We all arrived at the gate at the same time as the door was closing. We were all checked in but came in on a delayed flight. Woman at the gate said they had given all of our seats away but she only got/ or was willing to get ours back. We flew on dividend miles using our AA cc. Too much of a coincidence. She did say she would have to move people off the plane for them. But wasn't willing to do that. She only did it for us. Funny thing is all our luggage went on to BDL.
