American Airlines offers several seating choices within the Main Cabin, including standard seats, Preferred Seats, and Main Cabin Extra. Availability and pricing can vary by flight and aircraft.
Preferred Seats are standard-legroom seats in more favorable locations within the Main Cabin. Main Cabin Extra provides additional legroom and is available on select American Airlines and American Eagle flights.
When booking an American Airlines flight, the seat map normally appears after you select your flights. If you cannot select a particular seat, American says some seats may be held back and become available closer to departure.
