16 Routes: Where Air Canada Flies Its Very High Capacity 450-Seat Boeing 777s

- Much attention is given to aircraft jam-packed with premium seats. But what about large aircraft crammed with economy seats? Cebu Pacific crams in 459 seats on its A330-900s, while several a350 operators have tight economy classes with 10-abreast seating. Staying on this theme, we have Air Canada's 450-seat Boeing 777-300ERs. Some operators fit even more seats in their 777s as some have over 500.

I’m going to Athens from Toronto next week and I’m happy I’m not on this flight
fares are probably reasonable
Bet the crew hate working these high density aircraft. Imagine dishing out 450 meals .
It is also frustrating that there is no galley or crossover area at the 4th set of doors. (Like on the 400-seat configured 777-300)
They typically don't! Food for purchase (on domestic and north american routes at least)
@@user-tq8rn5tw9pbruh they fly the 77W almost exclusively on international flights. Did you even watch the video?
Just took this flight from Montreal to Calgary... Thank God was in business class.
showing off ha
1 toilet per 70 seats!
imagine if they served indian food and everyone has to poo. last guy has to wait atleast 3 hours
@@blip-hn6is best not imagine.
@@blip-hn6is Probably for their india routes yeah but none of them have the 777-300er, usually served on the 787 or 777-200lr
there is clearly 10 toilets. 450 passengers means 1 toilet per 45.
@@JakeHills-q6c for economy passenger
Flying on these planes 3 times out of 4 in the next few months. You sent chills down my spine! Praying for myself!
Good luck! you'll need it.
Wow, what's the seat pitch? Anybody over 175cm won't fit.
It's one of the longest planes in the world. They'll fit just fine
@@davidkavanagh189Illogical take
My son in law is 6’4” and has to book premium economy bulkhead
@@Louisguertin That's rather tall so makes sense
Simple flying is the best aviation news source by far
I’ve flown on these 3 times, once Vancouver to Toronto, and Toronto to Cancún and back. On the shorter flights like that it’s really not bad at all. Most people flying the leisure routes are checking bags so there was no major issues with overhead bins. All 3 times I sat in the last 3 rows where it’s just 2-4-2 and there were never huge lines for the lavs nor did it take that long to deplane, max 10 minutes maybe
Flew with them on their 777 from London to Toronto last week and it was alright but definitely crammed
I did Toronto to London on 777, the boarding process seemed to take forever, once seated, it seemed fine (typical). Surprisingly the time took to leave the plane upon arrival seemed pretty fast.
My AC aFlight Attendant friends have nicknamed this version "The Pig". Pretty acurate!
3-4-3 configuration is actually for B747 or A380. However this kinda setting has became so popular, just after so many quadjets has retired.
No bin spaces for Carry-On bags. -> force check bags at the gate -> over crowded bag carrousel at arrival.
You don’t mention the Pearson-Haneda flight
It's about time the regulator setps in and clean this mess. 70 seats per toilet is totally unacceptable and there are very well documented health risk associated with long cattle class like flight.
So you love higher ticket prices…?
@@peeticek1624Your mental and physical health is priceless.
@@peeticek1624 yes, 5$ more would be fine , multiplied by 300
There is clearly 1 toilet per 45. Do the math.
@@silentsword4104I don't mind
I fly to Japan regularly. I wouldn’t survive in economy. Because I know at least six months in advance, I get premium economy for about $500 more per round trip. Well worth the extra.
Flew on one from Toronto to Frankfurt and it was pretty tight in economy
Vancouver to Toronto has Boeing 777-300ER
Indigo laughing in the corner with 500 + seats on their 777 😂
ANA 77W left the chat
I think eventually it would be best for AC to replace them with the 777X. While the lighter configured -300ER's could be replaced by the -8, I think passengers in economy would have more space if these ones were replaced by the -9.
Cyul to bcn on that 777 was just fine. People seriously are just being hysterical
Air Atlanta Europe (operating for Saudia) fits 478Y+ only 14J on their B777-300 ERs, make it 492 seats in total
I just flew on the 777-300er to Vancouver
I sat in C-FNNQ back in February 2019 from LHR-YYZ. It wasn’t a full flight, and the crew actually had to stop passengers from seating in vacate seating in Premium Economy seats. Now I don’t know if this high density configuration was in place with Air Canada 777-300ER with 398 economy seats. Don’t think long haul would be very comfortable.
Would be intriguing to know why they use these dense configurations on these specific routes
i just flew the Toronto to Rome flight on one of these yesterday
AC has several 777-300ER based out of Vancouver that fly to Asia, although I wouldn’t know if those are only the lower capacity layout
Baggage claim will be packed!
In most cases, you're better off flying with Air Canada's competitors. The only exception would be AC A220 flights within North America. Can't beat that airplane.
Inhumane !
Lower ticket prices are inhumane? :)
@@peeticek1624Squid game is considered inhumane even though the sole survivor wins millions of dollars.
@@peeticek1624there isn’t lower ticket prices, the prices remain the same, they’re just able to sell more seats…
Passengers call this the “Slave Ship”😂
the ac 777 slave ship special
I fly with them to Asia Tokyo usually, it’s not the best airline , delays is common , not professional service by some flight attending,,
which carriers have 500-seat 777s? JAL and ANA maybe?
They gonna get retired soon.
IndiGo
ANA has 200 seats on their 777-300ER 😂
i wonder how the leg room be like
I hate these planes so much especially when they use them Trans Canada
This nickname by Av crew is slave ship 1 coffeemaker. For economy no storage space. Please forgive the name it is not mine for this high density aircraft
Sardine packed hellride
Most DISGUSTINGLY UNCOMFORTABLE aircraft to fly in economy with 10 abreast and 29" legroom. Not even emergency exit seats are bearable. Pure utter torture!
Who wants to play sardine?
Kinda wonder Canadian customers are willing to cross the 49th Parallel and fly out of US airports to avoid flying on these aircraft.
No. I would not like to be that cramped in economy for that long.
VCB
They are one of the worst aircraft seats, I think the next that comes close to this are the AirTransat A330-200s. Just horrible. So tight. I feel these were designed for mannequins and not humans.
If I have to fly AC it will be C Class. If I can find another company departing from mtl I’ll choose Qatar or Turkish. Better in comfort, service also cheaper then flying AC.
Boycott Qatar
@@thecaynuckwhy?
Nothing but greed!
Air Canada is really cramming in people for economy class which is not great.
Yall acting like air canada is thr worst airline in North America
Dude flair is even worst
@@VROMVRO Does Flair still exist?
Just purely corporate greed wreaking its havoc all over the places.
flew these before, typical greedy overpaid CEO and management burns up the cash with their salary then ask for government help whenever they "struggle". they made sure the Business class seats are well so all the TH-cam reviewers who primarily take Business say good things about them. Almost all regular Canadians know how garbage AC really is. I have seen flight attendants on these flights struggle to manage passengers, needing to mad rush back to their seats 10seconds before landing while still having some grandma with some kid in the lavatory unwilling to come out during the whole landing sequence. Westjet used to be better, now is the same or even worst.
If it was made by Boeing, NO THANK YOU!
I hope they won’t be flying at all
And Canadian pilots aren’t compensated for that many seats
Lowest paid widebody pilots in the world…
Your channel seems unnecessarily harsh on AC, but that’s just my opinion.
Cramped
No Thanks !
some body call these 773 slave ship
Will never fly Air Canada.
Boomer
Avoid Air Canada at all cost !
Boomer
Because they need that many seats to carry those Indians from Delhi.
But Air Canada doesn't use the 777-300ER to Delhi (not direct anyway).
