AA seats on 32B website different when booking (to merge)
In advance, thanks for your help. I tried booking business with Milage on AA lax to new york on AA website. It shows the seats are two each row. I assumed they were pods since not 2 + 2 each row. Maybe i'm wrong.
So they show that two seat a row config when first "view seats" button when choosing a flight. But when i go to the next page to book the flight and check seats it shows 2+2 config.
The travel is for march of 2018. Maybe they are changing the planes by then? Anyone know what might be going on?
Again, I appreciate the help from this forum. Very knowledgable peeps here.

From a booking and flight schedule standpoint what customers see on aa.com is either 32B or 321. 32B indicates and LAA A321 with sharklets, where 321 indicates and LUS 321.

On the A321T, Business is 2+2 and that's what you say you are trying to book. If you want pods, you need to book FIRST and then it will be 1+1.

Here's the seatmap you want: https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Am...ightno=1&date=
Interestingly, I was looking at some fares for a few dates in October and there are several instances where first is cheaper than business on the route. Weird.

AA uses "32B" to define any Airbus A321-200 equipped with Sharklets wingtip devices, including:
A321T - three class transcontinental aircraft used JFK to/from LAX or SFO (see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...er-thread.html)
A321S - two class aircraft used in all but where the T model is used and
A321H - basically, a 321S with ETOPS certification used in Hawai'i service.
"321" indicates a legacy US Airways two class 'bus A321 without Sharklets.

This is an oft-discussed problem.
