Air Canada Airbus A330-300 (333, 297 seats)

297 seats: 27 good, 28 mixed, 11 to avoid

Best seats

  • Rows 1–8, 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 D, E and G (Premium Economy): first row of Premium Economy: nobody reclines into you, though the bulkhead in front means no under-seat bag space.
  • Row 13, seat A (Premium Economy): no seat in front: the map draws no seat 12A, so there is more room for your legs.
  • Row 13, seat C (Premium Economy): no seat in front: the map draws no seat 12C, so there is more room for your legs.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 31, seats D, E, F and G (Economy Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
  • Row 48, seats A, C, D, E, G, H and K (Economy Class): last row of Economy Class, with lavatories or a galley behind it: recline is likely limited and there is traffic and noise.
