Hola Alex! Great new reporting! Yep, A220 with a 2-3 seating makes a heap of a difference. Nice plane, but definitely overpowered. Your commentary matches exactly my thoughts and that is why I like you so much! The complimentary gifts for your hijo says enough about your attitude towards the crew! If only there were more like you!! Obrigado, Gracias, hartstikke bedankt!!
Huge difference! I would really go out of my way to fly this aircraft instead of any other for now. I have to try the Embraer 190 E2. Same engines and an even lighter frame, so that one must be pretty powerful too. Just the cabin looks much tighter.. We’ll see! I try my best to always bring crew something, it makes it so much easier to brake the ice and have a chat😁 Tot de volgende keer!
The icing… Such bad luck. I was going to get up and run away elsewhere but I could see the strict stare of the flight attendant when she heard my belt unbuckle..🥺 I don’t even know what to publish next, have some simple flights, like these, but I also now have a stock of amazing ones and I don’t know what to publish! Let’s see. Lovely seeing you around again Itai!
What a beautiful and detailed trip report! Great job! Honestly I didn't know that Lufthansa and Swiss are not offering coffee anymore for free. Shame on those carriers. I recently flew with Aegean Airlines and had complaints about the meal size... If I knew... As for the A220 it is always a pleasure to fly with this airplane with the tiny screens.
Thank you! Well, under their pretext they now offer “better quality to those that want it”. While the coffee was indeed great, it’s quite sad the road it’s taking for those that wish to see it as a premium carrier (premium prices are charged too). I specially feel sorry for others that don’t expect it; imagine you’re traveling from Japan or Korea as an example, you pay for 5 star service, get an all included long haul flight, but suddenly have to pay on your Euro flight. Let’s see where it goes! But yes, I would definitely downgrade to 3 starts if Etihad and Emirates, for example, are considered 4 stars only!
Thanks a ton! I’ll think about the voiceover!! I’ve done a test and didn’t really like it much as I was just chatting the whole time. I can’t give info otherwise!
Air Canada's a220s are some nice aircraft to ride on! Seats are very comfortable, the cabin is nicely designed, and there is a crisp IFE system at every seat! It's my favourite aircraft to ride on!
Yes, I always try to bring something specific from where I am flying from or from Dubai. It makes all the filming around less creepy, I think.. I’m sure they’re grateful when you bring something!
“Looks like someone with big ears” 🤣😂🤣🤣 Siempre me haces reír, lo mejor! Esos PW son una belleza y los sonidos que emiten aún mejor. ¡Que frenada! Lo bueno es que los chocolates sobrevivieron 😉 No me podía ir a dormir sin verlo. Feliz semana Alejo, ¡Chao!👋🏼
Los sonidos son bastante curiosos pero lindos! Tengo ganas de volar el Embraer 190 E2, aún más delgadito y con los mismos motores😁 Los chocolates sobrevivieron pero perdí bastantes😂 Un abrazo Luis!
Great video! I flew on both the Swiss A220 and Lufthansa A320neo twice! At 19:09 you recorded an E190 flying to Bratislava. As far as I know, Lufthansa nowadays never flies to Bratislava as mostly LCCs fly to the airport of Bratislava!
It is not a very recent video so it might have been prior to them cancelling it, or it might have been a flight for maintenance purposes. I know BTS has some airline maintenance centers there. And yes, you’re right about the low costs there, just easier to fly to Vienna if you wish a legacy carrier!
@@TheLayoverAviation I think it’s the latter. I’ve previously seen several Austrian Airlines aircraft parked at BTS. Yes exactly! VIE serves all the legacy carries!
I’m actually going to Serbia next week. But not on Air Serbia.. I’ll try to fly their A330 some time, but I skip the Euro A320’s and all that, no point to work so hard on a video as almost nobody watches those 😞
Oh brilliant I love a comparison video, I do have to say on a 320 you are squashed in like sardines I mean it’s not uncomfortable but it’s a tight space luckily I’m not a tall person. I’m so up for trying the A220 Iv heard a lot of good things, I love the exterior of the aircraft very smart and classy looking, I feel the inside looks a little spacious even though there are less seats but it does look a little more comfy. The A220 in the Swiss livery looks stunning 👏. Brilliant mate as always 👍🙏
The A320 was great in the 90’s and 00’s until low costs made an appearance and all planes got stuffed with 30 extra seats. The A220 is so much better then that, I was very surprised. Now I just have to see if it’s just Swiss that has these great interiors or if it’s everyone. Thanks for watching!
Swiss is great, one of the most elegant in Europe (despite now selling stuff on European flights..). Tesla has an empire of streets, museums, airport, etc etc all over Serbia and Croatia. He’s an idol there so lots of things are named after him!
Delta messed up my reservation 12 hrs before my flight so i was never able to go on my trip. We will try again in February. Question: if you had to guess how much is the seat pitch on the Swiss 223? Swiss twitter says 30-31 but the aerolopa website says 28-29.
I flew on a Lufthansa A320neo a couple of years ago, and it was one of the most uncomfortable flights I've ever been on. It felt like I was sitting between a couple of misaligned wooden boards masquerading as a seat cushion and a seat back!
That’s funny, I’m currently editing a video of a 5* A320 and was just comparing it to the LH A320. Two completely different worlds. By the way, I still think plane interiors can get worse!
I never come empty handed. And I always tell what I do, otherwise I look like a total freak walking around with a camera. And if you’re just nice, bring something and tell they will always try to help and look great after you!
@@TheLayoverAviation yeah, thats understandable and always great to see, i should do this more often too! you do this during boarding? Or during the flight?
Sir, I had a bitter experience with Lufthansa during 2003 when I went to London for my daughter's delivery. It is transit & at that time without anouncement they took the flight to London & when we,all passengers asked, they bluntly said lie that it was announced & asked us to pay the fare! Is it possible can all the nearly 60 passengers,I think,didn't hear the anouncement!!
Sorry to hear Geetha.. Specially when you’re traveling due to such an important reason. Unfortunately not every flight is a great experience, I’ve had some issues as well. But what matters the most is that your daughters delivery went well, am sure the baby isn’t a baby anymore😁
It depends. Goverment aviation agencies have their own set rules, but mostly it’s one type only. If you fly the A320 you can fly the whole family, like for example, Air France pilots (A318, 319, 320 and 321) I also know some countries allow A320 & A330. Japan’s ANA allows pilots to fly both A320 and A380. They share a lot of commonality. So your question has quite a few answers.. What I do know is that pilots won’t fly Boeing and Airbus let’s say!
Such a shame for a brand like Swiss to go with buy on board 😱. What is the point to travel with them. You pay the price of a full service ticket, and you got a low cost service. It so damaging for their image. Same for LH.
Well, I guess that if everyone in Europe is doing it and your operating costs are very high you kind of have to change.. Sad, I agree but aviation in Europe is fierce. Only AF and KL left as true legacy carriers, for now..
Oh wait. Your remark about the black triangle inside the Airbus cabins is wrong. It's for mantainence purposes. The mechanics ( like me ) are standing right at that sign to see if the flaps are in the right position and completely in line like they should be. Nothing else. I don't know where you get your information from but they are false. Those litte presents for the kids are really cute and nice. My first flight. How sweet is that......
I’m sorry to say that’s not very correct; as a pilot I can assure you that it’s the place I am trained to check for ice & other contaminations. For flaps & slats we have a nice informative system that can tell us, but for snow build up we only have our eyes. Cabin crew are also trained to check there. That does not mean that in your job role your answer is not correct.
Hey Nikolaus, while it might have that purpose for mechanics (I don’t think I know any) it is very surely for wing contamination for pilots. Also for flaps or other wing related matters, but 99% ice/snow/frost. A Google search will confirm you this. Never late to learn something new!
@@kinkyscent I am not a pilot and i am not sitting in the cockpit. I also never relay on LCD displays. I relay on my eyes and my tools. On a regular B check we extend the flaps from 5 to full and we have to check properly if they are in one line and in correct position anyway. That's all i can tell you.
27:17, Wow that's almost a smooth and butter landing, even though the wind is strong. Great job to the pilot that is making the landing smooth.
Another quality production. Master at work 😉👍🙏🏻
Hvala Aleks! Big words!
Never disappoints. No doubt you are the best aviation vlogger :)
Gabriele, thanks buddy! You made my day.
Just wait until you see the video I shot yesterday!😍
Completely agree.

The wing side view is amazing! Great sharing👍
Not the one I had for take off in Belgrade!🤣
Thanks for watching!
Great Video Buddy :D, i lough so hard when the de icing came, i know something will happen :D
cant wait for the next video!
The icing… Such bad luck.
I was going to get up and run away elsewhere but I could see the strict stare of the flight attendant when she heard my belt unbuckle..🥺
I don’t even know what to publish next, have some simple flights, like these, but I also now have a stock of amazing ones and I don’t know what to publish!
Let’s see.
Lovely seeing you around again Itai!
Great trip report. I'm Brazilian and I've been following your channel for some time. It's very nice, keep up the great work. 😁
Thanks Tobias. Still surreal to think that someone completely on the other side of the world is having a look..!
See you around!
Really comprehensive review!
Your channel should really get more attention :)
It does get attention! We all start somewhere. It’s growing very fast, so much that I can almost not keep up. But thanks for the nice words!
I just loved both the landings. The Swiss one was a real treat and yes the filming credit goes to the cameraman. :)
Thanks Neville, glad someone said!
I honestly was surprised how the video turned out as I was shaking left, right, up and down.
Glad to see you here!

True, you are right. In addition scamtrax still recognizes LH as 5* airline. The quality as in low cost
Thank you!

Both fun and informative as always. Thanks!
Thank you Frits, I’m glad!😁
Once again a fantastic trip report with detailed technical info too great job😍😍, looking forward to your voiceover video soon
Thanks a ton!
I’ll think about the voiceover!! I’ve done a test and didn’t really like it much as I was just chatting the whole time. I can’t give info otherwise!
What an amazing video mate! Would love to fly both airplanes soon! Liked!
Thanks Jelmer!!
Hey, you didn’t happen to see A6-EUM at AMS on 30-04?
I was there😁
Air Canada's a220s are some nice aircraft to ride on! Seats are very comfortable, the cabin is nicely designed, and there is a crisp IFE system at every seat! It's my favourite aircraft to ride on!
Thanks for the tip Félix, I’ll definately try it out whenever in Canada😁
View from the aeroplane window looks beautiful ✈✈💖💖
It always is!
The most peaceful view.
Me encantó el video, ya quería conocer más de cerca el A220. Muchas gracias
Un placer, me alegro que te haya gustado😁
Amazing and informative n stunning to see
Thanks for the fun trip
Thanks Donna!
I flew the Egyptair A220 from Cairo to Hurghada, the interior are very nice too !
Glad to see you in my hometown of Belgrade!
Hvala! Always happy to visit Serbia!
@@TheLayoverAviation 👍👍
What a great idea to make this video! 😊
You also bring some snacks to crew like me 👀 Sweet!
Yes, I always try to bring something specific from where I am flying from or from Dubai.
It makes all the filming around less creepy, I think..
I’m sure they’re grateful when you bring something!
indeed, hats off to the cameraman!
Thanks😎

good job,like the a220,thanks for great info
Hey Gunvald! The A220 was amazing and I’m looking forward flying many more.
Take care!

another epic flight!
The A220 made it worth it!
You need to make a video on Air Serbia!
I’m actually going to Serbia next week. But not on Air Serbia.. I’ll try to fly their A330 some time, but I skip the Euro A320’s and all that, no point to work so hard on a video as almost nobody watches those 😞

Thanks Rod!
loved this video so much..thank you!! XD
A big thanks to you for watching!
A220 is the truth! proud Canadian build!
What an incredibly comfortable machine, can’t wait to fly it again!
@@TheLayoverAviation you should try LCY london city to zurich! on the A220! that thing rockets out of there with such ease

@@TheLayoverAviation also Air Baltic looks pretty awesome too on the A220, no worries look forward to the next one. 👍✈️🙏👏
I’ll try them! I know they fly to Dubai but I think 6 hours in that is a little suicidal, so will see when I get the chance!😛
@@TheLayoverAviation yeah even though I love the A220 6hrs nah not for me, I would still love to fly on one 👍✈️👍👍
Really great one man! Swiss could be a really great airline for me 😊
Edit: BTW didn’t know Tesla had a Airport
Swiss is great, one of the most elegant in Europe (despite now selling stuff on European flights..).
Tesla has an empire of streets, museums, airport, etc etc all over Serbia and Croatia.
He’s an idol there so lots of things are named after him!
Of course! He was a great inventor! 🤠
Awesome!!
Thanks!!
Lovely....
Very nice!
Will be flying the a220 from GVA to TFS in March. Coming from the US i chose this route specifically to get on the a220.
We’ll done, you won’t regret! It’a for me still the most comfortable narrow body to date.
Delta messed up my reservation 12 hrs before my flight so i was never able to go on my trip. We will try again in February.
Question: if you had to guess how much is the seat pitch on the Swiss 223? Swiss twitter says 30-31 but the aerolopa website says 28-29.
What equipment do you use? I filmed my latest one with my phone, will edit and upload the first one tonight.
I use an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I find it just so much easier to film with a phone rather than with a camera..
I can’t find your latest video!
The A220 is so cute!
It is😍
That A220 looks super fresh from the factory!!
And it wasn’t even fresh from the factory, so great job to Swiss (like always) for beeing consistently neat!
I flew on a Lufthansa A320neo a couple of years ago, and it was one of the most uncomfortable flights I've ever been on. It felt like I was sitting between a couple of misaligned wooden boards masquerading as a seat cushion and a seat back!

You should tryout airserbias airbus a330 to jfk, I've flew it and had a great time
I most definitely will Nole!
Looking forward to it for a long time.
@@TheLayoverAviation Nice! Keep up the good work on your channel
How come they´re bringing you all these toys man? Have you mentioned it in a little chat with them when you brought the lollipops? Looks amazing!
I never come empty handed. And I always tell what I do, otherwise I look like a total freak walking around with a camera.

@@TheLayoverAviation yeah, thats understandable and always great to see, i should do this more often too! you do this during boarding? Or during the flight?
Whenever I see they have some time, usually once boarding is finished.
Of course the a320 neo and a220 are cute
Hey so people from dubai can go to houson iah they can take emirate dubai to houston and air india 777 chicago to delhi try it my grandma went on it
True. I actually took that flight to Houston from Dubai a few times, it was 16 hours long!!🤪
I am looking forward to fly Air India soon.
Good job
Thanks Usama!!
See you around again next week!😁
Interesting how LH flew the A330 at that time to IAH rather than the usual 748
I know right? I had to double check if I was correct as it even used to be an A380 for a while.
Covid plane changes I guess..
Btw nice vid
Thanks Rattan!

Give the Delta A220 a try... seat-back IFE.
I’m very much looking forward to trying that, Levi!
A320neo do not use cfm engine, they use Pratt and Whitney engine
They have 2 different engines, have a look!
Wanted to hear the engine sound at intial start :(
That start up would last over 10 minutes😂
