Air Canada Jetz charter planes are being used for regular routes and people are shocked at how nice they are. 

Air Canada's Jetz aircrafts are used traditionally for charter flights, notably for sports teams, musicians and other corporate clients. 

When not getting regular use, the planes are put in regular service for commuter flights.

It's nothing new but Air Canada passengers are still learning about the planes, often for the first time when they find themselves traveling on one of them by surprise.

Introducing a new look for our Air Canada Jetz aircraft that charter sports teams, musicians and more. A twist on our mainline livery, select Jetz aircraft will have an all-black livery, making them instantly recognizable and feature a modernized, upgraded cabin. pic.twitter.com/U5nV4aZj0s

Travellers have been posting about their experiences to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other social media platforms.

Most are simply surprised to have found themselves travelling on a Jetz plane while others rave about the experience and unexpected upgrade.

Okay...now you can say I'm spoiled.
Today I got the privilege to fly home on the Air Canada Jetz.
This is the aircraft the Toronto Blue Jays and Maple Leafs use.
What a way to end the season.

A recent post in the Facebook group Airplanes and Coffee is typical of most postings where a user captioned their photo with "Air Canada economy section: Ottawa to Toronto today at noon. Nice Cabin!"

Posts about Air Canada Jetz normally get high levels of engagement with most people surprised to learn the airline operates these planes and sometimes makes them available to economy class passengers on regular routes.

While Air Canada is tight on details, common routes tend to be short haul flights between cities like Toronto and Ottawa. 

I’m super excited to be flying on an @AirCanada Jetz aircraft for the first time ever! Can’t complain about seat pitch and leg room issues here! 70 seats of all business class. pic.twitter.com/prWkNzJ2bY

One thing that stands out about the planes is their layout and not everyone is a fan.

Some of the seats are reminiscent of traveling on a train where passengers face each other, two facing forwards and the others facing backwards with a table in the middle.

"Very stupid layout, imagine you are staring at a stranger for a 3 hour flight," commented one person on Facebook.

One thing people shouldn't be complaining about is the generous legroom. Air Canada Jetz aircraft are all configured in a "business class configuration" with larger seats.
