The A321 aircraft, like a B737, are 3 x 3 seating in economy, BUT Airbus aircraft have wider seats (18 inch rather than 17), greater headroom ( for males very noticeable in the toilets) and wider aisles (you can actually squeeze passed a service cart). Legroom varies as required by the carrier with Air Transat stating 71-72 inchs which is the same as Air Canada mainline and greater than Air Canada Rouge. The absolute worst aircraft for long haul are a subset of Air Canada’s 777-300. They squeezed and extra seat across each row, installed slim line seats ( a nice way to say little to no padding), extra rows added so seat pitch now much tighter. Close to 100 more passengers and no more toilets, no more overhead bin space, and much more foul air. Used on 1 of the daily London trips, to Hong Kong, and 1 Toronto daily. Internally referred to as the “slave” or “galley” equipment. Your connection to Toronto or Montreal will be on Porter and they are awesome; no middle seats, free drinks/snacks/ wifi. Lots of legroom too. The trans Atlantic will either be a wide body A330 or narrow body A321. 330 very tight, 321 roomier and new.
