This is the flight report I was waiting for since the A220 was launched. The A220 has the potential to become the world's most popular single aisle aircraft, just like the 737 some 30 years ago.

[@RianY2K]

Wow Airbus A220. My favorite aircraft for post pandemic era. This video make me miss the period when we can travel everywhere freely, without strict healthy check and protocol.

[@avgeek_0307]

If they’re gonna block off the middle seat in Business Class, they might as well get rid of that seat and make the others wider. That goes for all European Business Classes.

[@mikehunter1483]

Why? That would limit them. It’s so if they ever need to use that aircraft in a high configuration they can.

[@avgeek_0307]

@@mikehunter1483 but then why don’t other airlines from different continents have that same configuration in Business class? They could also have to use the aircraft in an all economy config.

[@avgeek_0307]

@@mikehunter1483 I don’t even consider the European “business class” a business class. It’s more like a premium economy class but the only premium thing is that the middle seat is blocked off

You're not alonel I haven't flew since May 2018 (I always used to fly once or twice a year since I was like only 1 years old), and to this day during the Pandemic I'm waiting for my next flight, probably within my home country of Canada 🇨🇦.

[@outwithjohn7038]

Man I have never realized how quite the A220 engines are.

[@mic7504]

Yeah, that should be commented on more. A six hour flight and no tinnitus or noise rage. The worlds first "geared" turbofan engines produce less noise at cruising speed. But that's only half of the magic. When Bombardier was developing the C-Series (now Airbus 220) it incorporated the noise canceling technology it had developed to make it's new Dash-8 variant the Q-400 (Q)uieter. Aircraft with this technology have a bank of noise canceling speakers around the height of your shins running the length of both sides of the fuselage.

[@HS-PGX]

1:20 the only lounge at Almaty airport is absolutely shit. There’s no free food, only coffee, tea and water. Everything else ya gotta pay for it. So it’s basically no different that you don’t get any lounge access.

[@QuebecAuxQuebecois]

It’s Kazakhstan and the airport is fairly small if it was Astana then it would be good

[@HS-PGX]

@@QuebecAuxQuebecois I’ve been to Almaty and Astana before. I know the airport lounge is terrible, and being a small airport it should still have a good or acceptable business class lounge.

The catering and service on this flight get a solid A, but with Economy-level seating, no IFE and no outlets, they get some poor grades as well. Was the food worth the added cost of a Business Class ticket?

[@kostaskorbetis9340]

Sad that we don't have airbaltic operating out of SKG

[@ClockworkApe]

So, literally no difference from the regular seat if you fly with your family, except for the food. The math: does the BC ticket price - food costs = the regular ticket? If not, it's not even worth bothering.

Calling that seat "business class" is kinda pushing it, don't you think so?

[@renesebastianpagsanjan3461]

Is airbaltic low cost?!????

[@krebssfish9370]

Kinda. It's more of a hybrid really. You get better food, seats, and an aircraft than, for example, Ryanair, but not at the level of legacy carriers like Lufthansa (for example you don't get free water (at least in economy, idk about business class) they are quite strict about the weight of your carry-on, and the in-flight prices for drinks, meals and snacks reflect a low-cost carrier). The ticket prices kinda reflect that aswell.
