Not yet confirmed against a primary source. Treat row-level detail as indicative and check at booking.
Air Canada publishes 297 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 288. Air Canada's own table gives this aircraft 32 Signature Class, 24 Premium Economy and 241 Economy — 297 in all. Signature Class and Premium Economy are drawn in full and match to the seat. Economy is drawn as Air Canada's own row range, 18 to 48, but the taper rows at 32 and 46-48 come out nine seats short of its 241, and Air Canada's drawing does not resolve which rows carry those nine. They are left off the map rather than added to a row nothing sources.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
Air Canada's own drawing of this aircraft does not letter the three middle seats in rows 46, 47 and 48, where the cabin narrows from four middle seats to three. We have left those nine seats off the map rather than guess their letters, so the map below shows 288 of the 297 seats Air Canada says this aircraft has. The nine are real and they are in the last three rows of the middle block. Air Canada letters the same narrowed block D, E and G on the other A330-300 cabin it flies, so that is very probably the answer here too — but it does not print it on this drawing, and we will not put a seat number on the page that the airline has not.
Our best current understanding, not yet confirmed against a primary source.
About this cabin
Air Canada's A330-300 in this configuration seats 288 (J/W/W/Y/Y/Y/Y). This is our best current estimate for this layout, built mainly from secondary sources — treat exact seat-by-seat detail with a little more caution than usual. Air Canada flies 2 different cabins on the A330-300 — this is one of them. This is a version lottery: the flight page will tell you which one you're actually booked on where we can determine it.
Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 3A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Travelling as a couple | 3D | This row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you. |
| Tall passengers | 18C | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Nervous flyers | 19C | Over the wing, close to the aircraft's structural centre of gravity — the smoothest ride on board when it's bumpy. |
| Trying to sleep | 3A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |
Seat map
Air Canada Signature Class (business class)
Air Canada Signature Class spans rows 1–8 in a 1-2-1 layout, 45in pitch and 20in seat width. Worth avoiding: 1D, 1G, 1A, 1K — next to galley.
Premium Economy
Premium Economy spans rows 12–15 in a 3-seat layout, 38in pitch and 19in seat width. Worth avoiding: 12D, 12G, 13C, 13D — next to lavatory.
Economy Class
Economy Class spans rows 18–48 in a 2-4-2 layout, 31in pitch and 18in seat width. Worth avoiding: 32C, 32H, 48C, 48H — seat doesn't recline.
The middle block of these three rows really does hold three seats — the fuselage narrows here — but Air Canada prints no letters for them on this drawing, and draws the block re-centred rather than truncated, so its position cannot say which three. Rather than guess nine seat numbers the airline has not published, the middle positions are left empty and the missing nine are explained in plain words at the top of this page.

Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 1D | Air Canada Signature Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 1G | Air Canada Signature Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 1A | Air Canada Signature Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 1K | Air Canada Signature Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 12D | Premium Economy | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 12G | Premium Economy | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 13C | Premium Economy | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 13D | Premium Economy | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 32C | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 32H | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 48C | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 48H | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (15 seats: 15A, 15C, 15D, and 12 more) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
- Often cold or draughty (18 seats: 1A, 1K, 2A, and 15 more) — Seats next to a bulkhead or door on a long-haul widebody are usually the coldest in the cabin — bring a layer for this one.
- High foot traffic (28 seats: 1D, 1G, 2D, and 25 more) — This aisle seat sits right next to a lavatory, galley or exit, so expect a steady stream of people brushing past, especially early and late in the flight.
- No underseat storage (30 seats: 1A, 1D, 1G, and 27 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.
- Wing blocks the view (26 seats: 19A, 19K, 20A, and 23 more) — The wing sits directly outside this window, blocking most of the view — but you also get one of the smoothest, quietest rides on the aircraft.
Frequently asked
- How many seats does Air Canada's A330-300 have in this configuration?
- 288 seats in total, arranged as J/W/W/Y/Y/Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — Air Canada's fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.
- Is this the only cabin layout Air Canada flies on the A330-300?
- No — Air Canada flies 2 different cabin layouts on the A330-300 for this one. Check your specific flight's aircraft registration where possible, since booking the same route twice can put you on a different layout.
- Which seats should I avoid?
- Seat 1D in Air Canada Signature Class is worth avoiding: A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. The full seat map marks every seat we'd steer you away from, with the specific reason for each.
- How confident are you in this seat map?
- This configuration is marked "provisional" — assembled from secondary sources and not yet confirmed against a primary one. See the sources and last-verified date lower on this page.
- Has a real person checked these individual seat scores?
- Not yet for this specific configuration. The scores above come from our rules engine, which reasons from real aircraft geometry, but they aren't marked as human-verified until someone has actually reviewed the unusual ones — see the verification section below for the current status.
