Are non-refundable if you change your seat assignment on the same flight to a lower priced or free seat.
American Airlines reserves the right to assign or reassign a Main Cabin Extra or a Preferred seat at any time for operational, safety or security reasons. In situations where this occurs and you're not reseated into a like seat you will be eligible for a refund.
If American cancels your flight, causes you to miss a connection or if you're denied boarding on an oversold flight and we are unable to seat you in a like seat on your rescheduled flight, you're eligible for a refund.

Purchases reserve a seat within the Main Cabin area. While every attempt is made to fulfill a specific seat, seat assignments are not guaranteed.

American expressly reserves the right in its absolute discretion to discontinue the sale of paid seats at any time or to refuse to sell a paid seat to any specific passenger, or if sold to cancel a paid seat and refund the purchase price. American will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by a purchaser resulting from such refusal, cancellation, or denial. Paid seats prices, offers, rules and benefits are subject to change without notice.
