400 seats: 52 good, 40 mixed, 23 to avoid

Best seats

  • Rows 1–7 and 9–11, 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.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 23, seats B, C, D, E, F, G, H and J (Economy Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
