About the Airbus A220-300
The CS300 entered service with airBaltic in 2016. The family later became part of Airbus. According to Airbus, the A220-300 is 38.7 meters long, compared with 35.0 meters for the A220-100. The longer fuselage gives airlines more room to allocate to seating and service areas.
Seating capacity
Airbus lists 120–150 seats as typical for an A220-300 in two classes. Delta publishes a 130-seat plan with 12 Delta First, 43 Delta Comfort and 75 Delta Main seats. Those counts describe the plan on Delta’s aircraft page. Check the seat map attached to your flight, since the airline can assign a different configuration.
Cabin layout
In the full 2–3 rows described by Airbus, there are two seats on one side of the aisle and three on the other. The pair has a window and an aisle seat. Only the block of three has a middle seat. The airline’s map shows where rows differ, including premium sections, exits and service areas. Check the row as well as the seat letter if you are choosing two adjacent seats.
How to recognize an Airbus A220-300
Look for a narrow fuselage and one engine under each wing. Airbus lists the same 35.1-meter wingspan for the -300 and -100, but the -300 is about 3.7 meters longer. Side views at a similar scale make that difference easier to see. Use the registration to confirm the exact model when you cannot compare the proportions.
Variants and related aircraft
The FAA lists the A220-300 and its original CS300 designation under BCS3. The shorter A220-100 and CS100 use BCS1. The shared A220 family name identifies the design family. For radar filtering, use the exact model or its type code.
