[edit] Extra Seat
AA's extra seat policy is posted on Agency Reference at http://www.aa.com/content/agency/Travel_Experience/seats_index.jhtml#seat.
As of 10JUN09 (Updated June 16, 2005) it reads:
Extra/Additional Seats - One Passenger
- A passenger may book additional adjacent seats.
- If a passenger qualifies for an electronic ticket for the first seat, the second seat may also be an electronic ticket.
- The applicable adult fare, minus any Passenger Facilities Charges (PFCs), applies to the extra seat.
- The ticket designator SEAT may be applied to deduct PFC charges. Contact AA Tariff for pricing questions or if pricing using the SEAT designator is unsupported by the GDS.
- Baggage policy applies to passenger ticket only.
- AAdvantage Free Awards (PlanAAhead or AAnytime) - passenger is allowed to claim two awards if travel is wholly on AA.
- AAdvantage Upgrades - passenger may not use AAdvantage upgrades for a purchased extra seat.
- Extra seats cannot be purchased for a pet.
- For multiple extra seats, please contact AA Reservations or AA Sales Support.
The PNR name field must be completed as follows. An OSI message must be added to the PNR. Failure to follow policy may result in a debit memo and/or the cancellation of the extra seat by flight firming automation.

[edit] Using AA.com
You can start the process on AA.com using XTRA SEAT as the first name of the extra seat, put the reservation on hold, and call web services to get the OSI comment and for pricing the extra seat with the proper ticket designator /SEAT; the extra cost will be up to $18 less (domestically) than the ticket for a person due to some less taxes/fees. By starting the process on AA.com you also avoid the pesky telephone reservation fees.
