Business seats are individual pods that recline to lie-flat, with the window seats A and K on their own and the D and F pairs in the centre. Premium has 38 in of pitch and 7 in of recline. Extended Comfort fills rows 9 to 14 and the centre of rows 15 and 16 with 35 in of pitch. Rows 15 to 25 are Preferred Economy and rows 26 to 40 Standard Economy, both with 31 in of pitch. WestJet's list puts row 40 at ABC DEF HJK; its drawing shows only 40D to 40F, which matches the 276 Economy seats it states, so this page follows the drawing. Every seat has a seatback screen and power.
