Understand Flight Availability at a Glance
| Say goodbye to complicated availability calculations. Travel Planner AA provides clear, visual indicators of seat availability. Using color-coded circles and squares, you can quickly assess your chances of getting on a flight. A green circle signifies good availability, an orange rounded square indicates moderate availability, and a red square denotes poor availability. This intuitive system allows for faster and more informed flight selection. |

Simplified Cabin Selection for Upgrades
| Choosing your preferred class of service is now more intuitive. When selecting your cabin, you’ll choose between “Main” and “Premium.” Premium encompasses the highest available class. For instance, on a three-class aircraft, selecting “Premium” will list you for either First or Business class, ensuring you aim for the best possible upgrade. |

Streamlined Round Trip Flight Searches
| Searching for round trip flights is now more efficient. Travel Planner AA presents departure and return segments on separate tabs above the search results. This eliminates the need to conduct individual searches for each leg of your journey, saving you time and effort. |
