What does an American Airlines seating plan show?

If you know the type first, start from the aircraft index. Maps here are illustrative planning sketches. Confirm the aircraft and the live seat map with American Airlines before you pay for a row.
Are these official American Airlines seat maps?
No. Every drawing on this page is an original illustrative schematic. Pick Your Row is not affiliated with American Airlines, and these are not the official American Airlines seat maps.

How should I pick a seat on American Airlines?
Match a card above to the aircraft on your ticket, then read that seat map before you pay for a row. Extra space often sits at an exit or a bulkhead, and American Airlines sets the rules and the fee. A window or an aisle is a preference. Highlights on Pick Your Row are opinions for planning, not a seat the airline is holding for you. Browse every shortlist on the best seats page for American Airlines. One worked example is the American Airlines Airbus A321 best seats page. Scoring rules are in the methodology. The guide on how Pick Your Row scores work explains the heuristic.

These row numbers are illustrative and can differ by registration. Confirm them with American Airlines before you pay for an exit seat. The methodology page explains how these sketches are drawn.

How do I confirm my flight's aircraft before relying on a map?
Your ticket or the American Airlines app usually prints the aircraft type, and the assignment can still change before departure. Match that name to a card on this page, then open that seat map. Use the guide on how to verify your aircraft type. If American Airlines names an aircraft that is not drawn here, use the live airline map instead of a nearby type.
