Hey All, I booked flights on Airmiles and realized after booking that it is air canada rouge - I have heard this is a really cramped airline - just wondering if when you are checking in on line is there any seating that has more room? Similar to Plus on westjet? Have never flown with rouge so no idea what to expect.

I flew rouge to Las Vegas and it was fine. I have long legs and didn’t feel cramped.

They have plus seating in the first few rows

......for an extra $100 or more.

I'm okay to pay - just didn't know if it existed...had a look on their website and couldn't find mention of it.

Ive never flown them, but you may also be able to pay the 25/40 extra for seat selection and select the emergency exit row? My experience booking through air miles is you get what you get. It’s a trade off of conveniences for sure.

Get the plus seating, it is pretty cramped.

Google the carrier, airplane type then seating chart. You'll get seat guru, bam answered your own question.

what alex and carole said. but youre only going to vegas, cant you tough it up? Its a really short flight.

I am actually flying 8 hours each way, all on rouge

Probably the tightest seat pitch out there. It’s just a transit bus - your knees will touch the seat pocket.
Until WJ ultra low cost starts flying as I am sure it will be the same. Too bad you don’t have a choice to fly regular air canada planes to LV.

If you've flown westjet, take away 2-4 inches of legroom and that's rouge. Rouge does has premium seating and plus seating depending on aircraft

Check out seat guru.

I flew to LA on rouge and we had a great time. It’s fine. It’s a plane.

we flew to Maui on rouge and it was a 2 3 2 configuration....we tried to upgrade our seats but you have to put in a bid and wait until 48 hours before your flight to see if it was accepted. If the the first class or upgrade seats are already booked you won't get anything. I find the seats a little more up right than west jet but if your flying to Vegas just have a couple beverages and you'll be fine...

We have flown rouge a few times. For Vegas and LA it is fine, you use your own IPad or phone to watch movies once you download the App.

rouge has always been really cramped and uncomfortable for my partner and I. We are both 6 ft tall. We never fly It now.

I didn’t have an issue and I am 6ft. I found it was actually my best set of flights I was on my trip to the UK

I flew air rouge once to Hawaii and vowed never again!!! Cheapest airline worst service ever!!!

rouge is horrible

Oh no. I booked Maui with aeroplan and also have rouge flights. I’m 6ft with bad knees. Hope it won’t be an absolutely miserable flight. Especially for the red eye back.

Might be a bit tight for you. The worst part honestly is how bloody hard the seats are, it's like sitting on a rock for 7/8 hours, just did this flight a few weeks ago. The food vouchers you can buy ahead of time aren't actually too bad of a deal.

Not worried about food just some minor comfort for the 6+ hour sit especially when combined with excitement and anxiety lol

Well like I said the ridiculously hard seats were the worst part, and we bought the upgraded seats too. Also they removed all the air vents that use to be above each seat so the flight was also extremely warm.

Jaye maybe you could bring a Thermarest cushion from MEC to sit on. They roll up pretty tight.

Try looking at Seatguru - it shows 'best' seats for all flights and airlines.

rouge is by far the worst I have ever flown.

It’s a tuna can, at best.

It was fine unless you’re a heavier person. I didn’t notice too much leg room issues and I’m 5’5

it depends on the plane - some are bigger/better than others. we recently were on a 5+ hour flight on rouge where the plane was old, cramped and didn't even have USB ports for charging devices to use the entertainment via the app on your own device. I've heard from others that other planes are newer and bigger. So I would check out the plane - you can upgrade to premium but it's quite a bit more expensive.

THanks all for your time to reply. Now that it is closer to the travel date, the planes have been changed, and I can prepurchase seats with more leg room - done. Originally indicated planes didn't have that option.

I flew to Osaka from Vancouver in last May
It was a long 10hour flight I found the service was good and the leg room was ok!
The ticket was cheap but They served food twice, nothing to complain about.

I’ve flown rouge tons. It’s just fine! Like any other carrier. The have 30” pitch on rough, regular air canada has 31” or 32” depending on the aircraft.
An inch won’t make a difference, unless you are 5’10 and taller!

They fly rouge to Japan??

Erin
Yes, it's seasonal.
From May to October

Erin to Osaka in the summer! I believe they are adding Nagoya as well!

Shizuka Hi Hi Hi!!! I miss you! How are you! So nice to see you!

David
I miss your warm smile!!!
Any big travel plan this year??

Shizuka Thailand march/April Italy/Netherlands in May, Hawaii (Maui) in November. You?

David wow!!
Full of adventure!
We are planning to go to Thailand in September.
I will try to go to Japan sometime this year as well to visit my family.

If you're tall, you'll be miserable. I'm flying rouge next month and I'm considering amputation before I go
