Air Canada has reconfigured cabins of select aircraft to add more premium economy seats,

the carrier announced. The number of Preferred Seats—which generally provide 35 inches of legroom compared with standard economy seats that provide legroom between 31 and 33 inches—on 97-seat Embraer 190 aircraft has increased to 24 from eight, and premium economy seating on 146-seat Airbus A320 aircraft has increased to 36 from 16. Air Canada by the end of this month also will expand Preferred Seat booking capabilities at kiosks and via mobile devices to allow for purchase up until the time of boarding.
