It's BS.
Vast majority of those dates JFK-CDG are OpenSkies.
He should have search AA only.

There is a significant amount of AA availability, though. I booked Dec 23 a few days ago and noticed that.

Q: Do I do NS in the 767 or connect in MIA for the 777?

777 in J isn't lie-flat.

Also beware the 757s from JFK that aren't lie-flat.

-1. The new 772 (the one scheduled on the date I'm flying) is lie flat.

Seatguru is horribly inaccurate.
The only way to tell is to check the seatmap on AA.com

I find EF (which I think officially pulls from SG) to be very accurate

Not such a heavy flyer, but so far I've always found them accurate.

A330 ain't the catch. Not uncommon to see 2 seats there.

J on the a380 is the same J as the a350 and 787.

"at least"? EY site shows exact amount of seats.
