All because AC is concerned about customer comfort.

Scratch that.

All because AC has a binding contract to limit Rouge maximum fleet size.

I just booked YYZ-DUB for travel in November.
I thought it was a website error when I saw the equipment listed as A330-300, but now I know it was't!

OK - just booked on Aegean rewards for 4 - J/lie-flat seats - love that I am only paying EURO 68.11 per person (48.11 plus 20 booking fee)

Best news - no bloody surcharge!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

Aeroplan was asking $900+ per person...

I was looking at YYC-OGG in March - they used to be the mainline 767 until last week ... now it is ROUGE

Now I know where my OGG plane is going - at least it is going to another place I frequent

That would be really nice. Off to DUB in 10 days and thought I was being almost clever doing AC YVR-LHR and BA LHR-DUB in order to avoid Rouge.

Yes, I'm flying on BA unless they let the batteries run down again. SO much for being worried about LH being on strike (again) for some later legs on this trip...
