<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote: AA are definitely still flying with the extra legroom in economy, at least on the MAN-MIA and ORD-MAN routes. I flew with them in February/March, and this was one of the reasons for booking AA. And a very nice flight it was too. On the ORD-MAN flight every single seat was full, so I guess they are doing something right!

AA announced(in very small print) that they would be phasing out their 'More Room Throughout Coach' seating. They started with some of their domestic flights and I checked with AA and all of their fleet(including on International routes) will have the reduced legroom by the end of 2005.

If you look on Seat Guru at the various aircraft that AA operate you will see this quote for the aircraft they operate between Man-Ord and Man-Mia(767-300).

<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote:American will be adding 8 additional seats onto these planes by June 2005, removing "More Room Throughout Coach" and reducing the seat pitch a few inches.[/quote]

How this will affect their sales is anyones guess. Regular travellers can get 'elite' status which enables them to select exit row seats, or upgrade using air-miles, so I suspect that they will still continue to fly AA if legroom is their criteria for chosing an airline.
