On September 11 2001 in the First Class on American Airlines Flight 11 there were 2 Hijackers named Wail and Waleed Alshehri - according to the official story. Boston Globe has published a graphic with all passengers based on the passenger list. You can find the full graphic here.

 You can detect Wail and Waleed Alshehri in the first class on Seats 2A and 2B. There are totally 9 seats in the first class. Link

 According to a FBI document there were 7 No Shows in the first class. A "No Show" is a person who has made a reservation, booking, or appointment but neither keeps nor cancels it. The names of the No Shows were Cooper and Noris and the bookings were made on 9/11 at 4:00am. You can find it in this FBI document (Page 3). Here is the relevant section:

 

  

 

 The full list of the No Shows on American Flight 11 is here (Page 49).

7 Passengers have received an Upgrade for the first class just before the departure:  Carol Bouchard, Carol Flyzik, Laura Morabito, Renee Newell, Sonia Puopolo, David Retik und Richard Ross. FBI document (Page 105, 106)

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                       

In this FBI document is the list of canceled reservations. On Page 41 you can find actor Seth MacFarlane. He was the only one of the first class who had canceled:

His seat was in the first class on 3B and he canceled his  reservation on 6:34am on 9/11 morning.
As already mentioned the first class only has 9 seats. At 4:00am on 9/11 morning there was made 7 reservations in the first class by Noris and Cooper. At this time the seat 3B of Seth MacFarlane was still reserved by him. 

7 seats(Noris/Cooper) + 1 seat(MacFarlane) = 8 seats reserved at 4:00am. That means that only one seat was avaible for the Alshehris in the first class (with 9 seats totally). 

   

According to the official version, on 9/11 4:00am the first class reservations should have looked like this:

According to the FBI version it should have looked like this:

 Linda Emley of World Span:

"Emley also advised the names on the reservations could be changed by any AA ticket agent. This is not the normal practice but does happen from time to time" FBI document

 

That could mean that Cooper P. (2A) and Noris E. (2B) might have changed to Wail Alshehri (2A) and Waleed Alshehri (2B) by an AA ticket agent or another person with access to the booking system.

 

Therefore the seating arrangement could have looked like this:

According to the official version the Alshehris booked their first class tickets on 26 and 28 August 2001. This is not possible with the Noris/Cooper reservations made on 9/11 morning.

 

 

Remarkable:

WALEED ALSHEHRI checked one bag on American Airlines 11 to Los Anaeles. The bag tag was LAX AA 949811. It was checked by Boston 85D, I |at 0704 on September 11, 2001.
The bag was then canceled and not checked. FBI document (Page 12)

This bag was never presented as evidence by someone. Either Waleed Alshehri didn´t took his flight but only took his bag back and is still alive or he boarded on Flight 11 on seat 2B - (first) covered with the name Noris E..

 

By the way - there were 2 passengers connected from Portland with first class tickets for Flight 11 on 9/11. Their names were "Atta" and "Alomari". Gate agent Touhey:

"These guys paid big bucks, $2,400 in cash for first-class, one-way tickets connecting in Boston to Los Angeles." Link 

 

According to FBI and the official version Atta and Alomari had only business class tickets and their bags didn`t made it to Flight 11...

Conclusion:

 According to the FBI documents, the official story of the Alshehris in first class of Flight 11 cannot be true.
