I hope you will stay tuned in 2019 and will help me to achieve 10k :-) Btw. I have no prepared any 1k special, because my grow was very fast :-D

[@omarijoseph3189]

love the livery of Air Baltic and this little A220...so sweet looking...it's one of my small plane favourites..

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks mate! A220 is my favorite narrow-body aircraft :-)

[@nenblom]

Those duty free shops are the best!! You should see the duty-free shop at Copenhagen Kastrup. It’s HUGE!! The A220 looks like a mini A350. Great upload!! 👍👍

[@PeteBrandy]

I flew from Copenhagen many times :-)

[@charlesbower8387]

Congrats! I love the A220.

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks! Me too :-)

[@abus3562]

Nice looking aircraft, inside and out. Enjoyed the flight, thanks for taking me along.

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks :-) Yes, I think the A220 is the best narrow-body aircraft now :-)

[@Alexriga]

A220 looks sick :) So sexy. Good job Bombardier :(

[@tally1604]

The cs300 is an amazing airplane. Finely engineered, with great attention to detail. Feels very spacious and airy. Lots of storage in the overheads. Very quiet too. Can't say enough good things about it. Who knew that the next best aircraft wouldn't be a siperjumbo, but a narrow body short to mid haul bird from a second tier manufacturer? Bravo, Bombardier!

[@PeteBrandy]

I agree with you :-)

[@MovieSpottingBerlin]

Your Tripreport has really done it to me! The recordings of your departure from Riga to Tegel were in very good length. Short menu also shown very nice and the landing on Berlin Tegel was first cream… in german words.

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much for watching and your comment! This flight was one of my best short-hauls in 2018 :-)

[@CSpotting]

Wow, massive congrats on 1K subscribers, very impressive how fast you reached this magic number! :) That's a really nice Christmas present, isn't it? I'm a huge fan of your videos and I also really like that you one of the KZbinrs who are very communicative and care about their viewers! Keep up your fantastic work in 2019, all the best! :)

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much mate! I remember how I started my first trip report exactly a year ago and followed me 6 people :-D Yes, it was my best Christmas present :-) Thanks for your support, I'm very pleased to I found a "YT friends" like you :-) Wish all the best in 2019 to you and to your great channel!

[@FlyTravelXpert]

Great Report Pete! Thanks :) I like this CS300!

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks! Me too :-) One of the best narrow-bodies!

[@brucebowen100]

You made 1000 subscribers !! What a beautiful day to fly, especially the take-off from Riga.

[@PeteBrandy]

Yes, yesterday night I passed 1k :-) Was a nice weather in Riga, but day before was rainy :-D

[@aviationdylan3353]

The a220-300 is one of my new favorite aircrafts today. Btw do you know how many flights in total you took this year?

[@PeteBrandy]

The same, A220 is now my favorite narrow-body aircraft!

[@aviationdylan3353]

Pete Brandy can’t wait to see what the 797 will be like too. Supported to be in the same category for capacity and range as the a220

[@PeteBrandy]

​@@aviationdylan3353 Me too, but I think it will take a longer to first take off :-D

[@aviationdylan3353]

Pete Brandy oh definitely, looking looking forward to the 777x even more though

[@PlaneGeekTravels]

It is a very nice looking CS300 (I like to call it that way - being Canadian). I like the take-off view where you can see both the wings and the engine. Great report!

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks! Yes, I like this aircraft too :-) Btw. I prefer to call CS too.. my first flight on this aircraft was when the airbus is not owned C-series program (it was Swiss CS100).

[@takeoffaviation7461]

Amazing flight! Also congratulations on 1,000 subscribers!!!

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! Also thank you :-D

[@Vinavia]

Amazing video like every other videos on your channel. And congratulations for getting 1k subscriber, you truly deserved that award

[@PeteBrandy]

Thank you very much! I didn't believe I could do it this year. It's a big surprise for me :-) Hope you will achieve 1K very soon, you're so close (and your content is very nice and interesting and in a good quality) :-)

[@Vinavia]

Thanks for your encouragement. That means a lot to me

[@PeteBrandy]

@@Vinavia You're welcome, same for me :-)

BTW. From the latvian exact translation of "Izlidošana" means "Off-flying" - so it is more exact than roman "departure"... we also have "Off-riding" for ground transport.

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks for your info. I don't understand Latvian, only bit Russian :-D

[@dlbrittain1976]

nice trip report..Ab seems to deliver good service... clean inside.....good job pete :)

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! Yes, airBaltic's A220 are very nice and clean and they have a good service :-)

[@lifter479]

Sound of P&W engine is really nice.

[@PeteBrandy]

Yes, the song is great! :-)

[@isaacflyaway]

Congrats on 1K! :D I really loved the wide windows on the A220! How was the in-flight buy onboard meal? :) Which is you favourite narrow bodied aircraft to fly on? :D

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks! Yes, A220 is amazing aircraft, now is my best narrow-body! And another from narrow-bodies what I like, is ERJ 190/195 (but A220 is much better). And yours?

[@isaacflyaway]

@@PeteBrandy Currently, I really love flying on the A320 fleet for narrow-bodies :) However I do hope I could try the A220 someday. Sadly we don't have any A220 aircrafts operating in Asia yet

[@76notam]

good report i like A220-300 from Bombardier " made in Canada " !: ) and Air Baltic too better than Ryanair in low cost airline !:)

[@PeteBrandy]

CS300 (OK, A220 :-D) is my favorite short-haul aircraft :-) I agree with you, airBaltic is much better, in my opinion one of the best Low cost carriers in Europe (together with Norwegian). :-)

[@TheRollingBear]

Great trip report man, would like to fly AirBaltic too!

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks! I recommend Air Baltic :-)

[@felixhurteau2630]

Amazing plane! All created in Quebec 🇲🇶

[@PeteBrandy]

My favorite narrow-body aircraft! Good Canadian work!

[@_Pedro_Lopes_]

Hi, can you answer me a question please? I'm going from Riga to Dublin and I'm thinking in flying with airbaltic but I have a problem with my ears. Can you please tell me how the noise inside of the plaine during the flight compares with Ryanair? Because the noise on their plaine is the worst.... Btw great vídeos!

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! About noise, it depends on the aircraft, but what I saw, direct flights to Dublin are operated by A220, is much quieter than Ryanair's Boeing 737. I only recommend to not sit in the rear, all aircrafts are more noisy in the rear of cabin. But A220 is a new generation of aircrafts with quieter engines, Ryanair operates older Boeings 737-800 and especially within the take-off are bit noisy :-D

[@_Pedro_Lopes_]

@@PeteBrandy Thank you so much!!

[@martinbernict2425]

Pěkné video. Nevíš číslo řady, která nemá sedadlo u okna ale jen u stěny?

[@PeteBrandy]

Díky :-) Já mám dojem, že A220 má okno u všech řad, dokonce i na WC :-D Akorát bych byl opatrnější s 2. řadou za exitem (cca 14 - 15 řada podle konfigurace), kde jsou okna maličko dál od sebe a v poslední řadě před exitem je jen půlka okna (12. nebo 13.)

[@konrad57466]

[@rinalds1100]

The first few rows are business class

Yes, this is the Business Class specialty of European airlines, that use classic seats in business, only with blocked mingle seat. Many European airlines using full business w flat-beds for a long-hauls only :-D
