The NEW QANTAS A220 (Economy Class)

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Nice video mate, the MEL-CBR flight was too short so the BNE light would have been a perfect length. Nice chatting in MEL briefly.

[@JaydenWong]

thanks Paul, nice seeing you in real life again :) All the best!

[@Teldrarail]

My two favourite AviTubers!

[@philip4193]

I fly regularly from Sydney to Hobart return so I will undoubtedly be flying on one of these A220's soon. Thing is, I absolutely love the old Qantaslink B717's that I always fly on that route simply for that vintage DC-9 era rear-engined narrowbody look & feel and those incredibly loud, near-vertical take-offs & climb-outs that shove you hard right back into your seat that you just don't get on a Qantas B737-800. However just like a 25yr old car, they are undoubtedly fun and old-school however a brand new car is always going to be quieter, more comfortable and bang up-to-date.

[@JaydenWong]

Nicely said! Even 10 years ago when I moved to Australia, I couldn't believe the 717's were still flying. We're lucky to have them in Australia!

[@schnape1]

damn, one of the first few reviews of the Qantas a220.... Jayden Wong upping his game

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

Nice trip report. The A220 is such a cute, little, comfy thing. It's just FlyDubai makes the Max look amazing. Would love to see a fully kitted out A220 like that. Greetings to your boyfriend and family.

[@JaydenWong]

FlyDubai does have a very nice business cabin, was kinda hoping QF's to look like that!

[@windowseatflyerID]

Really keen to fly them! Awesome as always mate!

[@JaydenWong]

thanks mate!!

[@GaryInAmsterdam]

Looking good Jayden. Congrats on getting this flight. I enjoyed this trip report, relaxing, with chill music. I never realized how large Australia is. I flew the A220 on Air France twice this year and you've captured the aircraft well. Your editing and video photography is excellent.

[@JaydenWong]

Australia is basically USA without the big cities and aviation hubs in the centre haha. Thanks Gary!

[@OC_AviationSYD97]

Nice! I saw your aircraft come in to Brisbane and got a photo of it.

[@mba0005]

Great video, Jayden! I like the A220 overall. It provides a more comfortable and quieter ride than older aircraft. Too bad there was no AVOD, but I assume QANTAS will use these for shorter flights. At least they have the phone holders and power plugs to support using your own device. Surprised to see you staying in a Marriott instead of Hilton. 😊

[@JaydenWong]

QF is going AA I suppose 🤣 the A220 can go as far as Singapore and Bali from the right airports, hopefully when they do deploy them on those routes, they'll install TV. My Brisbane friend has Marriott status and booked me there 🤣

[@ManuGeeVenessian]

Well done as usual Jayden you looked happy❤

Great Trip review!! And Thanks for reviewing The Westin Brissy

[@JaydenWong]

thanks Bradley!! :)

[@Aviation763]

Great review as always mate! Thanks for the mention! Keep up the great work! I agree with your summary, it has some things like the USB-C, Wifi, and Universal sockets that are great but compared to the padding on the 737 it leaves a lot to be desired, and if this plane were to operate flights to southeast Asia an IFE would be ideal, and it isn't game changing either.

[@JaydenWong]

spot on! Not game changing. Nice to meet you bud!

[@Aviation763]

@@JaydenWong thanks! It was great to see you again too!

[@protocolofficer2629]

Great video as usual old boy. As a Canadian, I am proud that you flew on and enjoyed a Bombardier plane! Yes! It was conceived, designed and built in Canada but the a-hole Trump gov’t put such a huge tax on each one, not one airline would buy it. So…Bombardier sold the aircraft to Airbus for one dollar! It is still put together in Canada as well as the US with wings from Ireland! 😎. P.s. I noted your obsession with the really excellent coat hooks. Well done Jayden. Cheers, Colin

[@JaydenWong]

Hi Colin, I got an A220 postcard of the Airbus prototype livery, it carries the Canadian flag! Very pretty. I just read about the $1 deal, so interesting!

[@Imsogoodatgoalieirl]

[@philipbaker4003]

Isn’t this a waste of equipment? I mean how many times did the 717 operate MEL-BNE? Hopefully it’s just for crew familiarisation?

[@JaydenWong]

I'm sure it is just for crew familiarisation. I looked up MEL-BNE flights in the future I don't see A220.

[@scottguy5452]

Hey J Are you seeing any meaningful changes at QF since the change of CEO?

[@MrTomcat104]

Decent seating in terms of legroom I see in the cabin. But how does the rest of the cabin feel? Does it feel cramp? Is there any lower cabin altitude pressure in the A220 like in the A350 and 787?

[@JaydenWong]

not at all, the aisle was wide, the bins are bigger and the windows too. Felt quite spacious on the A220. Not sure about the cabin altitude pressure sorry!

[@pilot0845]

Fantastic Video! Some 737's do have the 'inflato-belt' fitted in row 4, mostly in 737's fitted with the Boeing Sky Interior, for the most part anyway.

Keep it up Jayden and this was hinted at your Instagram Stories. Speaking of the QF A220 First Class it needs PTV if it must fly Perth to Melbourne/Adelaide which is longer than Melbourne Tulmarine to Brisbane. I wonder if you can compare this to a DL A220 or not?

The VA 737 Max with compete with Qantas Airbus neo. Qantas would really stand out if they introduce a completely new J seats, like the ones we see on CX A321neo and FlyDubai. I am flying Virgin 737 Max tomorrow to Tokyo, a very long flight on a narrowbody!

Actually the A220 is designed and built by Canada's Bombardier. Bombardier sold the rights to Airbus for economic reasons. It's a brilliant Canadian designed aircraft.

[@EpicThe112]

You are correct if you are wondering why that happened it has to do with Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross putting a tariff on the plane because they wanted DL for B737-700.
