A couple of days ago, I extended a 24 hr. hold ticket. Rebooking went well, until selecting seats. I was hoping to keep the same seats, and usually that happens. This time AA was locked out. I called over the days, AAgents gave different answers.

JAL agent had the answer. The fare was the same, but the booking class was different. With a Q fare, you can get AA/JAL to select your seats (online no), but with an N fare, nope. N fares have to wait, and can book at AA.com, 72 hours before (we'll see if that works).

Anyway... learn something new everyday.

Thanks.
