Welcome to Air "Sardine" Can ada
With much fanfare, Air Canada recently launched its Premium Economy class, featuring wider seats, more legroom and better meals. Compared to the current economy class, the Premium Economy class seat pitch (legroom, space from one row to the next) is 6 inches farther and the seats are 1.5 inches wider.
Great!
What it doesn't tell you is for the regular cattle/ economy class, the seat pitch (legroom) will be 1 inch less and the seats 1.5 inches narrower than before.
As if people in the cattle class are not crammed enough already, now your fellow passengers are closer than ever to you!
I used to be such a fan of Air Canada, with the new seating, I probably would avoid Air Sardine Can ada as much as possible.
The current Air Canada Boeing 777-300 ER carries 349 passengers and the new seating arrangement would crowd 458 passengers together.
Honestly, I would prefer it if the airlines say due to higher costs, the cattle class air fares would increase by 25%, rather than cramming almost 30% more economy passengers into the same space.
Look closely at the above seating plan and you will realize the new configuration has 10 seats across, rather than 9 before.
