Of course. I figured it out within few minutes of going on AC website & seeing YYZ-DUB-YYZ was just slightly less than YYZ-LHR-DUB-LHR-YYZ.
Ditto for checking other Rouge TALT destination.

YVR-LAX/SFO rouged is no less than pre-rouge.

I am surprise so many savvy FTalkers on this board are buying into AC's spin that rouge is expanding to serve the leisure market & not as a tool for AC profitability.

I have been given assurance YYZ-LHR will not go to Sardine Can. Do I believe it? just as I believe in Santa Claus & Tooth fairy.

Moving forward I will no longer book any flights in advance in case I get rouged or end up in Sardine Can

Only AC flights I will book would be 7-14 days. Any advance bookings will go to United or other *A carrier.
