[TRI] Flight Report AC Rouge YUL-VCE

This flight report is about Air Canada Rouge flight 1918 from Montreal Trudeau Airport to Venice Marco Polo Airport. It is my first time to try out this AC's subsidary. Rouge is advertised as Air Canada's leisure Airline offering lower ticket price with a lower service standard.
Ceci est le flight rerport de mon vol récent partant de l'Aéroport internationale de Montréal-Trudeau pour l'Aéroport de Venise-Marco-Polo exploité par Air Canada Rouge. Rouge est une compagnie aérien vacance établi par Air Canada qui offre des billets moins chers en fournissant moins de service.
小弟第一次乘坐加拿大航空Rouge由蒙特利爾特魯多國際機場前往威尼斯馬可波羅國際機場(誒馬可波羅卡可以積分嗎 #誤)。Rouge是一個由加航成立的旅行式航空公司,以削減一些服務進而提供低廉票價

The previous flight departing from gate C60 (to Casablanca) was delayed, which prevented our flight to use the gate.
Le vol précédent qui part de la porte C60 (pour Casablanca) était en retard, qui a empêché notre vol à utiliser la porte.

Rouge Economy Class seats, much less legroom compared to AC maine line, but much better than Air Transat's 3-3-3 A330 and A310
Classe Écomique de Rouge, beaucoup moins d'espace comparé à Air Canada, mais beaucoup mieux que les 3-3-3 de Transat dans les A330 et A310
Rouge的經濟客位,相比加航主線的經濟客位位置大量減少,但是勝過越洋航空3-3-3的A330同A310一大截

Compare to my Montreal-Brussels flght back in 2015, AC really isn't making any effort to change its Economy class menu...
Comparer à mon vol de Montréal-Bruxelles en 2015. Franchement AC fait aucun effort pour chager le menu de la classe économique...
對比2015年小弟由蒙特利爾前往布魯塞爾航班的膳食,加航可謂毫無進取之心...

Overall, the Rouge is pretty much just like what I expected: reduced service, reduced legroom etc. However, the price is really competitve: for the same price, Rouge does a lot better than its competitor Air Transat. Also, depite a large number of Italian passagers onboard the flight, no passenger announcement nor safety demonstration were made in Italian.
Bref, Rouge est à peu près à ce que j'attendais: service réduit, espace réduit etc. Toutefois, le prix est très compétitif: même que Transat mais le comfort est grandement amélioré. Cependant, malgré un grand nombre des passagers italiens, aucun annonce ni démo de sécurité est faites en Italien.
總的來說,Rouge的質量同我想象中大致相同。不過以同樣的價錢,就比越洋航空高出一截。但是,航機內雖然有大量意大利乘客,廣播同安全演示卻沒有意大利語。

[EN] Flight Report CZ348

中文版本請點擊 這裡 So after the amazing A340 experience, here comes an expected horrible one: China Southern 348 from Paris CDG to Canton CAN. CZ has never been giving me a good impression since the first time I took it Boarding Pass Prior the departure, I asked the agent in French at the gate if I could get an upgrade with my China Southern Pearl Club Miles and he responded no need and he upgrade me to Economy Plus for free! My China Southern flight will be depart from gate M41. I had to take an APM to the M satellite hall I have taken several airport APM before: Toronto, Denver, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Narita, Kansai and Beijing and this is probably the most fabulous (beautiful) one! Although it was only a 50 seconds trip French, English and Simplified Chinese... so familier where have I seen it before? Oh, Vancouver! Bienvenu à l'hall M Surely the biggest duty free shop i've ever seen with all the staffs following you and talki...

[EN] Flight Report LH478

Pour la version française cliquez ici 中文版本請點 這裡 When I first got on an A340 6 months ago (you could read my flight report here ), I thought it was probably the last time I could travel on this not-so-fuel-efficiency bird. But in less a year, I'm actually travelling again on this beautiful, quite and comfortable plane! Also with an European carrier like Air France who carried me last time on A340, this time German national-carrier Lufthansa are flying me back home from Frankfurt to Montreal. I've heard a lot of good review before and I confirm: it provides an amazing service and comfortable seats!  LH478 is operated by Lufthansa daily, departing at 1:30pm from Frankfurt and arrive at 3:30pm to Montreal, the flight time is about 7 hours and 30 minutes Lufthansa operates two flights to Montreal everyday, one from Frankfurt and the other from Munich. Air Canada also operates one daily flight between Montreal and Frankfurt. All other flights are A330-300, makes ...

[EN] Flight Report AF347 YUL-CDG

Pour la version française cliquez ici 中文版本請點擊 這裡 All the airlines around the world are retiring their A340 at this moment just because they think they're not so fuel efficiency compare too B777 and that's why I can't believe I'm still able to be travelling on Air France's old livery A340-300. Et voici mon repotage du vol! (And here is my flight report!) Sorry for the photo quality because my own camera was in reparation so this was not my camera... (not used to this device) Boarding Pass... 2 flights on 1 to save paper?
