AC: LAX-BCN $998 in PE
Didn't see this one posted yet, thought I would share:
I put these dates in for September, but looks like there are plenty of seats for other months.
Regular economy LAX-YUL, premium economy YUL-BCN
Yes, it's Rouge, but still pretty darn good deal.

) on YYC-LAS, and the legroom was HORRIBLE. Great price, but LAX-YUL is a LOOOOONG way for a VERY cramped seat.Hopefully someone will find this useful, so thanks for posting.

You can avoid rouge by adding another stop (or 2), also can pick up a ton more miles which is handy for people looking for those. You can also route through YVR too, which will give much more PE
LAX-YYZ-FCO-FRA/MUC/ZRH-BCN will net a ton more miles and avoid rouge, for example

Rouge Premium is not even up to the domestic AC business class standards. Rouge is for those that might fly once a year on a vacation. It is not for the frequent flyer and yet AC is forcing it upon so many markets esp within Canada, like YYJ, YQM, YSJ, YFC, etc.
