Of course, if you prefer an aircraft with 2 x 2 seating, you could book JetBlue on this route.

Did you have any elite status with AAdvantage?
Thanks! We actually prefer the A319 larger configuration over the regional option, but good thought to keep in mind re: the full refund Edit to add: Going in for a same day wedding, so trying to balance sleeping in as much as possible, arrival time, and preferred airport/equipment.

Gold status for the next few months, curious if (but doubting whether) that would have done anything for me here.

Haha thanks. It already took 20+ minutes of hold time to book the extra seat once I'd reached the agent, and I wasn't really thinking about asking some of the logistical Qs I should have

Appreciate the assist, I'm sure/hoping it won't be an issue while traveling; will be "fun" to see if my third seat gets Pre-Check lol.

Thanks.
