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.
Etihad Airways Boeing 777-300ER (3-class, 336 seats)
336 seats: 19 good, 29 mixed, 26 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seat A (First): first at the very front: four seats a row, two rows.
- Row 2, seats A and K (First): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 5, seat A (Business): business window seat in the small front section of four rows.
- Row 9, seat A (Business): business window seat in the middle of the larger section, away from galleys and toilets.
Seats to avoid
- Row 6, seats C, D, G and H (Business): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 17, seat D (Economy): in front of the toilets in the middle, so recline is likely limited.
- Row 17, seats E, F and G (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
- Row 30, seats A, B, C, H, J and K (Economy): backs onto a toilet, galley or wall as Etihad draws it, so recline is likely limited
