A couple of months ago, my wife and I flew from DFW to LAX on American Airlines. We made our seat assignments via the internet more than a month before the flight. When we got to the airport, we were told they changed our seat assignments and put us in seats not even close to each other. I could understand this if they had to change equipment (planes) or something, but they didn't change equipment or anything. When I explained that we already had our seat assignments and I wanted to sit in those seats, they said when you reserve a seat, it is only a request and they can change it whenever they want to. Have you guys ever heard this before? Does this sound right? I'm flying again in a couple of weeks and would like to know if we can expect to have our seat assignments changed again. Thanks for shedding any light on this subject for me.
