Can I upgrade my seat after booking my flight?

Asked 5 months ago
Yes, it is possible to upgrade your seat after booking a flight with American Airlines UK. The options and processes for upgrading may vary depending on several factors, such as the type of fare you purchased, the availability of seats in a higher class, and the time remaining until your flight departs. You can generally upgrade your seat using the American Airlines website or mobile app by navigating to your booking. If there are available seats in premium economy or business class, you may see the option to upgrade at that time. Additionally, travelers with elite status or who have accrued frequent flyer miles may have access to upgrade options that are not available to all passengers. It is important to note that upgrade fees, if applicable, will depend on the route and type of upgrade being requested. For specific details related to your booking and potential upgrade options, it is advisable to refer to the relevant sections of the current American Airlines website, where you can obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information.
