----------------------------------------------
Flying on the Delta A220 has been at the top of my to-do list for well over a year now. I was planning on giving it a try this time last year, but everything got put on hold thanks to the global shutdown.
The unfortunate part of waiting so long is that it gave me far too much time to build up unreasonable expectations. As you will see in this video, I wasn’t excited about it as much as I should have been once I got the chance to fly it.
That’s not to say that the Delta Air Lines A220-300 is a letdown or anything. As a matter of fact, it may very well be the best aircraft in the entire Delta fleet.
Anyway, this is footage from DL1595 from Denver (DEN) to Salt Lake City (SLC). I was seated in economy class for this 1 hour and 43 minute flight, and the aircraft registration was N306DU.

It feels weird watching this guy with dialogue, I remember his early videos were like asmr so calm and relaxing.
Calm and relaxing? Most of those videos had high-energy techno music. 😄
I don’t love how 25% of his video is advertisements. The commentary is annoying
I actually prefer the commentary 🤷♂️
I flew an A220-100 from SLC to BNA and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The 18.6 inch or 47.2cm seat width left me shocked by how comfortable it was and how much better I felt after a similar amount of time in a 17 inch wide Boeing seat. I think I would feel comfortable flying across an ocean in the A220.
Just flew the A220 yesterday and let me say its my new personal favorite
I still prefer the 737max or an a320neo
Don’t worry about the fish! We got you! We have amazing Makita vacuums that make quick work of those fish! Think of all the kids dumping fish all over the place... Keep Flying! FA Max
The cleaning crew probably just thought a five year old was sitting in your seat!
I haven't been in the main cabin yet as all my A220 flights got upgraded to Comfort+ and First Class, but it's definitely my favorite cabin! The longest flight I've had with it was from Austin to Salt Lake, and I could have easily spent a few more hours on that plane.
Being out of LA, I just hope Delta brings back the Burbank-Atlanta route eventually and puts an A220 on that route (formerly served by a now-retired 737-700).
Flew Delta’s A220-300 a couple days ago from SLC to IAH. Must say it is one of my best domestic economy experiences in the U.S
I think delta 737 900er is better
Now that was an awesome trip report Scott! I love the Bombardier CS300!😸😸
Thanks Ryan! Bonus points to you for calling it by it’s proper name. 😁
@@sanspotter No worries and yah, it’ll always be the C series to me, though I’m glad Airbus did save it! (Also the air vent footage, never get rid of it!)😸
@@ryanfrisby7389 I think the a220 is a much better name than cs300 I mean the cs name was great but the a220 sounds very futuristic
Proud to have worked on the original C series program from technology representation.❤
Great video as always! I'm glad to know that Delta flies their A220s between Denver and Salt Lake City, because I'm a Denver native and I live in a suburb of the city. And I would love to fly on the A220.
Grinding gold fish snacks into the rug doesn't happen to Allegiant Air. That's why their turn around time is so short.
Great video Scott and congrats on 40,000 subscribers!
Thanks so much!
4:21, ''My first ever *airbrus* a220 flight'' XD
On point as usual. The frontier owl...
Thanks Aaron! But you had to mention the owl... 😱😄
I love DL’s A220s. Delta did a great job
I’m going to be on an Air Canada A220-300 this summer
You’re going to love it! The A220 is a really nice airplane.
8:05 id say they probably just took the seats and ice screens from their 737’s and installed the a220 with them either to keep consistency, get them into service quicker, or save money
Nice to see another video Scott! Looking forward to seeing you in future videos with international flights!
Thanks Anita! Me too! I’m not sure when international travel will return, but I’m very much looking forward to it.
You are so thoughtful to catch and release undersized Goldfish crackers
Unfortunately they didn’t all get away. RIP to the ones who got smashed under my clumsy feet...
Awesome video Scott! Love the A220 especially Delta’s example. Can’t wait to try it!!
I have plans to fly it in October from Detroit to New York’s LaGuardia Airport!!![DTW-LGA] Fingers crossed! 🤞
Thanks Caleb! Hopefully you get to try it soon!
I love the a220! Great video Scott!
Thanks! I’m a really big fan of the A220 now as well. 👍🏻
Good to see you flying again
Great video! I’m so glad to be able to binge watch your videos again Scott 😁
I love the A220, shame about the goldfish, only one complaint, 12 minutes isn't long enough.
Maybe one day (once the technology improves) I can livestream an entire flight and you’ll get to watch me dump a bag of goldfish onto the floor in real time. 😂
@@sanspotter now your talking 👍
wow a cliff bar thats a lot for a flight that short
I like Denver airport. Easy to get around, especially with the moveable walkways (unlike Atlanta) but the jetway bridge is sooooooo long. When the airlines say 2 hours before your flight, you surely need it with that bridge
Great review! Did you ever check out the lavatory with a window?
lmao
Why blow through the cabin so quick?
I'm thinking about using this cabin on a flight I'm taking in around two months. Thanks for the review!
You’re very welcome! I highly recommend it over nearly any other aircraft type. 👍🏻
A new video YAY!!!
Love your reviews man. All the way from South Africa
Thanks Rick!
Luv you, Scott.. you never disappoint me once again and I hope to visit DEN..
Thanks Erin! I definitely recommend Denver - in the summer when it’s warm. 😅
Poor fishies. Poor tempted stomach :D.
Good to have fresh (semi fresh, at least frozen!) video material again, Scott.
Thanks man! As a lover of goldfish (the crackers AND the kind that swim), this was especially traumatic. 😆
@@sanspotter I can imagine so! I'm sorry for our collective loss. And for the cleaning team afterwards. Although I'm pretty sure they are very much used to worse than this.
Good to see you back Scott, along with a review of the A220. So was the A220 worth it?
Thanks Peter! Yes! It was absolutely worth it - I can’t wait to see what it’s like to fly one of these things on a longer route.
I’ve been on A220
You forgot to go to the aft left lav with the window.
Lockheed MD-320 😂😂😂 great vid man!!
When Scott said he messed up in the titles I thought he either spilled his Chicken and rice or picked another meal by mistake. What a relief it’s only crispy goldfish!
Haha, I was actually thinking about putting “goldfish murder” in the title, but I didn’t want to risk the potential backlash. 😆
@@sanspotter Yes safer option.
@@sanspotter blame it on turbulence!
Curious have you ever flown to Telluride? You can fly from Denver to telluride on a Dornier 328 jet and can now fly from Phoenix to telluride, I think this would be an awesome flight review
Holy crap I've never seen Type I fluid (orange) so concentrated. Normally it's mostly hot water!
After trial (IAD) and error (LAX/CDG1) the ATL model has proven to be the best layout for handling passengers. See the new terminal at SLC for an example, or the one at DTW which Northwest built.
I guess I never considered DTW to have this same layout, but now that I think of it, you’re right. It works!
thanks
You’re very welcome Claus - hope you’re doing well!
@@sanspotter hope you too
congrats scott on 40000subs，on the road to 100k
Thank you!
Where are the TV screens?
Awesome vide
Thanks Paco!
You have the same backpack as my backpack. That backpack can fit a lot of stuff in there san spotter.
I my opinion, JetBlue a220 is better and I can wait to Breeze to have it. But Delta is a really good choice
Great trip report, goldfish and all!
Was great to see things looking almost back to normal, except for the muzzles, "distancing" and "snack pack" on the aircraft.
It's about time sir !!!!!
Haha! My excused for being away so long is that I was out on a long bike ride… 😬😅
@@sanspotter 😂😂😂 you know what since you put it like that as a pretty doggone good reason I'm just getting started back making videos myself I took a two week break off create a burnout is real my friend but it's nice to see the skies are friendly again
Red Bull is on me next fight!!!
Looks like any other shopping mall. The A220 is the former Bombardier CSeries, in fact.
A shopping mall with airplanes 😍😄
I on the other hand was impressed by deltas a220-200.
I probably would have been more impressed if this flight happened a year ago. I’ve basically been sitting around all year thinking about this flight (thanks to being grounded by covid), and I think that was a bit too much time to let my expectations run out of control. 😅
2 x 3 seating. The A220 will be a decent successor to the MD-xx / B-717 line...
That time when I was scheduled on a Swiss A220 from ZRH > WAW and got an equipment swap for a A320...
Ouch! I’d be ticked about that. 🤬😄
He's back!
Just when you thought I was dead lying in a ditch somewhere… 😆
Wow
You gotta get on the new jetBlue Mint A321neo! It's awesome
I was very excited to see a new video notification on my phone this afternoon. Then annoyed that I wouldn't get to watch it until hours later.
Also, you didn't butcher the pronounciation of Bombardier (Bom-Bard-Yay) basically don't say Bom-Ba-Deer.
Great work, can't wait for the next one
Thanks Jon! Considering how badly I usually butcher pronunciations of things, I’m shocked that I was at least somewhat close. 😆
Cool Scott, but cmon for a long haul! Been waiting for you to return to normal. Regardless you are my fav.
Thanks Jo! Not so easy to go long haul from the US right now. I’m hoping it happens this year though!
Really awesome!
Thank you!
Does anyone know what the guy in the scissor lift thingy was doing on the ground prior to depature? I dont think lve ever seen one of those at an Australian Airport. 👍
WTH, you went with a salad over chicken/mushroom and rice....You sir are an imposter !
Yes, but it was a CHICKEN salad. 😄
This is what Southwest should have used to replace there aging 737 fleet
instead of the troublesome MAX's. A whole new fleet of Airbus
A220-300's. Just a beautifully quiet yet powerful regional aircraft and
around the same size as a older generation 737-700. They could have
easily replaced there 700's with these A220-300's. I truly hope more US
based airlines use these gorgeous planes for there short haul routes.
I don't think Souwest would do that for now. The 737 haven't been no more trouble for now, but you can try JetBlue a220, without doubt, the best 220 experience on the US
Try the new jetblue a321lr.mint Scott and as always nice video
Thanks, and yes - I hope to try the new Mint product within the next few months.
@@sanspotter yes they are using the a321lr on routes from lax.to JFK
When did you take this flight? I go plane spotting occasionally and I see a lot of Delta A220s. ;)
This was back in February. Even back then I was surprised to see so many A220s around.
@@sanspotter Ah, don't have pictures form February. Nice Video!
Scott made a mess with goldfish. I think you need a timeout.🤣🤣🤣
I deserve it. Im surprised DL didn’t ban me for life. 😂
@@sanspotter 🤣🤣🤣
Nice one Scott, and no loo review
Thanks Stephen! This one was too short for a full SANspotter loo review. Next time! 🚽
Anyone else binging his amazing vids?
Was that Deltalina on the safety video?
Good question! I thought it might be her as well.
It kind of reminds me of a DC9
Hope these snack bags go away mid june I gotta fly cross country and really only a snack bag? Yikes.
Just wondered, on the side with two seats, is one of them blocked?
I believe they were blocked for single travelers, but they were allowing people traveling together to sit next to each other.
You know those gold fish could have ended up in that IMC weather or in that Cessna somewhere in those clouds asking for ifr clearance. Yeah they had a better chance on the floor
I still feel terrible about it!
@@sanspotter Denver center we have some gold fish asking for ifr to salt lake city. 100 percent accurate radio communication
Proud to say I'm a former Delta customer.
Former? What happened?
The captains wearing a mask in a video is scary 🙈
The dislikes are from the Boeing 737 Max engineers.
At least Delta in between flights will vacuum and clean everything up
And they all probably hate me 😅
"Mini version of Atlanta"
Denver is the largest airport in the country.
In terms of overall land size, yes, but not terminal wise. 😆
think your mixing up with busiest airport but Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson international airport is huge...been there many times
@@zachariyahawasli6454 I'm talking strictly about size. Atlanta is busier. But Denver is larger. The renovations and additions are massive
@@alecbramlett Denver is still one of the busiest in the country and world though.
@@TheHagerman12 Atlanta is 1st busiest Beijing daxon international airport 2nd busiest and denver is 3rd....idk about denver but thats what I know
Hi
👋🏻
Salt Lake City Airport was my case study airport for Intro to Airport Administration college class
Early!
Really impressive considering it’s early morning on the first day after a long holiday weekend here in the US. 😄👍🏻
@@sanspotter I guess it's just a long-needed wake-up call for my unhealthy obsession with being early to youtube videos.
Excellent 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍾🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
Fly to Omaha sometime please!!! Hope Li Flyer does not comment on this post
No plans to fly to Omaha yet, but who knows? Waiting for Li Flyer.... 👀🍿
@@sanspotter ignore Li Flyer he replies to every single one of my comments on Av geek CZcams channels
The separation between💺💺 seats is so little, is like being on a cage,just awfull.
miss the 80ts golden age of travelling Jumbo 747,superb food and great companion...
It’s a pastime of the traveling public to completely trash an aircrafts interior during a 1 hour flight like a group of 5 year olds.
