Air Canada Gets Into The Fee-For-All With Exit Row Seat Charges

Air Canada has been busy spending lots of cash on stuff like iPhone Apps, in-flight WiFi, and snazzy software for your Blackberry. This stuff all costs money, and like all other airlines, the money probably isn't just pouring in up in Canada. So the country's flagship carrier is opening up the fee and charge toolbox in hopes of finding a good way to boost revenue.

The airline will begin to charge for seats with more room to stretch out your legs. That means scoring an exit row or bulkhead seat with the online seat selector has become a thing of the past. It will set you back at least $14 each way to reserve one of those seats. We do love getting an exit seat, but it's kind of sad that we are willing to pay for an upgrade —after all, it's still coach.
