Air Canada Airbus A321XLR (32Q, 182 seats)
182 seats: 26 good, 6 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 1–7, seats A and F (Air Canada Signature Class): single suite with the window and the aisle to itself: no neighbour at all.
- Rows 19–20, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (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
- Row 18, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): directly in front of an overwing exit row, so recline is likely limited or blocked.
- Row 39, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): last row of Economy Class, with lavatories or a galley behind it: recline is likely limited and there is traffic and noise.
