My question: are the policies and perks for an award ticket more like "basic economy" or "main cabin" ? In particular, what are our seat selection options, and do we get any free checked bags ? I do not currently hold an AA-branded credit card. TIA.
AAward tickets are main cabin, so free standard seat selection and pay to check a bag
