Air Canada Boeing 777-300ER (77W, 450 seats)

450 seats: 50 good, 32 mixed, 12 to avoid

Best seats

  • Rows 1–7, seats A and K (Air Canada Signature Class): window seat in Air Canada Signature Class, angled toward the window with its own aisle access: the most private seat in the cabin.
  • Row 12, seats A, C, H and K (Premium Economy): first row of Premium Economy: nobody reclines into you, though the bulkhead in front means no under-seat bag space.
  • Row 12, seats D, E, F and G (Premium Economy): first row of Premium Economy: nobody reclines into you, though the bulkhead in front means no under-seat bag space and the bassinet position may seat a baby here.
  • Rows 31 and 50, seats A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J and K (Economy Class): exit row on Air Canada's table: extra legroom. You must be willing and able to help in an emergency, and bags go overhead for take-off and landing.

Seats to avoid

  • Rows 29 and 45, seats D, E, F and G (Economy Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
  • Row 63, seats D, E, F and G (Economy Class): last row of Economy Class, with lavatories or a galley behind it: recline is likely limited and there is traffic and noise.

  • Row 15, seat A (Business Class): front row of Business by the window, with its own aisle access.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 32, seats D and H (Guest Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
  • Row 32, seat E (Guest Class): in front of the mid-cabin toilets, so recline is likely limited.
