I have no idea what this is & I thought I was booking Air Canada. It's too late to switch flights. We were in Rouge's premium seats last year, and we would choose them again. They are like the old domestic first class--wide seats, extra leg room, decent meals and iPads with a lot of movie choices. Based on what I saw, I would NOT fly coach with Rouge. They have a preferred coach seat which looked a little better. Edited June 26, 2019 by hiccups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted July 4, 2019 #27 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Here is the link from the YUL airport site on Connection flights. https://www.admtl.com/en/guide/connecting-flights From that link: If your flight originated outside Canada or the United States and you need to take a connecting flight to a U.S. destination, follow the signs "Connections". There are two possible options: If your airline offers the option of automatically transferring your luggage and you have a boarding pass for your connecting flight, you will be asked to proceed via a connecting flights corridor, avoiding Canadian customs. You will, however, have to go through U.S. customs. Your checked luggage will be transferred automatically by the luggage-handling system. Note, however, that U.S. customs officers are authorized to recall your luggage, if necessary, for manual inspection. If the customs officers do not yet have the information on your luggage at hand, you will be asked to proceed to the waiting area. If your airline does not offer the option of automatically transferring your luggage, you must pick it up yourself from the carousel, then follow the normal procedures for international arrivals, then for U.S. departures. Passengers in transit: Attention! Check whether you need a transit visa. Citizens of certain countries and territories need a visa to enter Canada. If you are among them, you will need a transit visa to travel through Canada without stopping or visiting. This applies even if you are in Canada for less than 48 hours. You may not need a transit visa if you are travelling to or from the United States. The Transit Without Visa program (TWOV) and the China Transit Program (CTP) allow certain foreign nationals to transit through Canada on their way to and from the United States without a Canadian transit visa, if they meet certain requirements.

That flight will be fine. The flight from Montreal to Ft Lauderdale will be on Rouge. Definitely a huge step down from mainline Air Canada and something I only fly if I do not have any better options. Google Air Canada Rouge to get more details.

IMHO Rouge devalues the Air Canada brand but is a money maker for them. They’ll get you there safe and sound but not with the comfort you’d hope for.
