FAQ
Air Canada Airbus A321 seat map questions
How to read the map, what the ratings mean, and what you need to get started.
The map is drawn to scale from real cabin data, including window alignment, galleys, lavatories, and exit rows. Airlines can swap aircraft, so always confirm your seat at check-in.
Green seats are recommended, yellow warrant caution, and red are best avoided. Seats without a flag are standard for their cabin. Ratings reflect window position, recline, and proximity to galleys or lavatories.
Each seat is ranked by its recommended, caution, or avoid rating first, then by window quality, using the same per-seat data on the aircraft's to-scale seat map. Picks are grouped by cabin so you compare like with like.
Some seats sit at the window position but have a misaligned window, or none at all. We list those seat numbers so you can steer clear if a view or a wall to lean on matters.
