Did you know you can chosse exit row by online check in?
« on: September 03, 2015, 09:57:57 AM »
FYI, ( this was prolly mentioned somewhere, oh well) I just checked in online for US Airways flight 433 (JFK-PHX) for tomorrow morning, I have 0 (no) status with US or AA, they wanted to charge $67 for any front seats, however for an Exit row.. Row 10 seat F (~4 feet of legroom) there was no charge, only had to click yes that I understand it's an exit row. There are draw backs to that seat, (see Seat Guru) however I'll take it anyways.

I never really checked in online before, but it may be worth it going forward.

Yes.
However I changed my Freq flyer # to AA using Finair.

Finair does not always work, it worked this time though

Just had the same experience with AC on a revenue flight.
