Article Abstract:
American Airlines Inc's decision to improve passenger comfort by adding more legroom on its aircrafts has been lauded by commuters. However, an analyst warns that the move could make it harder to book trips using frequent-flier awards. To add three to five inches more legroom, American Airlines will be taking out two rows of coach seats in each of its planes, which is equivalent to a total of 7,200 seats or 6.4% coach capacity.

Individuals wanting to use their frequent-flier mileage for dream vacations in summer 2000 are being forced to dole out more than the usual number of credit mileage in order to make the trip. This is due to the usual crush of travelers at this time of year despite the move by airline companies to offer additional seats to meet demands. Airline representatives as well as seasoned travelers advise frequent fliers to keep trying, be flexible, look to partner airlines and to try to book coach.
