Is this fare at all bookable? How can I get it booked? US Airways cant find it..

Maybe try calling AA. US agents are usually VERY incompetent.

So what's so bad about that?

Wait - you mean even regular economy seats cost money now?! Not just "premium" seats?!

Basically you select a seat, then you have to issue an EMD against it.

Haven't tried it yet, but here's the format:

View available Economy Plus seats via standard 4G entry; e.g., 4G1*

· A banner is displayed providing Economy Plus seat fee information

· Hover-overs in Sabre’s Graphical Seat Map showing individual Economy Plus seat fees

· Select / Book by clicking on the seat on the Graphical Seat Maps or making the standard 4G1/ seat

request entry; e.g., 4G1/6C

· The AE field is automatically added to the PNR and can be viewed with *AE and *AES

· Once status code is updated to reflect HD1/PAYMENT REQUIRED. Be aware of the PURCHASE

BY date/time in the *AES

· Ensure air ticket has been issued

· Status of the AE seat item must be HD (confirmed, pending payment)

 

-Entry to drive payment of a Economy Plus seat

 If using same credit card as used for air ticket, enter W¥EMD*AEn (where n is the Air Extra ítem number)

 

-If using a new credit card for payment of Air Extra W¥EMD*AEn (where n is the Air Extra ítem number to fulfill) ¥F*VI4444333322221111/1216

I apologize if this is a stupid question, but do you need plates to issue an EMD?

Thanks. Spreaking of which, is there a way to see that report from ARC, not Sabre?

Didn't even realize they report to ARC if I don't have an ARC number, until Amadeus told me my Sabre numbers when I applied
