booked a flight to the Carribean in October, paid for 4 J seats.

As expected, they changed the plane from a 763 to 757 and screwed up our seating.

Called AAgent [my acct reservation only shows my seat confirmed, mother and kids seats are listed as 5G 6G 6J (which don't exist) ]

She explained that since the merger, the flight is overbooked and offered to fly me out confirmed w 4 seats together on J the next day.

Now, I asked for clarification....we really cnat fly out the next day. IF we stay w our original flight and check in, either online OR at the airport, exactly 24 hours prior to the flight, we will then be confirmed on our original flight and she advised yes.

But Im not clear here.... if only Im confirmed in J, and will my family still get a seat on the flight , but in coach?
