It’ll also be my first time experiencing what the A220 was made for (long / thin routes), so the pressure is on to make this a thorough review! Boarding door picture complete. I’m very much looking forward to getting back on one of these airplanes again. Ok, here we go! My last flight on an A220-300 ( Delta A220-300 economy from Denver to Salt Lake City) was far too long ago. By the way, nobody here at the gate appreciated that joke as much as I did. Just as how fun it is when “the carpet matches the drapes,” it’s nice to see that the boarding pass matches the plane. It’s not like I was timing it right down to the second, but if I had to guess, it felt like 22(ish) minutes from the time they parked at the gate to the start of the boarding process for San Francisco. This was just a short stopover, and it didn’t take them long to freshen it up and restock it for the relatively long haul out to the West Coast. The plane operating our flight to San Francisco this morning came in from Tampa. The boarding process for flight number 116 to San Francisco It’s (by far) the bluest airplane I’ve ever flown to San Francisco on. Such a beautiful airplane! Looks like it’s N206BZ doing the honors today. Thank goodness for the reminder! Here’s the A220-300 that will be taking me to SFO this morning (it just arrived from Tampa). Going through security took all of 3 minutes, but…where am I again? Oh that’s right. One final reminder of where you are before proceeding through the security checkpoint (it’s easy to forget this early in the morning). Seriously, this is a really nice airport terminal. Imagine how disappointed the Breeze Airways management team must have felt when they found out that their check in area at RIC was going to be located adjacent to the Spirit check in area. There are plenty of food options, as well as lots of quiet nooks and crannies you can dip into to get away from the crowds. Terminal A is the smaller of the two terminals at RIC, but still a decent place to hang out before a flight. This is a beautiful airport! FYI, Breeze Airways uses Terminal A at the Richmond Airport I’ll spare you those pics since this a Breeze Airways review and not an airport review – but I can assure you that it kills me not to post ‘em up. That still didn’t stop me from taking a ridiculous amount of pictures of it before going back inside though. Having flown into RIC yesterday afternoon in Delta 757-200 first class from Atlanta, I already knew how nice this airport is. I needed to get footage for this review though, so that’s my excuse. It’s a midsize Airport which is very easy to access, so I can tell you that arriving two hours before your flight is beyond overkill. I arrived at the Richmond Airport at precisely 6:02 AM for the 8 AM flight to San Francisco. Arrival at the Richmond International Airport I figured it would be the best opportunity for me to see what the Breeze Airways “Nicest” seat is all about. They launched their Richmond to San Francisco service earlier this year, and it is currently the longest route in the Breeze Airways network. My full review of the Breeze Airways A220-300 “Nicest” seatīreeze Airways is a low-cost carrier with a focus on smaller secondary cities (mostly). Don’t give me wrong – it was a great flight, but a bit lacking in the amenities. However, the lack of onboard service made this relatively easy. Normally I’d have a hard time condensing a 5 1/2 hour flight into a video of 12 minutes or less. I had a lot of fun making my last Breeze Airways video, so even before going into this, I knew it was going to be a good time. The videoĮver since Breeze Airways announced that they were putting premium seats in their new Airbus A220 aircraft, I couldn’t wait to make a video about it. Our route from Richmond to San Francisco this morning as MX116. Seat: 5F (“Nicest” Seat) Breeze Airways A220-300 side view illustration by. Richmond, VA (RIC) – San Francisco, CA (SFO) They were by far the nicest on the whole airplane. The seats absolutely lived up to their name however. The lack of proper food and in-flight entertainment options makes it a budget premium economy experience at best. Is it business class? Or is it premium economy?Īfter experiencing it on a 5 1/2 hour flight from Richmond (Virginia) to San Francisco, I can tell you with absolute certainty that it is not business class. Prior to trying the “Nicest” seat on the Breeze Airways A220-300, I wasn’t really sure how to classify it.
