Do you find yourself looking for a little extra space when you fly? Well, look no further. When you travel on any flight operated by Air Canada or Jazz, you now have the option of selecting a Preferred seat, which offers more in-flight legroom.
Preferred seats are mainly located in exit rows and can be purchased, subject to availability, when you book your flight at aircanada.com, or at any other time prior to check-in. You can also purchase a Preferred seat by contacting Air Canada Reservations.

Preferred seat selection is complimentary for
- Air Canada Super Elite members – with a Tango Plus or Latitude fare;
- Air Canada Elite members and Star Alliance Gold members with other airlines - with a Latitude fare.
If you're an Air Canada Super Elite or Elite member, or a Star Alliance Gold member with another airline, and you are eligible for complimentary Preferred seat selection, your travel companion(s) also enjoy complimentary Preferred seat selection provided you are all under the same booking reference.
Please Note: Seat selection, including Preferred seating, is not offered for codeshare flights or flights operated by another airline.
Refundability
- You are not seated in your originally selected Preferred seat because of an involuntary schedule or airport change (e.g. flight disruption, cancellation), or because Air Canada moves you from an emergency exit row seat prior to boarding or during the flight;
- You have a confirmed upgrade to Executive Class or Executive First prior to flight check-in;
- You cancel your itinerary, or voluntarily change to a different flight or fare family and Preferred seat selection becomes complimentary on your new itinerary.
No partial refund will be issued if, at any time before your flight, you change your itinerary or your seat selection in a way that results in a lower Preferred seat charge, or you have purchased a Tango fare and choose to change your seat selection from a Preferred seat to a standard seat.
Important: Air Canada reserves the right to move any passenger from a Preferred seat at any time prior to boarding or during the flight. Should this occur, the Preferred seat charge will be refunded.
Exit row seating restrictions
- 12 years of age or older;
- able to understand, follow and give oral instructions in English or French;
- able to visually assess if it is safe to open the emergency exit;
- free from any disability, condition or responsibilities - such as attending to another person - that may prevent you from performing the applicable functions;
- physically able to reach and operate the emergency exit, and willing and able to assist in evacuating the aircraft in the event of an emergency.
Please Note: You must inform Air Canada if, for any reason, between time of booking and the day of the flight, the condition of one or more of the passengers for whom you have selected a Preferred seat changes in such a way that one of the above requirements is no longer met. Should you fail to inform Air Canada, the passenger(s) will be moved from the exit row seat at departure time.
