From 11 July, Air Canada passengers will have access to the Privilege Economy cabin on flights between Paris and Montreal. Following in the footsteps of other industry players, the Canadian carrier has just launched a premium economy class, the Privilege Economy cabin, in addition to Economy and Suite Executive First business classes.
First offered on flights from Paris and already on sale, and then on other international routes as new aircraft are added to the fleet, the cabin will offer a number of advantages: wider seats, a higher recline, 17.8 cm more legroom compared with Economy, and all seats close to the aisle thanks to a 2-4-2 configuration. Passengers will also benefit from a top-of-the-range meal service and free drinks, as well as priority check-in and baggage delivery at the airport.
This launch is part of the Canadian airline's policy of expanding and modernising its international fleet. Air Canada will be increasing its fleet of wide-body aircraft operating on the international network by adding five new B777-300ERs, the first to be equipped with the new Privilege Economy cabin, before the arrival of the B787s, scheduled for delivery in 2014.
