What happens when they go online? Have they tried HUCA?

They’ve tried on a tablet, I’ve tried on my phone with the AA app and desktop browser and nothing works. I didnt call AA a 2nd time, I’ll call tomorrow

If the flight is under airport control they won’t be able to select seats. They *may* be able to select seats when doing online check-in.
Totally normal for the seatmap to be under airport control eventually, a bit unusual that it happened so far out, but it’s not super weird or something I’d be concerned about.

Thanks! They arent able to select seats at check in so they’re just going to get it done at LHR.
