American Airlines now chooses to charge a fee to pick (assign) a seat for each leg of the trip. The rate will vary in cost and to me, there doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to the amount they are charging. In my case, I have 4 legs to my round trip flight. Two of the legs are $8 each, while one is $17 and one is $22.
I feel like I have had the ol' bate and switch pulled on me, like a used car salesman would do. Low low price of $1999 you can drive off the lot with a slightly used Ford Focus (processing fees $2999 & interest rate 24.9%)
Just tell me up front what I am going to pay for the flight and quit hiding it until later. I cant say I will never fly AA again, but I will do everything in my power not to!!
