Delta A220-300 Inaugural Flight First Class

[@ITripReport]

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the day this was uploaded the 737 MAX was un-grounded

[@kimballwhite]

From Salt Lake City, I love the new airport, but have yet to fly on the A220-100 or -300. Thanks for flying out of our awesome airport!

That means bad news for passengers, cabin crew, and pilots. The A220 does every job much better than the MAX.

That describes DL, "limited service." COVID is a lame excuse for what they ultimately wanted, to reduce service to the minimum PAX would tolerate.

Great report my friend. I’m glad you got to stick around and take the flight. I wish I could have. It was great to meet you, hopefully things will work our better next time we’re booked on the same flight!

Truly a shame how the low quality service level does not compliment this beautiful aircraft. I recommend trying out Air Canada’s A220 business classes - nicer seats plus full meal service even for short haul flights.

[@friendlysky7674]

From my point of view, I will switch to Delta, everything is better there, I love their first class seats, on the 737-900s and A220s, once at a time I change which plane is my favorite. My father flies American Airlines A LOT and tbh if AA still had their old 762s I would fly their products to see what the 1980s/90s/00s was like. The A220 is a beautiful airliner.

Welcome to my home airport,IAH and Terminal A! I do agree,the P&W's do have that strange moaning sound when revving up. The new terminal at SLC is something I've yet to see,have only flown thru there once,in Dec '14,SLC-TUS on a CRJ-200. Am guessing you were the only avgeek onboard--my understanding is you relocated to Miami from San Diego for college,how do you manage to attend any classes if you're flying all over the country? Still waiting for your upload on your Aeromexico Mexico City-Leon connecting flight. SWA is inaugurating some new routes from new cities such as Miami and soon,Houston-IAH--any intention on checking them out?

[@andreforcier97]

I’m glad you liked our Canadian designed aircraft! 😉 Just think, if it wasn’t for Boeing getting the US Gov to slap a huge “tariff” for this Delta order, we would still be calling this aircraft CSeries (CS300). Great work with the views! 👍✌️

[@mr.g7968]

Well, as a person that used to fly a whole bunch... Those engines are stupid silent... Remember the good old days when you knew the 747-400 was blasting off and every thing from birds to Pterodactys would GTFO the way because of the Devine roar of the heavens? I miss her so much....

[@ThatAvgeekKid]

It is a great replacement to the MD-88! I would love to fly on one. I hope they expand their fleet of them so it's possible.

[@tyrizz85]

Umm.. Since history isn't the strong subject let's correct it lol. Salt Lake City absolutely always had a Salt Lake. It's what the city was named after. The lake came before the city, and is actually the remnant of Lake Bonneville that started to shrink around 15,000 years ago. There are millions of geological remnants and signs of this lake in Utah. Including the Salt Lake itself and a "rim" that runs around the entire valley that is now the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. I still enjoyed getting a real life glimpse of our new airport tho.

@@ITripReport I was initially assigned a window seat on the inaugural flight but I had to walk from the tarmac of terminal B and got there late, so they gave my seat to another individual. On the return flight to SLC, on the same aircraft, there were plenty of seats, so I wish I had brought my pillow as I had a window seat and a whole row. I got a single seat on all four flight segments that day. I bet after this pandemic they will offer a wide variety of refreshments.

Something is incorrect regarding number of seat. According to the Delta website A220-300 having 12Business, 30 Comfort+ and 88 Economy all together 130 seat.

[@Blank00]

While Delta's A220-100 has the same wireless IFE tech as the A330NEOs and retrofitted 767-400s, the difference between the A220-100 IFE and A330NEO/767-400 IFE is that the former is made by Hitachi while the latter is in-house by Delta. But what about the A220-300 IFE? Are the A220-300 IFEs in-house by Delta since the A220-300s, like the A330NEOs and 767-400 retrofits, are newer than the A220-100s, or are they outsourced by Hitachi since the A220-300 is in the A220 family like the A220-100?
