We've documented 10 cabin configurations across 7 aircraft types that American Airlines' fleet flies. 2 of those aircraft types have more than one cabin layout in service at once — a genuine version lottery, not a one-off. We document every version we've found, not just the newest.
None of these are marked fully verified yet — treat the seat-level detail with a little more caution until they are. Built from 47 cited sources across the fleet, linked on each configuration's own page.
