Last time ever!

I just spent a bone-crushing 5 hours and 23 minutes on Rouge HNL to YVR. NEVER AGAIN........

We didn't do this by choice - we were Rouged. We are a family of four, three of whom are over 6'2. The only sub six footer said it was "like watching three vikings trying to squeeze into a clown car". After taking the 3/4" of magazines and paper out of the seat pocket and putting them in the overhead bin, it was slightly (but not much) less painful. Then...... Jabba The Hutts body double in the seat in front of me reclined his seat. I had no option but to raise the armrest and sit sideways - legs in the aisle, which is far from ideal.

The IFE didn't work.... AT ALL (Android tablet (Samsung)). Luckily I had a book.

If the 767s are an example of what the more spacious version of Rouge is, I hate to think what the 319s are like. Thats my Rouge flying DONE!
