You can call AA to find out what seats are available, then call CX to request that particular seat on CX7565 since CX cannot display the seat map. But they may request for a particular seat without displaying the seat map.
3. If all else fails, do a generic seat request - ie window or aisle through CX.
By the way, if you're hoping to use AA 'stickers' to upgrade the ORD-LAX flight to F class, well you can't as it's a CX flight and not on AA document anymore.
Thanks a lot. Now I got some idea.
1) I called CX reservation to book this flight. Not regular TA. I called CX twice. They said that I can not pick seat on AA flight. They did ask me to call AA.
2) I will try calling CX again about this.
3) Maybe this is a good idea.
I really don't see why you couldn't have booked ORD-LAX on AA, it would have been so much easier overall.
As an AA Plat anyway, once ticketing is done, you may also get seat assignment on CX flights.
I should book ORD-LAX on AA instead of CX codeshare. This is my first time and this will be the last time. By the way, even the last segment is on AA flight number, per AA, I still can not pick a seat. Even I intend to pay $5 seat assignment fee. AA agent said she can not touch the PNR. Not even seat.
I did have all CX segment seat assigned^
