I'm Gold on AA but my husband and I want to go to Edinburgh in October and (a) AA is $200/person more, (b) on CO we can take MCI-EWR-EDI, where AA is MCI-ORD-LHR-EDI and I HATE transfering in LHR and (c) I'll fly enough to keep Gold on AA this year and probably don't have a prayer of making Platinum, so EQMs aren't a consideration.

My question: the few times I've flown CO domestically on business this year, aisle seats are shown as "Premium". I don't care- I like the window anyway- but my husband is long and tall and really needs an aisle seat. Even better- are CO's transatlantic flights configured with 2 seats on one side so he gets an aisle, I get a window and we're both happy? I don't know what seating non-Elites can get on CO. Thanks.
