When you're so tall that you need to bribe a complete stranger so you don't die
I would like to see a comparison of this to a regular Air Canada A319 to see how better the legroom is and stuff
No way! I was on the exact same flight I was YYG - YUL and home to Calgary
Hey! Another trip report involving my local airport. Thumbs up! Keep the good work up, it’s always good news when you upload 😄✈️
Great trip report as usual! It is always nice when someone is willing to swap seats with you.
As a flight simmer, the Rouge A319 is one of my favourite aircraft to fly! Nice to see what it looks like inside IRL.
Great video as always, Alex! What a nice neighbour you had. 🙂
So thanks to you I picked that seat with all the leg room 19F on a airbus 300 it was $109 extra. My wife took the seat to the left of me with a window your original first seat. She's only 5'4 I'm 6'4 so I'm hoping it works out. It's 3 months from now. Thanks again.
Nice report mate! Enjoyed!
6:56 "Usual safety card"
Sooo... either it's stolen or Rouge just wanna kill alex because he bribed he's seatmate??
"Okay look I wasn't going to spend 4 hours like THAT" relatable
Awesome video man liked
So a friend of mine booked that seat 19F 3 months ago and when he got to his seat this elderly women had all her stuff laid out on the floor were his legs would go. He asked her politely to move her stuff informing her he had paid extra for the leg room and when the flight attendant came over she pretty much took the elderly womens side and ask him if he was ok with her keeping some of her stuff there which he said soory he is also 6'7 and really needed the leg room for the 7hr+ flight and paid over $100 for but in the end he gave up his leg room so her food, laptop, bag, pillow, headsets for her and her companions stuff, that she had which gave her more room in her seat.
So glad I booked 19A on my way back to Mexico from Toronto. Can’t wait to have that leg room, but still I hope I don’t have someone as tall as you next to me asking to exchange seats lol
I flew rouge first time to YVR in august. Overall, I didn't mind it. I found the media a little slow and unresponsive at times on the phone.
I've been in the seat on the opposite side. I'm 6'2" and while the legroom was great, it's actually an uncomfortable seat for a big guy like me as the tray table in the armrest reduces the seat width to the point of being way too narrow.
I have this exact seat booked this summer. Who is responsible for emergency egress-row 19 or 18?
The best seat is the one at the front. Pick the one on the left, it pays more.
what camera do you use to record
I flew with air Canada rouge was seated 32 b last seat at the end of the plane was horrible felt like bars in the seat .very sore butt to say the least.
Do you speak French by any chance
When did you fly this? De-icing?
He mentioned it was in April, shortly after the 737 max were grounded.
those wings look old
Air Canada Rouge, the worst thing to happen since Air Canada.
Your legs take up two rows lol.
“There May or not have been cash involved” 😂😂😂 loved the video once again
I am 6' 4 and appreciate your pain. However, the person that swapped with you for that window seat deserves a higher place in the after world. They are an absolute saint trading with you. But then, Canadians usually are very considerate of one another.
Im pretty sure $$$ money involved with that kindness
What do you base this on? Try driving in Toronto and see if the considerate tag still applies!
MrEeeaddict people in the Vancouver island area can’t seem to figure out how a round about works.
You say Rouge is Air Canada's Leisure Carrier and Low Cost Subsidiary. Unfortunately the airfare costs are comparable to mainline Air Canada. When Rouge was first launched there were some lower cost airfares available on Rouge. Now if Rouge and Mainline are flying the same route you rarely see any price benefit for Rouge. Even worse Air Canada continues to use Rouge aircraft on many routes that used to be serviced by mainline planes. I won't fly Rouge unless I have no choice.
"Low Cost" refers to the airline's costs, not the fares paid by the passenger. That's a common misconception. Regardless of how low the airline's costs are, they will always charge as much as they can. A low cost carrier may also be a low fare carrier, but competition usually results in all carriers operating the same routes charging much the same fares, especially in economy class charging much the same fares on the same routes, especially in economy class where the lowest price is the highest priority for most people.
I think AC has been forced to use Rouge on more domestic routes to offset the loss of capacity from the 737 MAX grounding. When Rouge was first introduced, they normally didn't offer the Rouge product on routes that also had AC mainline service. Once the MAX goes back into service, I wouldn't be surprised if they return to that policy.
Regulation of safety and health issues should be a government requirement for regular inspections. People are arriving after air Canada rouge flights with health issues.
You should try Frontier Airlines here in the US and the legroom is even WORSE than Rouge
I took Air Canada from YUL to LAS and was stuck in a middle seat. I am only 5' 9" and my knees were still pressed into the seat in front of me. The person in front of me decided to recline their seat, leaving me with no room to open my laptop. There are no outlets for charging one's phone , laptops or tablets. I stared at the headrest 3" from my nose for 3.5 hours. It was the worst flying experience of my life. I wrote Air Canada about my experience. I didn't even get the courtesy of a canned response or achnowlegment. Needless to say I now fly Westjet when I can and avoid Rouge at all cost.
They have charging outlets on some planes I think my Air rouge Airbus A321 had a outlet every. Seat
Great video, awesome Canadian landscapes!
Seeing a TUI Fly livery as Sunwing in YUL is so, odd.
The best seat on Air Canada, ANY Air Canada is to book a flight on a different carrier..
I flew in a Rouge 319 from YYC to YHZ in short... It sucks, I'm only 6 féet tall and my back was killing my cause I was so cramped..... I'd rather be stuck inside a CRJ900
A review first for me...I’ve never yet seen a trip report with Rouge! Great report :)
I flew YUL-LAS on this same plane earlier in the year. To say that the A319 has below average legroom still doesn't do it justice. I'm 6,4' so I'd call what I had "negative" legroom. I spent the entire flight with my knees pushing the seat in front of me forward by a solid half inch. Easily the worst airline experience I've ever had.
1 of those planes might have been mine at 11:35 i flew Ac right before they got grounded
My max 8 was replaced with a rouge a319 on my flight from Toronto to st johns, I took the aisle seat to man spread lol
Have taken the same flight to St John's on a319 several times. Not FUN.
Terrible airline, I need to fly with them to Mexico because it is a direct flight, would use Swoop Or Flair, but can't depend on them to actually fly. Its certainly NOT a LOW COST carrier, charge XTRA FOR EVERYTHING. Thanks for the video, but you are too kind to this carrier
I'm 6' and I have issues with it too. The best one that you do not have to pay extra for is row 18. It had about an inch and a half more than the normal seats do and it is free. Nice report.
Can you fly the crj 200 please😂
Booked row 19 the xtra room and seat beside it based on ur review. This was the only choice direct from San Diego to Toronto.
Great report! :)
Clickbait
There are NO GOOD seats on this aircraft
You have interesting taste in footwear
I'm in the Maritimes and sadly I have to fly Rouge all the time
The livery for the tail looks way better then the actual one on the AC main fleet.
That's funny haha, good stuff tho
Nice
That garbage on the seat is just RUDE RUDE RUDE. After boarding is complete and if there is a free seat, it's ok move your garbage to be more comfortable, but don't just put it on the seat beside you. Come on.
Great video and review Alex. Have you been on a Rouge A321? I think there is an extra inch or a bit in seat pitch. I flew recently with AC Rouge on one of their A321's they purchased from Wow. Outside was painted in Rouge Livery but inside was as purple as ever! I don't recall the exact pitch but it was pretty good. I mean at 6'8" it would be tight for you.
I had this seat YUL to TPA. Didn’t even charge extra for it. The guy in front to the left was very jealous. He was too tall for his standard economy seat. Seated here on Delta Friday from ATL to AUS.
The de-icing machine is my favourite part of winter flights. & the smell.
I flew a rouge a319 this summer the leg room was ok but not good, my issue was how hard the seat is
A220 would be a better aircraft for this route
Wait, how did they grant you access to the duty free zone? Don't you need to be on an international flight to do so ever since they installed the exit gates?
Toronto Transit Channel This was made before they installed those gates
great video alex
I had that exact seat in a mainline Airbus A319 from YYZ-YQR back in July even though it was 19D as Rouge A319s have 19 more seats. Best economy seat on the plane, and both the trey table and IFE were in the armrest
17D*
And I meant 16 more seats whoops
this route was served by the A330-300 Series as flight #322 and 321 all summer
Shawn N. Brenya Yep, flew it there and back. Makes that Rouge A319 seem nice!
To me, Rouge is just the same as Air Canada.
Then I have to assume you've never flown Rouge. Horrible seating on Rouge. No leg room, uncomfortable seats and no entertainment system.
I prefer to fly on WestJet in Plus seating if the price is right. Same can be said for flying to the US. If my flight is over 2hrs I'll pay a few extra dollars and fly in business class on American or United. It's surprisingly cheap to fly in business class on US carriers.
metric measures pls🙏🏻
Google a conversion. Don't be so lazy.
Thank you for being respectful and blurring out the faces of passengers and crew. Brings a legitimacy to your review and I appreciate it.
Money eh..
I remember going from Victoria (Home) to Montreal, on a A320 I think? It wasn’t very comfortable but good for a rogue flight. Air Canada and rogue is medium tier for me, hope to see you one day in a flight!
J'ai volé avec Air Canada rouge et j'ai adoré mon voyage. Rien de négatif à dire même si le service auparavant était A++++++...Mais " Autres temps, autres moeurs " ,dit-on ! 😉
