Air Canada's New A330 Business & Premium Economy - Vancouver to Montreal

A few days ago, the first of Air Canada's Airbus A330s to feature the newly designed cabins took to the sky. Naturally, I went a little out of my on a recent work trip to check out the new cabins. My excitement wasn't unwarranted, as these new products really were quite stunning.

I’ll be flying A330 old configuration from YYZ to YUL and from there I’ll be boarding another A330 with updated cabins to go on a trip in Spain. It’s fantastic that you did a review for both the old and newest version of the cabin layout. Very informative and I enjoyed watching them! Thank you tiezheng

[@AnneSaulovich]

How was your experience with the updated cabins to Spain? I'm looking at buying a business class ticket from SF to YYZ and then YYZ to MAD. It's hard to know if we'll be on an A330 old configuration or new, how do you know?

[@craigwillis3372]

Thanks VV...as always a most entertaining and funny trip !! In this day and age I am glad the cabin felt "almost sterile" !! Sanitised even...and stop talking out of your rear end !! It is strange the table does not go into the aperture for storage...maybe it doubles as the drinks tray when not dining ?? Stunning montage mate..well done !! On some A 330 seats I have flown the leg room issue in Business Class is a common one ! Malaysia Airlines is one of my favourite airlines out of Australia...and as side sleeper I found it very hard to get comfortable...I worked out by not fully reclining the seat gave me a bit more leg room and off to sleep I went. !! I have always found the foot rests in Premium Economy to be a pain in.the ass !! Thanks again mate and I trust you are safe and well in these strangest of times !! Well done and I look forward to your next contribution !!

BTW, you referred to the A220 as the ‘Bombaribus’, I like to refer to the Canadian built A220s as Canabus or as the Mobile, Alabama US built A220s ( two built) and A320s as BamaBuses. Good nickname though.

[@kiddo817]

Not all. You need to preview the seat map when booking, which you can then tell whether it’s the newly retrofit or older layout (I’ve flown several times on both versions of the a330 in the past 6 months). The newer version will display business class in a 1-2-1 config while older version is 1-1-1.
