever on the AY trans-atlantic legs. Then, when the ticket was booked, it showed the AY legs were auto-assigned comfort seats 21A and 23L ^ so no need to call AY
