The Air Canada Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carries 255 passengers across Business + Premium Economy + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. Seats are rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 1K, 2A, 2K, 3A, 3K, 4A. Another 50 seats are rated best or good. Look for 25 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 19E, 28C, 28D, 28E, 28G, 28H. Another 45 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Nine-across Economy on the 787-8 gives seat widths of around 17 to 18 inches — wider than the ten-across layout on Air Canada's 777s. The Dreamliner's larger windows and higher cabin pressure also reduce the fatigue typical of long flights on older widebodies.
Premium Economy on the 787-8 uses an asymmetric seven-across layout — the outer sections differ slightly from side to side. The best seats are in the outer two-seat sections on each side, giving you a window and only one neighbour. Avoid the sole middle section if travelling solo.
Yes — Air Canada's Signature Class on the 787-8 is fully lie-flat in a one-two-one reverse-herringbone layout. Every seat has direct aisle access without climbing over a neighbour. Window seats in the outer columns suit solo travellers who prefer maximum privacy.
