Now the AA website cannot assign seats, and the JL site says "No Seat selection for this flight".
How do I get seats assigned for AA Codeshares on JL? Or does JL only allow seat selection if you book with them?
For AA*/JL flights, you have to call AA to get seat assignment. JL has a strict policy (unlike most other airlines I know of) to not help reserve seat when marketing carrier is not JL.
