Flying the SWISS A220 in Economy | London-Geneva-Munich Trip Report

Описание: Over last Thanksgiving, I booked myself something of a mileage run to get home from Toronto (via Europe). Two of these flights were operated by the SWISS A220/CSeries, which I had been wanting to try for a while. In this video, I’ll share my thoughts on the experience, from the seat, to the cabin, the service and the crew. Hope everyone is staying safe and happy. Looking forward to recording some new content once the borders open up here in Canada!

PS: Not sure if you can tell, but it is NOT easy for me to call this plane an A220

EDIT: At 3:15 the sound you can hear is not, in fact, loud brakes, but the spool up for this plane's engines

THE TICKET
I booked this ticket through Andrew at RTW Travel after finding it as an ITA Matrix itinerary. When I first booked it, the trip hadn’t actually included a stop in Zurich, but a schedule change on the very first leg (YXU-YYZ) meant I could apply a free change, which I used to add in a stop on the way to London.
