Just received a survey request about my Rouge flight a couple of days ago. Best fun I've had all day..... Very cathartic. One step above the shouting into a vacuum that I usually get to do.

6.5" - proportional. Even 'average' height people are going to be too wide, let alone me. As said, a tax on tall people. Rouge I avoid like the plague. Again - the imposition of these new 'improvements' during an oil price plunge will make useful analysis of them tough. IMO a lot of people will try once, baulk at the cost/comfort equation and then avoid. I know ACV used to be a plus point for me, but I avoid anything non-mainline now which reduces the choices YEG/YYC.

After reading about Rouge I am getting nervous since I fly YYC to LAS on Jan 5. I am 6' 1" 240 lbs is this going to be a problem? I am in 4D going and 13D returning. I booked AC since it is the only Airline from YXH.
Flying has come a long way since the day you looked forward to a flight to now dreading the flight.

I may be wrong, BA etc have HD 787s too, so perhaps that is the way the world is going. But I think like many businesses they are ignoring the soft cost of lost loyalty and good feelings about a brand.

I'm similar height (with long legs) and had no problem in row 4. Legroom is great. Only difference is that you'll probably feel the knees of the people in the row behind you pressing into the back of your seat. Just think of it as a free back massage and you'll be fine ;-) You'll likely find any non-preferred seat rows to be terrible - your knees will be pressed into the back of the seat in front of you.
But the only direct route from yyz to san is rough rogue, in Apr. Awful.

I didn't have the issue with knees in my back. I remember being horrified about Rouge (reading on FT), but Rouge Plus (row 4 on the 319) wasn't an issue at all when I flew it. I didn't have knees in my back...then again, I could have just been lucky, although the guy behind me was pretty tall...I did not recline though just to be nice.

I was headed YYZ to SAN last October, and when they Rouged my flight (without advising me, I was lucky to notice the change), I changed my plans.....I changed my ticket and flew to AC to LAX, then rented a car and drove to San Diego. Very worthwhile change for me, and hopefully I won't get Rouged again.

I would rather fly mainline econo (or WS) seating than Premium Rouge domestically.
