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

A colleague flew on ACr 1868 YYZ-MCO last evening. As E50K he had got himself a seat in row 18 which is the exit row (preferred seating).
Since he was in an exit row he was surprised to be personally told by the FAs to put his carry on under the seat in front of him rather than in the overhead bin.
Is is not a Transport Canada requirement to prohibit this?

I just boarded a Rogue flight 
. However, as I was boarding, they gave me an op up. 
. But, my spouse, on a different PNR, not only had not been upgraded, but she'd gone from 4F to 18 something 
But it all worked out and they put us into PR. And the big surprise is that they now have something that passes for J. There are just two seats across, and they are like cheapo versions of the mainline 319 J seats. I could live with this.

That's because when they put in the new 2x2 seats, they also change Row 4 to be Row 12 in the system and everyone in Row 4 gets bumped out of their seats. There been a couple of reports about this already, so anyone with Row 4 Rouge Plus seats needs to keep sharp watch on their seat assignments in case their aircraft gets converted.

Thanks - this seems to be the general consensus. On many (non Rouge) flights when I have been in an exit row I have been told that nothing can be stored under the seat in front of me because in an emergency situation it could be ejected and might adversely impact people's path of egress, which is why I thought this might have been the case.

Heh. I was told yesterday only two had been done, and it would probably not be finished until much closer to the end of the year.

You were given bad information. The conversions are happening in Mirabel, and just by searching YMXYYZ flights there were conversions completed May 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 13. Perhaps more earlier on but it is too late for me to check tracking sites.

I was surprised that at LAX both YYC and YVR were a rouge route.. only YUL and YYZ remain AC mainline! How is this supposed to work with a MLL that was just renovated? Also the lack of alcohol..

So do we lose the rouge+ section (row 4) or is it just reassigned?
We should put a best seat listing on the wiki so I can find it easily. I was also wondering which the best rouge plus seats are on the 763.

I'd avoid the rouge+ seats on the 763 that are exit rows. They're colder and you're further back in the aircraft.
