That's weird. My seat is actually in the middle economy cabin (777-300ER)secretalcoholic wrote: ↑ Zone 8 is part of their modified covid-boarding process....never actually seen one myself so didn't know they were actually implementing it.
Zone 8 is typically the front of the plane, right behind business class.
This was posted last year on Flyertalk but I can't find it anymore on their website. Looks like they haven't updated it at all.yesnomaybe wrote: ↑ That's weird. My seat is actually in the middle economy cabin (777-300ER)
I'm wondering if I should change my seat now. I just don't want to fight for carry on space...secretalcoholic wrote: ↑ This was posted last year on Flyertalk but I can't find it anymore on their website. Looks like they haven't updated it at all.
The only other reference I can find as of right now is this:

On a wide body like the 777 should be plenty of bin space.yesnomaybe wrote: ↑ I'm wondering if I should change my seat now. I just don't want to fight for carry on space...
That sucks...what type of plane were you on?Lotek9119 wrote: ↑ Honestly just went through this same crap. Wife was across the aisle (both aisle seats), I was one of the last people to board, which screwed me over. I was forced to check my bag as there was no more room. Pissed me off so much to see people stuffing their backpacks in the overhead when theyre supposed to go under the seat, while flight attendants did nothing. Had to wait at the carousel for one bag, took over an hour.
Personal experience only... When departing Canada on Air Canada there's usually enough overhead bin space. But when on a returning flight it's a battle for overhead bin space because Canadians are all bringing back their shopping purchases.yesnomaybe wrote: ↑ I'm wondering if I should change my seat now.

Basic economy always get punished for the zone.AlexiRos wrote: ↑ I wonder if AirCanada zones you according to how much you pay for the tickets. According to the map posted above from another poster, I should have been in zone 3 for boarding, but I was assigned zone 7. I guess maybe it's because I used my Aeroplan points to get a basic economy ticket.
I didn't realize you could redeem AE for basic economy. I thought standard was the lowest.AlexiRos wrote: ↑ I wonder if AirCanada zones you according to how much you pay for the tickets.

Not sure. Like you, my zone didn't line up with the layout posted above, but I also paid what I would think is a high price to go from Toronto to Halifax (~$1500 for 2 people) so I would say price probably doesnt mean anything.AlexiRos wrote: ↑ I wonder if AirCanada zones you according to how much you pay for the tickets.
