I've been in Phoenix/Scottsdale for May-long weekend and Labour day weekend. Each was above 110'F. Sure it's a dry heat, but I cannot imagine how there is any traffic to PHX JUN-AUG.
Guess it's a chance to experience $500/nt accommodations for $99?
Perhaps the summer 3*wkly are more for exPHX flow.

Service and equipment is not up to par with mainline but food is same. Now that J seats are really J seats, Rouge is fine (in front only) but miss the personal screen--not much different than flying UA or AA . . .

Rouge a319 exit row
Does anyone know if the seats in row 18 exit row are any better than normal seats?
I'm flying YYZ-SAN and I have the choice of an aisle seat further back or 18B or 18E. They are not preferred but seat guru claims they have more space.

Flew in late May from BCN to YYZ in PY on 767 Rouge. Service was very friendly and attentive. I found the seat very comfortable and the meals were good. I would not hesitate to fly again in the front cabin with Rouge.

The map is pretty much the only accessible IFE for me. I don't even take the rouge iPad. No point.
(The mainline 788 and some 777 now have some subtitled films. A minority of the films, but some. I did find Zootopia on one flight.)
