Have a AA which I booked for a one way some time next week and won't be able to take the flight.
 What's my best bet? Try to go for a refund? Or just push it off till I need the flight next?
How can you get a refund? I have a AA flight that I overpaid with $62, same similar flight I can get now with Delta for $62 less

When purchasing a flight with UR reserve does it have the same benefits as if I purchased and paid with my sapphire reserve card? (flight delay etc.)

Award flight? Push it off. You are allowed  to change awards for free so long as your origin and destination remain the same. That means you can alter your travel dates, routing and more without having to pay extra. Within a year, however.

Baby ticket booked with middle name. Passport only has first name. International flight. As far as I understand, it's fine? Baby can have additional name on the ticket that's not on the passport?

As long as the ticket also has the first name, you'll be fine.

Does this work with all airlines, or only AA ?

Never mind, here is the info from AT (just reg seats with a blocker):
The Club Class on our Boeing 737 on domestic route is different from the one on our transatlantic flights.
Wider seats are not available on these flights but passengers will benefit from extra space, since the middle seat of each row will be empty and replaced bu a seat blocker table.
However you still get the other Club Class benefits such as;
- Complimentary seat selection
- Generous baggage allowance of 40 kilos for checked baggage and 15 kilos for carry-on
- Exclusive , rapid check-in counter
- Priority queue at select airports security checkpoints
- Priority boarding and baggage delivery
- Water bottle at seat
- Ear buds and other amenities
- Newspapers and wet-naps
- Beverage service including wine and beer
- Cheese crisps
- Gourmet meal (3 hours) or snack (less than 3 hours) depending on the duration of the flight.

I just booked a ticket on BA in business and they want to charge me $95 for seat selection. Is that the standard practice for BA?

Or wait until 24 hours before check in. Been that way for at least 2 years.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
