American Airlines Boeing 777-200ER
Main Cabin layout

Note, seatguru’s seating charts are out of date and should be disregarded.
General information
The Main Cabin layout is standardised across the entire Boeing 777-200ER fleet, so economy seat assignments are protected in the event of an aircraft switching from type 1 to type 2 (or vice versa)
Main Cabin Extra:
Safran (formerly Weber) 5751 slimline seats configured 3-4-3 arranged with a 34" pitch; 9" screens.
In the seat plan the MCE seats are indicated with orange accents
Main Cabin:
Safran 5751 slimline seats configured 3-4-3 arranged with a 31" pitch; 9" screens.
In the seat plan these seats are indicated with red accents
Wifi:
Panasonic high speed satellite wifi
IFE:
Panasonic eX2 AVOD in-flight entertainment system with Live TV
Seat observations and recommendations
Row 17: the bulkhead partitions are raised on steel pedestals affording these seats additional foot space
20 DEGH: designated and sold as Main Cabin Extra but beware these seats do not offer additional leg room
Sister threads
As all AA 77Es share identical Main Cabin and MCE layouts, you can also check out the comments and recommendations posted in the https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...extra-mce.html thread

here's a video walkthrough of the plane to get an idea about some of your questions. It helped put me to ease regarding bulkhead seats (17 row) - I get them free via status but would probably pay 'up' if you really want the space. Remember the 17 row is narrower due to the fixed armrests, but my group is skinny and it's worth the tradeoff to not have someone reclining in my face the entire trip.
Have you called regarding a buy-up to PE? Give them a ring or check your app; American has started offering the option to me lately in-app. It isn't a deal but it's a lot easier.

Thanks for the reply, Guv! Agreed, I certainly would consider those at T24, but just can't see much value in them before hand. We will have to see if a PE buyup is available!

Did you ever call to see about a buy-up? I'm debating doing the same.

No, we are waiting to see if an offer is pushed our way at OLCI T24. That is the best strategy for getting a discounted offer on PE. I believe if you call before T24 you will just get a buy up to "full retail" price.

is there any discussion on this strategy that you'd be willing to share? I get the 'full retail' price pushed to me via the AA app, but would absolutely jump on a discounted upgrade rate, especially if it doesn't require me to burn miles.

This strategy means you would not know for certain of the possibility until within 24 hrs of departure. So, our plan is to get the best seats in main cabin that we would be satisfied with and then be happy if we get an up to PE. (We don't think MCE is necessarily worth it for a transatlantic hop, YMMV.) Plenty of reading in the thread below.

Are 17JL on the 772 designated crew rest seats now? They seem to be blocked or taken on every flight I check (and 17AC are open).

Which seats have missing or misaligned windows?
We'll be on AA235 from FCO-JFK in May with my husband who gets airsick if he can't see out a window 
. Can anyone offer info on which seats on the 777-200ER have missing or misaligned windows? I checked Seatguru and I'm not seeing any seat details in the hover-text on the seat map.
Gleaned from other posts:
Row 26 - No window
Row 18 - Misaligned window

MCE Seat 18J vs 19H
Which of these 2 seats would you choose when considering the pluses and minuses? My family is in 19 J, K & L so those are my 2 options to be near them. As of now, 18K is not booked but 18L is booked so maybe the seat next to 18J will be open? But I’m not sure how much more narrow the 18J seat will be vs 19H - enough that it negates all of the extra width that comes w a normal MCE seat? Are there footrests in 19H that I’d be missing out on with 18J? I’m only 5’8 but like the idea of being able to stretch my legs on an 8-9 hr flight from JFK-FCO. But I’m torn.
thanks!
thanks!

As there is now just one main cabin / MCE configuration for the 777-200ER, this thread is now defunct and is being replaced by a new thread here:
