These seats felt more claustrophobic than the SWISS seats and had less room to walk around. Every seat was equipped with USB and universal power ports, personal AVOD entertainment and a reading light.Īccording to Seat Guru, seat 6K is 22.5 inches wide and offers 75 inches of pitch but it definitely felt a lot smaller and more cramped than that. I was able to snag seat 6K on the right side of the plane.

The single seats offered the most privacy and space for solo travelers and every single seat had direct aisle access. Instead of having a seatmate, the single seats had large tables to the right and left sides of the seat. For a rundown of the different Air Canada business class configurations, you can read my analysis here.īecause I was traveling by myself, I wanted to grab one of the single “throne” seats. The SWISS business class cabin also felt less cramped and the food and service were significantly better as well.Īir Canada actually has four different configurations for their long haul business class cabins. Though the seats were similar, they were not identical as I think the SWISS seats offered a bit more space and privacy. Having already flown on SWISS’ business class from Zurich to Los Angeles, I was already familiar with this product.

These seats are similar to the business class seats that you will find on Austrian, Brussels, Finnair and SWISS. This Boeing 777-300ER was equipped with Air Canada’s new “Studio Pod” International Business Class seats. I made my way down the jet bridge, presented my ticket to the flight attendant and was directed to my seat, 6K, on the right side of the plane.

At approximately 12:45 PM, boarding was called for Air Canada business class and Star Alliance Gold passengers. Because it was only a 10 second stroll to the gate, I walked up to the gate a few minutes before boarding time to snap a couple pictures of the bird and people watch before boarding was called. Both the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge and the boarding gate for AC871 were located at gate 39.
