http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...l#post28448087

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

Thanks!
most, if not all of rouge’s European routes are seasonal, all with varying durations. YUL-ATH is currently daily until Oct 10, and then goes down to 3x weekly until Oct 26 when it ends for the season. Looks like it starts back up again in early April 2019.

Darn that explains it. Thanks for the details. Seems the best route might be through LHR or GVA, though I was hoping to keep costs down by flying Premium Rouge. Yes, I *want* to book Rouge. Lol

Are there any European Rouge routes operating in December?

Doesn't look like it. YYZ-BUD was scheduled to operate through to January, but that's been pulled back to November. Premium rouge and Mainline Premium Economy are the same product and IME not priced that differently. Any price differences would be based on the specific market, not necessarily on whether it's rouge or not.

Yeah, YUL-ATH only runs seasonally; it wraps up at the end of October. The only direct flights to/from Athens through the winter look to be YYZ-ATH: AC1900 outbound on Mon, Thu, Sat; AC1901 return on Tue, Fri, Sun.

You can download the AC timetable here. Athens starts on page 31.

Thanks, this is very helpful. Though on searching to purchase, I'm not able to find the YYZ-ATH flight either.

D'oh! Sorry about that, I was working from an older copy of the timetable. AC1900 & 1901 end around Nov 18th. Unfortunately it looks like you'll need to make a connection if you're headed to Athens after that.

Rouge Wifi

Being based in the west I rarely now get to experience Rouge anymore (I know, you're all jealous) but will be doing so this winter. Can anyone tell me what the current Wifi status is of the Rouge fleet? The Rouge website is hopelessly outdated (still shows western routes).

Narrow bodies are enabled. Some 767s are enabled. The wifi thread is your best source of information on this.

LOL.

I just flew on a couple of AC rouge 319s to/from YQB. Crew announced the the fight had wifi enabled. I did not test it.

I did YVR-LAS last week on a 319. It was wifi enabled. It was also horrible, and the wifi won’t make it any less horrible. I had forgotten how bad it was.

Forgot to mention, last Rouge fight, the wine was individual plastic bottles. I tried to remember the name but failed.
Not the same one I had on my last Y TPAC/TATL though. Thinking of booking segment this week for a non-breakfast time, to see if it was a fluke or new thing.

I know this is weird, but I am disturbingly excited to try Air Canada Rouge next week. I've avoided it over the years but alas the time has finally come where it's inevitable. Flying YYZ-MIA (just over 3 hours), connecting from AC 777 J and connecting onto LH A380 F.

I assume bulkheads (i.e. 1A) have more space than regular premium rouge seats - any disadvantage other than proximity to lavs and no storage space beneath seat? I will be bringing 45 linear inch carry-on and I am not sure if the 767s can fit it.

I prefer 2A not 1A due to the bulkhead and storage. I'll take 1A over 4K though. Meal service can stretch out depending on crew numbers, or maybe it's experience. The extra space in row 1 is not that much more. Only an issue if you are in and out of your seat a lot and like the window, or you are in the aisle next to someone that likes to get up a lot. For 3 hour flight, not as much walking about usually.
Lav proximity not an issue because galley is between.

I also prefer row 2 on the 763. Also, if you prefer an isle, take the middle seats. Both have access to the isle. It won't matter how often the person next to you gets up.

On the Rouge Airbus's I take row 3. You cannot slide your feet under the bulkhead and there is nowhere to hang the ipad in row 1.

I have two trips YYZ SVD in the next month on Rouge 319's. For those how haven't done it it is very similar to PE on the mainline.
