Air Canada Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, economy class, Melbourne to Vancouver

Air Canada is increasing the number of flights on its Melbourne-Vancouver non-stop route.

Legroom is limited and I can, unfortunately, feel the passenger behind me digging his knees into the seat. This is a daytime flight so I’m glad I’m not attempting to sleep. A pillow and blanket are provided. Row 41 is a good spot – not too close to the toilets but close enough that it’s easy to pop down throughout the flight or to head to the rear galley to grab a bag of pretzels, a biscuit or just stretch your legs in the space. On the return leg I decide to stump up $C140 to secure an exit row.
