I have an award trip (thank you, CSR sign-up bonus) for two people in Club World from Heathrow to Newark. If we do not pay for seats, are we unlikely to be able to sit together?
Does the quoted message mean that we could have transferred UR points to Avios and then booked this flight on AA and been able to reserve seats?
Thanks for help with the newbie questions.
If the plane gets very full, it's a possibility - but it's not going to happen tomorrow. Keep an eye on things from a month or so before you travel - you're hugely unlikely not to have a pair of seats then (though getting a specific pair, or guaranteeing a window pair rather than a middle pair will be more difficult). If you get down to a choice of only three pairs, or you specifically want to sit in part of the plane, pay - otherwise you've a reasonable chance of sitting together as long as you check in on the dot of T-24.
