Not sure if I should post this here or on the Wifi thread....I was hesitant to put it on the other thread as it's a one off question pertaining specifically to Rouge.
The Rouge 319 apparently is not in the plans to get Wifi, but under ac.com it says that they are trial testing systems like the inmarsat one.
Are there any Rouge 319s that have any Wifi at all? E.g. Any fins?

Feel free to come back with a question that more accurately describes the information you wish to acquire

If I remember correctly it was back in winter 2010/2011, Air Canada launched YUL-PHX twice weekly.
I was kind of hoping after a few years it was ready to come back as a rouge flight. Since it wasn't announced last week, is there a possibility is will come back in the next few years?
Thoughts?

They've been working on the IFE hiccups for sometime now, along with the Android app.. Think it was a few months back they introduced the iPad2's on board (Around the same time as the upgrading of the A319 Premium rouge cabin).. So now that all that's rolled out, should possibly see some WiFi testing to go ahead if its still on the planning list. Comes down to the whole Security, What do you charge, filters etc thing..

Hoping the scenery will make it a difficult flight.
On another note, now that I think about it, UA isn't THAT bad. PDB was nice, no food though on a 1 hour flight, that sorta sucked.

I enjoyed my YVR-LAX J rouge experience. There's little difference over the mainline narrow body product.
If it's an international redeye, well...my thoughts are with you.

Canada NewsWire
MONTREAL, Dec. 3, 2015
Over 35 per cent increase in available seats over last summer
MONTREAL, Dec. 3, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada today announced that its leisure carrier subsidiary, Air Canada rouge™, is expanding in Eastern Canada by operating twice daily seasonal non-stop service between Toronto and Charlottetown beginning May 2, 2016. Flights and optional Air Canada Vacations packages are available for purchase at aircanada.com and through travel agents. Air Canada Vacations currently has seven-day vacation packages available for sale from Charlottetown to Sun destinations via Toronto from as low as $847 round-trip, all-in.
"With the expansion of our leisure carrier rouge to Charlottetown, Air Canada is pleased to offer over 35 per cent more seats over last summer between Toronto and Charlottetown, just in time for the busy summer travel season," said Benjamin Smith, Air Canada President Passenger Airlines. "By deploying Air Canada rouge on Charlottetown, a popular summer travel destination, Air Canada is reinforcing its commitment to meet the needs of Islanders and the Island's tourism and business community.

Air Canada has served Prince Edward Island for several decades and we thank them for continuing to pursue strategic growth options that will have a significant impact on PEI's economy."

I flew over the weekend on rouge 767 CUN-YYZ in row 13 and was very pleasantly surprised by the legroom on offer (after being annoyed that they gave away my bulkhead seat). The first few "premium" rows of Y are actually pretty roomy.
The only downside is that they have copied Westjet and used shorter seat cushions to create the illusion of legroom for those further back. This makes the actual seat less comfortable for me than mainline since less of my thing is on the cushion - more weight per square inch.
Off yo BCN for the weekend - flying via MUC on the way there to get some sleep and pretzels but return will be in Premium Rouge.

Anxious to read your impression of Premium. Good to know that Plus on a 767 is not that bad.

I've flown YUL-LAS in that section and absolutely agree, nothing wrong with it.
You can dig up my post in here somewhere, but Premium was a let-down for me. Plus is great, but Premium, well, it feels like a waste (and it's generally not that much more expensive than Y in North America).
