1. can this be done online? If so, is there a specific name/format we should enter for the third 'passenger'...? Or do we need to call in to reservations?
2. What should we know in terms of checking in, showing a boarding pass, etc.?
3. If they change the flight/equipment and we end up on something with 2 seats would we be able/likely to get a refund or anything? We're planning to book in basic economy so I think I can guess that one...
4. Anything else to consider?
Thanks so much!
from the TPG site:
American Airlines
American Airlines permits customers to book a second seat for a musical instrument because they require -- or simply want -- the additional space.
To book two seats, the customer must call reservations directly. According to an American Airlines spokesperson, the second seat must be purchased at the same fare and in the same fare class as the first seat. You can
redeem AAdvantage miles for the second seat, but again, only if you redeem miles for both seats in the same fare class. Unfortunately, miles cannot be earned on the additional seat purchase even if you pay cash. Additionally, if you desire a second seat, it must be booked for the full itinerary -- not just one segment.
