My flight from ICN to YYZ kept changing and from about 7 hours in transit now it has gone to over 9 hours. Any idea what is happening to this flight? I know the Russian Airspace is a problem but why do they keep delaying the departure out of ICN?

An Unpleasant Surprise - Domestic Rouge is Back
After AC pulled Rouge off domestic routes, I thought the days of getting rouged were over, but AC just switched the YLW-YYZ route from mainline to Rouge. I can't find any announcement of this, but my flight in May is still mainline, but by next one in June is now Rouge. Of course, I paid mainline prices for the flight, so I'm pretty annoyed.
Is there any official announcements on schedule updates for re-introducing Rouge on domestic routes? I can't find any

Nooooooooooooo!
When CBC talked about Lynx, Flair Air they also showed Rouge as a discount carrier, HOWEVER, they are no cheaper than the mainland.....Cheaper for AC to operate but what value for the flying customer?

Unpleasant surprise? I would consider a switch to rouge from a mainline narrow body to be, at worst, neutral. If we're talking about rouge being substituted for a mainline MAX 8 or A220 then I'd welcome that switch.

This is an interesting one:
Due to restrictions imposed by the Chinese government, we are required to reduce the number of passengers permitted on our flights to China for the month of April. To address these limitations, we are randomly selecting passengers and canceling their itinerary.

Edit to add - it appears the maximum load is 40%...it was previously 75%.

Quite an airline.

To start with, they could cancel lowest fares, preserving say business class, PY, latitude. Etc.
Would that be unfair?

I like the seat back Entertainment and more professional look of mainline plus I don’t fit on rouge due to 29” pitch. The ONLY advantage of rouge is if you fly Int’l Premium Econ and have a domestic rouge connection you get to sit in Premium Rouge (de facto domestic J) whereas on mainline domestic you’d be in Y!
