Air Canada Airbus A320-200 (320, 168 seats)

168 seats: 12 good, 10 mixed, 12 to avoid

Best seats

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 37, 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.
