How To Determine Ticket Type
I booked an AA flight on Amex travel. The fare on AA.com for the outbound was $205 in basic economy and $232 in main cabin, and the return was $231 in main cabin (BE not available). The fare I paid was $437. Allowing for rounding, that's $205+231. However, I was able to select seats on the outbound, which you can't usually do with PE.
Still I'm concerned, because I definitely need the 100% EQM's for the outbound.
How can I tell from my data on AA.com whether it's a BE ticket or not?

I wonder if this could be some rare case where you actually get a better fare through Amex than on the AA site.
I will have another issue on this trip, which is the close connection time and the fact that the A330 (last time I took it) parked some distance from the terminal and you had to be bused to the main buildings. However I'm in row 6 which means I should be able to get off fairly quickly. I think they deplane F first, but I'll be right behind that, and if I tell the FA I have a tight connection they'll probably let me scoot out.

It shows as "O". I always thought O was an award booking code.
