Which OW status gives free maincabin on AA?
Hello all,
I hope to be posting in the right place, and thanks for reading this.
My subject says it all. Which OW status allows to get free maincabins on AA flights (domestic, Caribbeans, etc)?
Or is that only possible for AA Platinums?
Thank you!!

I don't understand, are you asking if there is a OW status level that allows you to fly for free on AA? If that's what you are asking, I cannot imagine there is any such status level.

Thx Trooper, and sorry, yes it is the better seats in couch, which as a Platinum I get for free. Good to know OW Sapphire gets them, too as I will probably switch to AY, BA or IB.

In the oneworld world, AY offers a similar concept on their widebodies. It's called Economy Comfort and can be assigned free for AY Platinums and OWE (OWE needs to call AY to have seats assigned).
