That's a great result, they've just told me there's nothing that can be done unless I pay 😐

We’ve never flown with AA before and booked via a BA flydrive on price. Getting free seat choice was a bonus but sounds like they have really dialled down which seats can actually be booked for free.
On our flight it looks like almost all aisle seats have a hefty booking fee and that effectively prevents booking any more than 2 seats together.
We’ve managed to get pairs in the same part of the cabin for our family of 6. Not great but it will do, and we may get a chance to improve on it at check in.
