AC: SAN-NGO from $390.77
It appears to be a glitch on Orbitz. If you search for it on Google flights it's $476. Booking through Expedia, Air Canada, Priceline and that's the price. On Orbitz though, it's $390.77. Even when you look at the flexible dates calendar on Orbitz, it's $476. When you select that date and the fare comes up it's $390.77. It seems somewhat sporadic. I can select the fare and it comes up $760. I hit refresh and it can come up $390.77. Sometimes I have to hit refresh a few times. Mostly it's routed SAN-YVR-NGO. Sometimes SAN-SFO-YVR-NGO or SAN-YYZ-YVR-NGO pop up for the same price. Obviously for a mileage run you want the Toronto routing.
Either at $390 or $476 it's a good fare ex non hub San Diego.
Sample date that works is 9/4 - 9/12. I've found dates from July through October.

Is Rouge really that bad? I've read a lot of the reviews but many of them complain about things like their buns weren't hot with their meal or that there wasn't a linen table cloth on their tray. I put those reviews in the same cateory as hotel reviews complaining about the toiletries or how the edge of the toilet paper isn't folded into a triangle.
Looking at the specs, this is a 767-300 so has the 30" seat pitch. That's 1" shy of many airlines but I can spare an 1" in legroom. Worst case, take out the magazines to get much of that back. I really don't care about the quality of the food or the entertainment. I can deal with that myself. All I really care about is that the plane gets there, I can sit reasonably comfortably and that there's a toilet to use.

Wow, this is pretty good actually. Books into K which earns 50% RDM and 100% PQM on UA.
Keep in mind, this fare only earns 25% PQM on UA for flights within Canada, so if you do choose a routing that includes YYZ-YVR or YVR-YYZ that segment will only get 25% (~500 PQM). Still doesn't kill the deal, but if you are doing it for mileage run purposes, you may want to consider that.
Great find, thanks for posting, Will be booking to go in October...

I looked up some video reviews of the Rouge Vancouver to Japan run. It doesn't look that bad at all. Yes the seats look a bit tighter than on other airlines but not so bad. I've been on worse.

Great fare, but at 6'3" there is no way I'm flying in those seats. I'd spend two days in Japan recovering, killing any fun to be had on a short trip.
