American Airlines launched a website on Monday giving
corporate travelers access to economy cabin Preferred Seats at no charge
regardless of status. As BTN revealed
in May, the website enables corporate travelers to reserve window and aisle
seats usually set aside for frequent travelers. On the new site, a traveler
enters his or her passenger name record and last name prior to confirming the
seats. The benefit applies to Preferred Seats, which offer standard economy
legroom, but not to American's Main Cabin Extra seats, which have additional
legroom and pitch.
