Airbus a220

I've flown on an AF one. Comfortable and with decent-sized windows. Nicer than a 737 or A320 IMO.

The A220 is my easily my favourite narrow body aircraft. I've flown it a good few times with Swiss. It's a very pleasant aircraft with large overhead bins, large windows and the 2x3 seating is less cramped than 3x3.

I'd go out of my way to fly on one over an A320 or 737.

A220 is great. Highly recommended.

(Also, the whale song from the engines is quite amusing….)

It is now. The bought the entire thing off Bombardier.

The A220-100 was the Bombardier CS100, the A220-300 was the Bombardier CS300. The first two years of deliveries were branded as such.

Same config as a BAC 1-11. How does it compare to that 50+ years on ?

You might as well add DC-9 and Convair 990, also five-abreast!

Umm, I was asking how the AB 220 would compare to a 1-11 :)

WRT DC-9 & Convair I guess y'all could do that. Would mean little to me ( spent some time with 1-11s in the 70's )

Yeah I know, you’re comparing an A220 to a BAC 1-11……let’s see now, apart from the modern and bright interior, cleaner air, considerably less noise, larger windows, onboard wifi, charging points and that the A220 is faster, safer and far more efficient….its pretty similar to the BAC 1-11. Just don’t be too surprised when you look out the window as the engines are hung from the wing 😂

Beautiful aircraft, fresh spacious interior, lots of overhead space and comfortable to fly.
