I fly IAH-SEA, the premium seats costs $69 each direction if I pay for the main cabin fare. Has AS published any information on the subject. I haven't been able to find it on their website.

I can say that at least for saver fares, you certainly won't be able to select premium class seats for free. They are available for purchase, however. This is the case with AS elites as well.
