This is all so confusing. AC has created a large Rouge network; AC seems to be Rouge everywhere. Now AC wants to send all-business aircraft to Rouge destinations. What is AC? A legacy carrier, a premium carrier or a LCC? They seem to scream "LCC".
@refunds, lol, you book with this scum airline, they ll cancel and you ll never see your money again.
And they cancel a week or two at most before your flight ..
@Bob: You are right. This hodgepodge of spinoff brands is done for financial purposes and causes nothing less than confusion for the public. I have never flown Jazz or Rouge, but looked only for full service mainline AC flights. Many TATL flights went Rouge (or is the 'rogue') and one has to look carefully to avoid booking these.
With Covid we see that Cathay Pacific decided to end the regional Cathay Dragon brand. Perhaps AC will see the light and drop the two and simply again become AC.
@JZZYYZ
I think you'd need to do a SDC to get on these flights since they're only selling Business Class (so can't book economy and e-up).
At least they are thinking a little differently to hopefully stimulate some business interest - it looks like it would be very comfortable for a holiday experience if the prices are reasonable
20 years ago when Legend was flying medium-range domestic flights out of DAL, and AA was competing with them, both used 56 seat planes with all business-class seats and extra pitch - which sounds very like what this is offering. Decades later, those flights remain the best flight experience I've ever had. Something about the whole plane having premium seating made the whole experience so relaxing.
Are these flights considered mainline AC and thus bookable via Singapore miles? One-way in business is 23k miles; better deal than using UA miles. For mainline flights (e.g. YVR to YYZ) with lie-flats, it's best to use SQ miles.
