It is a step up from the seat maps in AA.com but the real meat and potatoes of cheap-o travel is the power of ExpertFlyer and the availbility of point and sticker upgrades. EF is worth every penny, not the $5 version either - you'll burn through 250 inquiries the first week as I have.
My first go at EF got me a YYZ-SCL trip in B (1.5 Q miles) upgraded with 20,000 miles vs. 50,000 and $500 copay for a whopping $1660 CDN ($1200 US) vs. Y2 for $2,560, or Y for $4190. Had to call AA to get it but it was there to quote to the rep on the phone. So US$99 a year for a saving of $1,000 CDN first try.
