American Airlines Sydney - Los Angeles Main Cabin

[becobi]

18Hi There
I am needing some advice on the best seat we should choose for our AA flights to Los Angeles in September - I am travelling with 2 adults and 2 children - we have seats in the Main Cabin Extra Section currently - Row 18 E, H and then 18 JK ... row 19 is available so we can book a 3 and then 1 ..... I'm just nervous that row 19 may not recline....

Any advice on this???

Thank

Hi becobi,

Welcome to AFF.

I have no personal experience with this. From looking at expert flyer and seat guru I cannot see any indication of a recline issue but I'm sure someone else with recent AA experience will be able to help you.

I spent some time looking into this recently. There is a very long thread on flyer talk here: Boeing 777-300ER - "77W" Best Economy and Main Cabin Extra / MCE seat (consolidated) - FlyerTalk Forums.

I believe row 19 has full recline, and a divider behind so you won't inconvenience those behind. I think the consensus is row 16 or 19 are the best in MCE. I picked row 19 for an upcoming flight, it's not till end of September though, so I'll keep an eye on this thread.
