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

Is it bad that the first thing that (correctly) came to my mind was the 777-HD?

Wow - someone in ops planning squeezed that one in. At least the J-Class is decent but then they have to go and round up 20 crew to do the LAX return flight.

Can someone try to get a photo of this one coming in / leaving / or sitting in LAX?

Same crew would operate it back to YVR, easy to do in 1 duty day. They could come close to 2 roundtrips if they wanted without timing out.

It is an improvement in all classes, Y has 1" more legroom than Rouge plus has AVOD. The IFE will keep everyone distracted from 17" wide you can be sure.

How is this different than current? I flew rouge 2 years ago and there was a curtain between Premium rouge and rouge plus.

Rouge A319 go get 2x2 J seats

Air Canada rouge is introducing Business Class seats in Premium rouge on our A319 aircraft. The updated cabin, with larger seats in a 2x2 configuration, provides you with more onboard comfort plus new amenities including in seat-power and new iPad Air 2 tablets full of the latest Hollywood new releases and games.

Does anybody know if this will be on the whole fleet of A319s? I'm currently looking at yul-czm for March and would book J if it's 2x2 config (not Premium Rouge).

but yes the whole fleet of 20 will be completed within the next 3 weeks.

It is still called Premium Rouge.

The premium cabin in Air Canada rouge's fleet of 20 Airbus A319 aircraft will be converted by mid-June 2015 from its current 3x3 seating configuration with a blocked middle seat to two side-by-side Business Class seats in a 2x2 configuration.

It would appear so. All the news articles refer to all 20 A319's getting the conversion. And you can buy Premium rouge seats on AC.com or at ACV (for Cuba) on all the former Y only routes.

I'm flying one of these *charming* beasts on Monday night. Any sense of my odds from any insiders? (YYZ-LAS, the late flight)

Do you know the fin #? If so, maybe I can ask a few friends within AC Other than that, i'm not sure how one could tell.

Your odds are better than average. At least 13 fins have been converted, and at the pace they are going, 2 more will be done before Monday.

My recent experience flying Rouge YYZ to LAS.

Ballad of the Air Canada Strap-on Pillow Seats
http://www.royalflushervegas.com/201...on-pillow.html

That's Not a Cigar Tube or 777 Jackpot
http://www.royalflushervegas.com/201...7-jackpot.html

Once again, Beechcraft service to YYZ almost screwed my entire trip out. The Roudge flight was extremely pleasant, a first for me. The reasons? I had a Roudge Plus seat. I had no-one beside me. And, there was something about the FAs.

Looks like the A319 plane no longer has 3 layouts on the AC website:



Also, $199 R/T upgrade to premium rouge with the purchase of an AI package on ACV. When it was ML, it was selling at $150/way (300 R/T).

With the new Premium rouge seats, I am liking this deal ^

Looks like I may restart flying down south, and try my first ACr experience after all..... (note, AA and Delta had super cheap deals down south and it made booking separate hotel/flights a better deal than ACV on Rouge).



PS: Fix your sh*t AC. The "details" button doesn't work.................

When I flew YYZ-BCN, I woke up with an aching back after I slept in the Premium Rouge seats.
