Air Canada Airbus A319 100 Rouge seat review by Katherine #30022

Flight reassigned as AC Rouge the new leisure product of Air Canada. Plane not configured as seen. Row 16 was 2 rows ahead of exit and seats regular economy. Extra rows on plane making space tight for tall, larger passengers. Had difficulty getting backpack under seat. Had originally paid for upgraded economy, selected seats 6 months in advance but was bumped by reconfiguation to separated exit seats a week before travel by electronic seating program. Unable to be at exit due to mobility issues and unable to get original seats. 3rd AC agent cancelled seats and rassigned together in regular economy seats, a frustrating situation. No food offered on 3 1/3 hour flight, thankfully had own snacks, but did smell first class food so it likely was available just not offered by the young crew. No entertainment unless preplanned ipad app and pay for programming.
