Air Canada rouge

There are no lie flat true business class seats on Rouge so if this is what you want, don't take Rouge. I paid extra for a Rouge Plus economy seat - this is not Premium Economy, just an economy seat with 34 inches of pitch or legroom (4 extra inches of pitch over economy). Legroom was sufficient for a trip across the Atlantic (7 hours). I don't think the extra room in Premium Economy is worth the extra money - just a couple of extra inches of pitch, although the seat is wider. Seats recline. I would not fly across the Atlantic in a regular economy seat however. The pitch is very tight. Padding was sufficient - I slept on both outbound and inbound flights. Overhead storage was adequate. Power outlets available on the outbound flight but not the inbound flight. No IFE in seats - bring an iPad or Android device preloaded with the Rouge entertainment ap and some headphones.

YYZ-NAS. The big downside of Rouge are the seats I'm 6ft 3 and weigh 220lbs. I had just enough legroom so my knees did not bang into the seat in front of me and I was able to cross my legs no problem. There is definitely less legroom between the Rouge Business seats compared to the Air Canada Business seats. The seats are pitiful on the recline only 3 inches and is pretty useless. The seats on Rouge are called "New Slimline Seats" and they definitely are slimline especially on the cushion aspect as well as much narrower since they have jammed 3 seats across into the same space that used to have 2 across. There is absolutely no lumbar support so lower backpain is the reward after a couple of hours. 2 other aspects about the seats the actual length front to back of the seat is less than normal so no support for the upper thighs which can be problematic for some. No inflight TV screen on the seatbacks just the foldaway meal table a-la 1970s aircraft seats along with a couple of pockets.
