Flying Air Canada Rouge Premium Is A Big Mistake

Review of Air Canada 767-300 Rouge Premium from Toronto to Vancouver. This flight is the same price as Air Canada's lie-flat business class. Oops!

American airlines : we make the worst meal presentation
British airways : hold our beer
Air Canada rouge : hold our maple syrup

On the ground:
-'If there is anything I can do to make your flight more enjoyable just let me know'
In the air:
-'I'm freezing could I get a blanket?'
-'Who do you think you are?'

As a Canadian, I'm SO angry you took Air Canada Rouge LOL. I could've warned you ahead of time! :)

[brucemurray]

Congratulations! You've been "Rouged."

[AlexPraglowskiAviation]

Air Canada: Walmart Edition, yeah, that checks out lol. Part of the issue is that AC lost a ton of domestic capacity when the MAX was grounded, so they've had to use Rouge on some of domestic mainline routes, as opposed to the leisure destination flights you'd expect them on.

I'm surprised the crew didn't hand you a pack of playing cards for in-flight entertainment

From what I have heard, Air Canada Rouge and Air Canada should be considered two separate airlines.
Service wise

[ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Yea Rouge is a scam lol. It’s a “best to avoid” here

[Will-fnbz]

Not a big flyer in Canada but really appreciate you taking one for the team. Big help for those of us unable to take the time to research every single carrier. Major thumbs up, Dan. Thank you.

I flew Rouge twice, with my family and it was a very good experience. From Toronto to Orlando and then from Miami back to Toronto. Both flights left on time, they were faster than expected and we had no problems with luggage. I would definitely fly Rouge again.

Just when we thought Air Canada couldn't get any worse, we discovered Air Canada Rouge.

TIP: Air Canada almost never offers award space on their real Signature Class (business class) flights with lie-flat seats between Vancouver and Toronto vice versa! When redeeming an award ticket, ALWAYS try to use Air Canada's Aeroplan miles as they allow passengers who are booked on a business class award to do a "same day change/standby" for a flight which the aircraft is equipped with their Signature Class. You cannot do the same when redeeming through the frequent flyer programs of other Star Alliance carriers.

Simply hilarious "Walmart Edition". After this review, I'll never fly Rouge.

I’m a Canadian fan. And Air Canada a big meeeeh and AC rouge is truely trash! Westjet is better

[wrbegley]

First thanks for reminding me to load the Air Cattleprod app on my iPad. That way I don't need to use theirs.

Fair review. I fly Rouge often between YYZ and MCO and occasionally to DUB. If you go in with low expectations. You get what you expect.

In the non bulkhead seats there *generally* are slots to put the cover over the iPad in the seat in front so it hangs above the tray table.

I love flying on older planes like the 767. I just wish the food was better on this flight though.

[ronaldlee]

The presentation of the meal reminds me of murder scene in those crime movies.

[ozjuice]

GOTTA Canada staff at Calgary were the absolute best! Helped me out big time.

I heard Air New Zealand has a new premium cabin with memory foam mattresses. Maybe you could test that one out, Dan.

[NiggaTigga]

Dan, first off: Yes boy, spill that tea lmao. Second, it would definitely be a little helpful if Air Canada could be assertive in distinguishing and advertising how Rouge is their no frills low cost carrier compared to their standard "Air Canada" which leads to my next point.

Airline compamies labeling things such as "Premium" especially in a low cost carrier seems to be a big no-no in my book. It's like a dollar store selling a premium version of dollar store toilet paper.

Informative video as always Dan. Thank you for the hard work and effort you put in to this amazing channel.
