Air Canada passengers to pay for extra leg room

Air Canada is going to start charging extra for preferred seats with extra legroom including emergency exit rows and bulkhead seats.

Fees start at $14 per one-way trip for those wanting specific exit rows or bulkhead seats at the front of airplane sections. Costs will vary by length of flight, fare class purchased and the customer’s Aeroplan status.

The service will be available on any Air Canada or Jazz flight. Canada’s largest airline is attempting to find $500 million in additional revenue and cost savings as part of its effort to improve its profitability.

It wasn’t immediately clear how much money is expected to be raised from the new fees.
