Dates in brackets indicate planned start of rouge service (either as a new route or replacing mainline service). ML placed before a date indicates the date that service is reverting to mainline.

All Airbus A319/A321 service is in the new Premium Rouge configuration with 2x2J seats. All other routes are Boeing 767-300ER aircraft in a 24J/258Y layout.

Airport codes in blue indicate that these routes are Boeing 767-300ER aircraft for all services.
Airport codes in red indicate that these routes are split between Boeing 767-300ER and Airbus services.
Airport codes in black indicate that these routes are Airbus aircraft for all services.

Routes are organized based on the established rouge bases of YYZ, YUL, YYC, and YVR

And just in time for no-pitch seats I see this now on FT main page:
"Thomson Airways Plans to Add Family and Couples Seating Options to Flights"

I can see what will happen. Some carrier will look at the "economy minus" seat offering and the "Group/Couples/Singles-wanting-to-be-couples" seating and combine them.

My idea for lap-seating is starting to look better.

Rouge YYZHNL Cancelled?

Can't find nonstop YYZHNL for sale on AC's site past April 2015.
Is this cancelled?

If so, would this be the first Rouge flight to face freq reduction or cancellation?

Nothing about service end date (although all GDS show 29 March), but

for airlineroute:

Air Canada rouge is delaying planned Toronto – Honolulu service by 2 weeks, now scheduled from 10DEC14. Previously this route was scheduled to begin from 26NOV14.

AC1823 YYZ1545 – 2115HNL 763 37
AC1822 HNL2355 – 1410+1YYZ 763 37

From the original PR, this was supposed to be year round.
Can't see for sale past April 2015. Route was doomed from the start IMO w/ terrible timings and competing options. (Not being a Monday morn QB, posted doubts in some thread here when announced)

TORONTO, May 27, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada today announced that its leisure carrier subsidiary, Air Canada rougeTM, is expanding service to Hawaii with the introduction of new year-round non-stop flights between Toronto and Honolulu. The new route, offering the only non-stop service between Toronto and Hawaii, will begin November 26, 2014.

I think YVR-LAS is being reduced to 1x/day from 2 sometime in 2015 as well. Not sure if YYZ-HNL is really a cancellation or just being made seasonal.

As for year round YYZ-HNL, I guess it doesn't make much sense to be operating a long low yield route like that in peak summer temperatures when they can instead operate a turn to western Europe in addition to e.g. a MCO round-trip utilizing the same aircraft.

I'd imagine forward bookings on YYZHNL are in the toilet.
Delayed route commencement, early seasonal pull down (at best). Just 4 months after the route is announced.
This thing is a goner, IMO.

Just the nonstop. If anything, I could see YVR-HNL adding several frequencies should YYZ-HNL permanently get the axe. Your flight is safe.
