Trick to check America Airlines seat maps right before departure.

I found this neat AA app trick and wanted to share! Normally, about 45 minutes before your flight, the seat map disappears from your reservation on the app. But if you go into the booking section and act like you’re buying a new one-way ticket for the same route, you can still see your flight if it's not sold out and access the full seat map. Super handy if you're hoping to grab a better seat last minute.

I’ve used this twice now to scope out exit rows or a row to myself.
