35" legroom in 319 PR is identical to 35" row 12 on mainline. Seats are wider rows 2-3 in PR since no armrest table stowage, but due to slimline it must be less padding. The pillow in Premium Rouge would satisfy my back just fine.
On Rouge you get (many seem to say amateur-hour) J service and an equivalent meal as mainline.
Rouge's deployment makes this unlikely but if you are ever seated in Premium Rouge and me in AC Y row 12, I'll gladly switch with you.
well, I really miss the map.
And it costs me an eUp credit (or more $) whereas I got row 12 on the mainline for nothing.
The J rouge is a much inferior seat to mainline J but is a fair equivalent to an economy style seat and has Mr. & Mrs. Pillow in the B and E seats so no fight for the arm rest. I am getting a meal that I wouldn't get in row 12, and that is true. (Although it is definitely amateur hour - half of the people have finished eating before the last of the 12 has been served. If Mr. Pillow would hold my tray, it would not be so annoying. I could decline the meal, but since they've effectively kiboshed my MCO and PHX lounge access, I kind of do want parts of it.)
If it bothers you I rate it as almost as good, I'll call it a draw. But hey, if they'd rouge your routes and unrouge mine, I will happily go back to row 12!
