The rep said that the flight goes to airport control at 24 hr (I could be wrong but I thought it was an hour before the flight when it goes to airport control?). The rep said they can't do anything and I would have to wait until I get to the airport to change seats.....seems ridiculous and the seats are disappearing!!!

Its the last leg of my trip that won't let me choose an available seat. Is this because it is technically more than 24 hours before the flight leaves? Or have I hit some bug?

Thanks for any input and suggestions!
Congrats on getting upgraded. Seat changes being controlled by the airport happens to me from time to time. It seems to happen on fuller flights and anyone at the airport can help you. I would try DMing the AA twitter team, they can work miracles.
