it was in y (economy) but with free space seating when u pulled it up on elal online .
Same here, TLV-FCO & BCN-TLV
AA just called me that they mistakenly ticketed the LY flights in Y class, which allows seat selection, while it should have been in W and can’t select seats. They didn’t offer me to rebook direct (maybe because I’m not flying to JFK or MIA), just called to LMK that I’ll be losing my seat assignment.

Does that now give you a Premium economy seat?

They don’t have PE on those routes

That doesnt make much sense.

If they are giving you W class, then you are sitting in Premium.
If the aircraft doesn't have a premium cabin, then it's impossible for them to give you W class on that segment, it's non existent. Therefore you would be booked into 'Y' class instead.

And to clear this up - coincidentally, W class is a letter reserved for Premium cabin with both AA and LY, so there's no mixing up W to mean Economy.
Make stuff happen.

I agree, that’s what was weird about it.
I thought they were calling to switch me to nonstop as they had for others.

My customer had a flight TLV to JFK with connection in CDG in premium, however the LY flight to CDG had a delay & he missed the AA flight to JFK, he was given a DL flight instead but no premium. Is there anyway he can claim to get conpensated?

Is there anyway to know which reservations are being chosen for free changes? Currently scheduled on BA through London with 4 hour stop...any chance calling AA would help?

I asked why they wanted to change the reservation and was told due to the fare issues with booking. It would seem they would like to get them off partner flights.

Just flew this with 4pax and got a business upgrade as #3 on the list for 1 pax for 15k miles.
Always praying for delayed baggage.

Where have people been crediting these flights to?

With AA is a big nono since they are $$ based

So i by mistake left my AA in the record, ended up getting 100% mileage, plus 50% Cabin bonus on leg with W class, I had a segment in Y class which didn't get the 50% bonus bc it's economy...

Thankfully due to this I requalified for Status which I wouldn't have made...


I believe it went by mileage flown bc I switched to a different route due to schedule changes, and the system couldn't pick up the base fare (was issued in IL, so this is probable, VS If I issued in US)
