Air Canada Rouge?

[SLP]

I flew Rouge in December. Only Ipads can download the app but perhaps your Iphone can too. When I questioned AC about it, it took a month for the answer. Other tablets have different operating systems so it will take a while for those of us with "regular" tablets to get an app. Once downloaded I believe you can get the usual range of movies and programmes. I refused to pay $10 to rent an Ipad.

This will be my first flight on Rouge. Looking at Air Canada website here's the link for the app but currently only available for Iphone, Ipad and Ipod touch. I says the Android app will be available soon

Rouge was touted as a great new cost saving fare, but the free movie screens on the back of the seats are gone so we will have to see how it goes

When's the bronze medal game. My bet is that's the one you be needing to see. :-D

LOL

To see the Air Canada Rouge movies and shows, you have to download an app to your mobile device. It costs money.
They rent I pads on the plane with the app already loaded for 10 bucks. Ouch.
I don't think there is any t.v. streaming.
One consolation. Even with the extra rows, mostly taken from first class, the wide bodied 767 is more comfortable than most of the other planes like little Airbus and 737's like WestJet. Take a nice magazine or book. Our Rouge crew last month was great!

Already have the app on my iphone but prob won't use it anyways cause it would suck up all my battery and there is no way to charge it on the plane. Apparently they're working on that for the next fleet update. I'll just read a book instead. Was just asking because hubby wanted to watch the game but no live stream TV anyways so that's out too. I feel bad for families with kids....what are you supposed to do? Buy an ipad for each one?
Good to know about the seating room. Was worried the extra 7 rows would really cramp things up. Have read nothing but bad reviews on TA. Guess I'll just have to reserve judgement till I know firsthand.

Yes, I noticed there isn't anywhere to re-charge your battery which is a very foolish design. I always flew ecomomy... perhaps now they call it Rouge, cause they're "blushing" teehee

Just got back from a really delayed Rouge flight! Whats with them dopey looking hats!!!

Yeah we were delayed leaving and returning. Sat on the plane at Sangster while they ran around fixing a leak in the water system.
Had wet naps in the wash room for hand cleaning because you couldn't run the water.

I am 6. 2" and did not find any difference in the seats from WestJet to the Rouge seats, I hate that stupid French name too, by the way.

The almost 8 hour flight delay because of a hydraulic leak gave me an extra afternoon in Mobay, but the 2:00 am arrival in Toronto sucked.

They handed out a card with instructions to receive a discount code, the sight only gives an error code?!

I contacted them on Facebook and was given another place to send a report, it was confirmed they received it and said it takes up to 8 weeks for them to responf! WTF

Oh and by the way this was my first Air Canada experience to MBJ, never had a problem several times on WestJet.
