The crew is quick to introduce themselves at the start of the flight and offer a welcome drink. Service is akin to that in business class, efficient and attentive. There are also options which last all day, and extend to other Air Canada flights. In-flight Wi-Fi is available for a price, across a range of speeds and durations, starting from $C8.75 for an hour's light browsing, to $C30.75 for an all-flight pass at a speed that supports streaming. Audio entertainment covers diverse musical genres, along with audiobooks and podcasts. The selection of onboard entertainment is good, with recent release films such as Licorice Pizza and Belfast, and TV shows ranging from the science fiction series Station Eleven to the costume drama The Gilded Age (I watch the recent Matrix movie sequel and regret it, but it passes the time). For cabin luggage, you can take one carry-on bag and one personal item. BAGGAGEĬhecked baggage is up to two bags weighing 23kg each. As a point of comparison, economy seats on this aircraft are arrayed 10-across with a seat width of 43cm (17 inches) and a pitch of 79cm (31 inches), so premium economy offers distinctly more personal space though my area still feels restricted when the passenger in front fully reclines their seat. Since the armrests are fixed, the seat feels a little snug, though there's plenty of shoulder room. My seat has a width of 51cm (20 inches) and a pitch of 94cm (37 inches). There are just three rows in this class, with bulkheads in front and behind. Premium economy seats are arranged in a 2-4-2 formation on this Boeing 777.
