The 'buzz' about the A220 is that you can fly more people further while using less fuel. All of this is super exciting if you are an airline, but nothing that directly benefits you as a passenger. There are various configurations of the A220, but the most 'efficient' ones are very cramped.
- decafninja 3y agoI was mainly responding to the previous post that implied the A220 was inherently nicer than a 737. I looked up the Breeze example given, and while the seats and cabin do look amazing, I don’t see why the same couldn’t be equipped on a 737. That’s more a function of what the airline wants, isn’t it? The A220 I rode definitely did not “feel big in the inside”.
- jakogut 3y agoThis doesn't translate into lower ticket prices?
- M95D 3y agoOnly lower demand could potentially translate into lower ticket prices. Why would a company lower prices (and profit) if people fly anyway at current prices?

- Pet_Ant 3y agoLower price is caused by another airline offering the same flight for less. A cheaper flight enables for this to happen, but does not guarantee it.
- EasyMark 3y agowell cheaper for the airline can lower the floor price. At some point it's no longer possible to make a profit at all, and over time the airline has to recognize that or go bankrupt
