As a Delta Airlines employee.... thank you for this video and for being apart of this day. Hope my people in LGA took care of you. I use to be a ramp supervisor there.
@bob wach I dont think you know what happened with this plane lol. Boeing sued bombardeir and got our puppet of a government to impose a 300% import tax. Airbus then came in and said we will build the plane in our American facility to go around the import tax so now the plane is a viable option for airlines to purchase. IMO the bombardier management and family of idiots did well to recover from Boeing/US GOVT's dirty tactics.
The plane is a proudly Canadian designed and produced aircraft. It is by far the most advanced short-medium haul airplane in existence, in many ways: It is terrifically economical, while provide better than average comfort to passengers, big plane tools to pilots, unusually spacious galley for the cabin crew and so on. It is fitting that the best US airline company (survey after survey), Delta put the type in service first in NA.
In the shadow of Canada's Avro Arrow, it will be a matter of time when the Mirabel plant will crank out a completely world-dominating product when Airbus-Bombardier stretches the CSeries/A220-500 into the realm of Boeing 737MAX-8.
Well, that's a very optimistic prediction 'texasabbott', because those things are not only about engineering prowess, but also about business acumen and so on. Have you noticed, that Bombardier needed to sell a perfectly competitive product to Airbus, due to the threat of litigation coming from the US? Strangely the whole threat quieted down now, that the plane transferred under the umbrella of Airbus. You see, unlike Bombardier, Airbus has the heft to counter or otherwise face down any legal challenge coming to their way. The opposition know that too, so that's why the ruckus gone away. So yes, in one way I'm proud of the C series accomplishment, but I also see the harsh realities of being a small player in a Global business. PS I'm consoled by the fact, that at least the C Series didn't end-up in the scrap heap, like its less fortunate predecessor, the Avro Arrow did.
I flew on the very first E190 flight for JetBlue way back in 2005...as they were the launch customer, this was also the first E190 flight anywhere in the world! A true inaugural! It was noted as being special but nothing like the festivities onboard this A220!
Awesome job getting this video up so quickly. This is a great recap of the day and I am so grateful to have been a part of it with yourself and others!
Alexander Anderson that’s because it is a cs100, the us put a 300% tariff for dumping so they gave airbus 50.01 percent of every sale and branded it as an airbus to get around the tariff. And it made sense being airbus is a huge company and markets planes better they will likely get more sales
I am so excited to fly on Delta's A220. I have been so excited from the time when I read an article talking about Delta ordering A220s, it is a beautiful aircraft
It was nice to meet you and chat during the flight. Video looks really good for how quickly you got it posted. You were working hard the whole flight. Hopefully I'll be able to book that Domestic A350 to SeaTac.
I'm glad you had an awesome time. I was on the Boston flight that was originally scheduled for last week, but due to the shutdown, was forced to change those plans, and could not do it this week... Bummed down of course, that collectible pin is legit.
For a regional jet, Delta adding personal video screens at each seat was a huge plus, also the “extra wide” economy seats is almost unique (again for a regional jet). Delta has impressed me once again and continues to be my favorite US airline!
Don;t you mean 'regional flight'? The A220 is easily capable of Europe -> East Coast USA flights. so hardly a 'regional jet'. Many air journeys within the US are now flown by (more efficient) turboprop aircraft. What would you call those?
Thanks for sharing your experience with this new aircraft, Jeb! I've been tracking the Delta A220 coming in and out of DFW on test flights for the past couple of months. It's really a beautiful plane and I hope to get to fly on it someday. All the best to you-Clay
Definitely worth that 4AM wake up call, especially with that reception beforehand. Great video, always great to get a different viewpoint on the same aircraft (flight). Still can’t get over the size of those windows. As always, amazing video
I was on the inaugural Air Canada 787 from Toronto to Halifax. I am a flight dispatcher for Air Canada Express based in Halifax. I worked the overnight shift then jumped a flight to Toronto so I could immediately fly back to Halifax about that beautiful airliner :)
Well done mate - another great video and out in record time! Love the A220 (flew it with Baltic). Sensational experience being on the inaugural - looked like fun.
Jeb, I can't thank you enough that you took the time to fly in the C Series / Airbus A220. I hope that Delta and more Airlines enjoy this beautiful piece of Canadian aviation engineering. You're an amazing UA-camr Jeb. Sending regards from Canada, your friendly neighbour to the North, and the same country that Donald Trump called a "National Security Threat" haha! Jokes aside, love the video and love your content. Take care buddy and enjoy the weekend!
I Knew it! I did! I knew you'd fly on it eventually, just not so soon, not on the inaugural flight. I am excited about the future of le A220, espacially with Delta being a keey role in it's production!
It's a full widebody experience on a narrow body form factor. Large lockers, windows, seat width, toilets and aisles. This is unique, compare this to a larger 737-MAX and you'll see the difference between now and 1967.

Jebb, I've never flown on an inaugural flight, and I would love to especially with Delta! I sure hope that they fly these up to Rochester, NY! However, what's really remarkable about the A220 is that they have the exact seat configuration as the MD90. The MD90 is my favorite narrow body jet! When the MD90 is retired, I think the A220 will be a nice replacement. Love it! Love the video...Blessings
I saw on a flight radar app these planes flying around. They only did test flights, but now they’re doing real hops with real people! I’m so glad to see this plane enter service and you did a great job filming it, awesome that you were there for that day!
Past Jeb; Future Jeb...You crack me up, Jeb! Love it!! This was a great trip report, as usual, from you. I can’t wait to fly on an A220. What I wouldn’t give to be at an event like this...no matter how early. 😊
My wife and I booked the original inaugural A220 from LGA-DFW. There was an FAA delay in completing the certification for this aircraft type so we missed what appears to have been a great experience. I at least feel like I was on the inaugural DL A220 from your video. Great job, Jeb!
I was in northern Toronto near where they were testing these a few years ago, and a couple times I saw them flying overhead. I was absolutely amazed at how quiet they were, I had no idea that it was even possible to make a plane that quiet. You really have to experience it in person to understand, it is absolutely astounding.
So happy you dropped this video, I wasn’t sure if you were going to do this flight but am so happy you did!!! Just another Great Delta Inaugural Flight report from Mr. Brooks 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😎
The A220 is a beautiful bird. Reminds me of a slender Dreamliner (and yes, that is a good thing) with ant-vortex wing tips. Kudos to the design engineers at Bombardier.
I’ve been the pilot in command of inaugural flights before. Specifically, new T-6 Texan II’s from the Raytheon factory in Wichita with zero hours in the logbook back when I was an instructor pilot at Air Force JSUPT. I also flew the second flight ever for one of my civilian company’s Boeing 747-8’s. And interestingly, that airplane rolled out of the factory 24 hours late which caused me to fly it 24 hours after I was originally scheduled to. This delay caused a chain reaction that forced me to miss my aerial refueling checkride with my squadron.
Another great video, Jeb! I have to admit, I'm extremely jealous! I was very, very tempted to fly all the way to LGA this weekend JUST to fly to DFW on the A220. I have become a big fan of the MD-88 and 717 as narrow-body jets, and the A220 looks like a similar plane, but improved and updated. I can't wait to fly in one!
Another cracking video Jeb. Can I just thank you for these videos, I’ve had a terrible fear of flying for about a decade now and hadn’t flown more than 3 hours at one time because of it. I had a flight from LHR to Sydney via Dubai booked and was frankly terrified at the prospect. So I spent a week watching all your videos to try and normalise flying a bit more and it massively helped on the 22 hour marathon, I didn’t enjoy it but I could tolerate it, in part thanks to your excellent work - I really appreciate it.
Delta, Air Baltic and Swiss are rooting for the A220. Air Baltic CEO Martin Gauss said "Nothing able to compete" with this aircraft. Moxy and JetBlue ordered 60 each, and late April, Southwest is taking a closer look at the A220-300!
The A220 is a legitimate threat to Boeing’s dated 1967 737. The current and stretch version of the A200 will be the new benchmark for short and medium range aircraft.
I am not completely sure they will. The 737 among others has really morphed into a jack of all trades. Especially since the 757s were discontinued and are starting to age out
Such a gorgeous looking piece of engineering inside and out! Kudos to Bombardier and Airbus!! It will sell like hot cakes to numerous airlines around the globe!!!
As a retired Flight Attendant, FAA certified on Lockheed L1011, B747-100/200/SP B767-200 B757-200 B727-100/200, DC9-30 to MD80 I've never seen so much hype about flying inside a sardine can :-)
I was on the inaugural Brussels Airlines (opb Cityjet) flight from Birmingham (BHX) to Brussels (BRU). Love the ‘smaller’ regional aircraft such as the SSJ-100-95 and the A220
Fantastic Video! Can’t wait for American and United’s A220! What was your favorite part of this flight? Also, doesn’t the A220/C Series look like a miniature 787? Just me?
That plane’s interior looks insanely nice. Everyone’s always complaining about how planes are so awful and cramped these days but it’s really not true and we’re advancing in that respect. I hope you enjoyed that experience Jeb as much as I enjoy your trip reports, keep them coming. And a question: they won’t usually be using it on the New York to Dallas route will they? It just seems like too high demand to use a small ish plane like that but I could be wrong.
Joshua V you forget the fact that dfw is actually an AA hub. Delta has to compete with American shuttling massive amounts of people on this route to onward connections. They use the big planes and can sell a cheeper Economy seat. Delta on the other hand sells this route to the bushiness community and there own medallions that prefer to always fly delta, more of a luxury route if you will, local route for New Yorkers. Delta will send it’s traffic on the big planes you talk about through atl and other more major hubs
Looks great Jeb! Inaugural flights are always so so special and cool I’ve never taken one but I hope to someday! Fingers crossed 🤞 I hope to take the Delta A350-1000 Inagural flight or the Qantas 🇦🇺 Inaugural A350-1000 flight from JFK-SYD on Project Sunrise 🌅 However I wish more credit was given to Bombardier 🇨🇦 for this wonderful jet! Cheers 🥂 Caleb’s Aviation
You need to do a review on Delta A220 Y class (standard seats). Not everybody flies Business/First Class. I was surprise by your comment about 'a loud' cabin. Most people who have traveled on a A220 have said the cabin is quieter than the A320/A321ceo's and B737's.
@@GreenerGrass - Thanks for the info. Airbus has a new market and no competition in the 3+2 seat regional to short international market versatility of the A220 as Boeing never replaced the B717. The A220 is in essence the B717 and lessor extend the BAE146 replacement.
The economy class is comfy as well. I work the ramp in DFW and we got to check out the planes during the test flights that were mentioned in the video. I sat in the most cramped looking row I could see and had plenty of room for my legs and body. And I'm about 5'11" and 230lbs It's an excellent plane! Only thing I don't like it like about it is at the 6:10 point of the video. When the plane moves from a stop it sounds like a whale being shanked by Poseidon's Triton lol
I just flew on the A220 July 25th to Dallas from LaGuardia. Very nice flight. I had economy seats row 22 and they were the most comfortable seats I ever had on a single aisle aircraft. Had the A220 on the return flight, row20. My second positive experience with Delta.
Can you please call it the Bombardier A220? Just hoping if you could bring the Canadian spirit since it had to go through so much we can’t forget about the cs100.

Very pleased that the A220 is finally flying in the states and would love to try a flight with Delta myself. Good work getting the video up so quickly.
I am sure Boeing was ecstatic about this one, after trying to sue then Bombardier, now AirBus. I am glad it all backfired in their face. It looks like a winner.👍
The CSeries could have been bought by Boeing as its Y1, with 12 years of world-beating research and design done for them by Bombardier engineers. Instead, Boeing bet the farm on a plane from 1967, and lost the entire MAX7 market to the CS300/A220-300: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-06/westjet-cools-on-smallest-boeing-737-max-as-ceo-rethinks-fleet
Both the 737 and A220/CSeries are twinjets. Filling the plane up isn't going to be problematic since fuel costs are very minimal and capacity is only meant to maximize profits.
I'm willing to bet that's Delta's long term plan, looking at their order book. 90 A220s 35 A330-900neo's 100 A321neo's 25 A350s The only order the have from Boeing is 12 more 737-900s
Considering Boeing’s fallout with Delta which was never made up. I can picture Delta shifting all orders to Airbus which is a slap in the face for Boeing. Shifting from pure Boeing to eventually pure Airbus except for some left over 737/ and 767 in the end when all is completed
Delta made the perfect decision to order this beauty
sushi777300 jag håller med!!!

i've been not liking the noses on the recent jets like the 787 and the a350, but i rather like this one.
Not sure why I like the look of the A220 so much. Technically it's "just another" conventional twin-engine narrowbody, but something about it makes it look so well proportioned and elegant.
I don’t like the name, every thing else about it is awesome though!

The A220 is a legitimate threat to Boeing’s dated 1967 737. The current and stretch version of the A200 will be the new benchmark for short and medium range aircraft.
I am not completely sure they will. The 737 among others has really morphed into a jack of all trades. Especially since the 757s were discontinued and are starting to age out
Appreciate you getting the video out quickly!
I was waiting to fly to Nashville when you landed.
Great Job Jeb, huge fan on your work
Cool video I've always wanted to fly on delta
Such a gorgeous looking piece of engineering inside and out! Kudos to Bombardier and Airbus!! It will sell like hot cakes to numerous airlines around the globe!!!
Great to see the -A220- C-Series in its true home of North America! Hope to fly on one of these beauties soon!
That's right. This is a C-Series, and the 717 is the MD-95!
The sound of the engines tho.... ITS PERFECT!!!👌
Awesome!
@@lumberc hi
A220 looks unreal. Great video
As a retired Flight Attendant, FAA certified on Lockheed L1011, B747-100/200/SP B767-200 B757-200 B727-100/200, DC9-30 to MD80 I've never seen so much hype about flying inside a sardine can :-)
TWTR4EVER sour grapes Will get you nowhere
Ian Buchan....Lol.... I won't be flying anywhere on that sardine can ;-)
I was on the inaugural Brussels Airlines (opb Cityjet) flight from Birmingham (BHX) to Brussels (BRU). Love the ‘smaller’ regional aircraft such as the SSJ-100-95 and the A220
I live in fort worth. So excited,!!!!
Thank You yet again for the best reviews Ever!
Fantastic Video! Can’t wait for American and United’s A220! What was your favorite part of this flight?
Also, doesn’t the A220/C Series look like a miniature 787? Just me?
Yeah, the nose reminds me
The rest of the plane yeah but the windows for the cockpit looks like an a350
It looks like a 787 and a350 had a baby
Sam Holly it reminds me of an A350 plus a Boring A330 kind of
Compare the 787 cockpit and the A220 cockpit. They are almost the same!!! But the biggest difference is the yoke vs. the sidestick.
All of your work is just pure beauty and talented art!!
I love the A220
I especially love seeing all your amazing watches! Great taste and that Grand Seiko I saw in one of your videos recently was stunning.
That plane’s interior looks insanely nice. Everyone’s always complaining about how planes are so awful and cramped these days but it’s really not true and we’re advancing in that respect. I hope you enjoyed that experience Jeb as much as I enjoy your trip reports, keep them coming. And a question: they won’t usually be using it on the New York to Dallas route will they? It just seems like too high demand to use a small ish plane like that but I could be wrong.
Joshua V you forget the fact that dfw is actually an AA hub. Delta has to compete with American shuttling massive amounts of people on this route to onward connections. They use the big planes and can sell a cheeper Economy seat. Delta on the other hand sells this route to the bushiness community and there own medallions that prefer to always fly delta, more of a luxury route if you will, local route for New Yorkers. Delta will send it’s traffic on the big planes you talk about through atl and other more major hubs
Looks great Jeb! Inaugural flights are always so so special and cool I’ve never taken one but I hope to someday! Fingers crossed 🤞
I hope to take the Delta A350-1000 Inagural flight or the Qantas 🇦🇺 Inaugural A350-1000 flight from JFK-SYD on Project Sunrise 🌅
However I wish more credit was given to Bombardier 🇨🇦 for this wonderful jet!
Cheers 🥂

You need to do a review on Delta A220 Y class (standard seats). Not everybody flies Business/First Class.
I was surprise by your comment about 'a loud' cabin. Most people who have traveled on a A220 have said the cabin is quieter than the A320/A321ceo's and B737's.
@@GreenerGrass The Swiss are generally more quiet than the Americans 😉
@@GreenerGrass - Thanks for the info. Airbus has a new market and no competition in the 3+2 seat regional to short international market versatility of the A220 as Boeing never replaced the B717. The A220 is in essence the B717 and lessor extend the BAE146 replacement.
The economy class is comfy as well. I work the ramp in DFW and we got to check out the planes during the test flights that were mentioned in the video. I sat in the most cramped looking row I could see and had plenty of room for my legs and body. And I'm about 5'11" and 230lbs
It's an excellent plane!
Only thing I don't like it like about it is at the 6:10 point of the video. When the plane moves from a stop it sounds like a whale being shanked by Poseidon's Triton lol
I just flew on the A220 July 25th to Dallas from LaGuardia. Very nice flight. I had economy seats row 22 and they were the most comfortable seats I ever had on a single aisle aircraft. Had the A220 on the return flight, row20. My second positive experience with Delta.
Can you please call it the Bombardier A220? Just hoping if you could bring the Canadian spirit since it had to go through so much we can’t forget about the cs100.
Bombardier themselves call it the Airbus A220, calling it otherwise puts Bombardier in legal issues
No we won't call it something that it isn't.
I work on the ramp for Delta and have to say I'm excited to see this when it comes to my airport.
James Me to I'm a Marshaller for Delta in Tampa.
7:30 But can you use *_A I R P O D S ?_* (im sorry)
Russ who has them
MM Aviation No one, but I have the better and improved Soulja Pods, along with the tide pods.
Russ so

*Thank you for sharing this! I’m so jealous!*
Does future Jeb ever get upset with past Jeb’s meal choices?
steveo1kinevo lol
I just watched your "final Delta 747 flight" video 5 minutes ago and now you're welcoming the A220 to the Delta fleet. You have a pretty cool life!
CSeries♥♥♥ Quebec engineering at it's best!
No actually Canadian engineering

Great video Jeb. Congrats on flying another inaugural one

We Europeans have double enjoyment with the Swiss and the Air Baltic with the A220. I liked it very much and the equipment is really great!
I have gone on an inaugural flight Ethiopian airline a350
Lovely video on the new Delta A220. Always a pleasure to watch your videos with your upbeat and positive attitude.
Keep at it !
That's nice and all but can it do vertical landings like the 737MAX?
zedovski ! No worries mate, be happy!!
Very pleased that the A220 is finally flying in the states and would love to try a flight with Delta myself. Good work getting the video up so quickly.
I wish Embraer made an E-170 E2 😕. I think the A220 is a good airplane. Good video!!👍
Nice, two uploads in so little time. My favorite plane review youtuber.
Ohh I was a highlighted comment for so little.
Canadian airplane...those who fly it say it is the best!
Very nice video,cool airplane I'm so glad you had the chance to try the A 220 out.
I am sure Boeing was ecstatic about this one, after trying to sue then Bombardier, now AirBus. I am glad it all backfired in their face. It looks like a winner.👍
The CSeries could have been bought by Boeing as its Y1, with 12 years of world-beating research and design done for them by Bombardier engineers. Instead, Boeing bet the farm on a plane from 1967, and lost the entire MAX7 market to the CS300/A220-300:
www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-06/westjet-cools-on-smallest-boeing-737-max-as-ceo-rethinks-fleet
@@texasabbott It's because the 737 is a long-lasting and reliable design. It's why it sold over 13,000 units.
Both the 737 and A220/CSeries are twinjets. Filling the plane up isn't going to be problematic since fuel costs are very minimal and capacity is only meant to maximize profits.
@bob wach Haha, Boeing is killing people with their MAX 8.
bob wach calling other country’s pilots low skilled is just ignorant
The A220-100 is the perfect replacement for deltas older A319-100’s and B717-200’s and those first class seats look amazing!!!
The Ultimate Airline fleet would be composed of A220’s, A321neo, A330neo and A350!
I'm willing to bet that's Delta's long term plan, looking at their order book.
90 A220s
35 A330-900neo's
100 A321neo's
25 A350s
The only order the have from Boeing is 12 more 737-900s
that’s what’s happening next year once the 100 a321neos come in to replace the older planes :(
Considering Boeing’s fallout with Delta which was never made up. I can picture Delta shifting all orders to Airbus which is a slap in the face for Boeing. Shifting from pure Boeing to eventually pure Airbus except for some left over 737/ and 767 in the end when all is completed
