Seat Selection Overview
The Airbus A220-100 is the smaller sibling of the A220-300, seating 100–125 passengers. It uses the same 2-3 cabin layout (5 across) and delivers the same exceptional comfort. Swiss International Air Lines is the launch customer and primary operator — it's a popular choice on thinner European routes.
Best Seats on the A220-100
- Seats A & B (2-seat section): Same as the A220-300 — the 2-seat left section has no middle seat. Window A + Aisle B is the perfect economy pair.
- Exit row seats: Exit rows on the A220-100 are valuable — especially exit row A (window in 2-seat section with extra legroom).
Seats to Avoid on the A220-100
- Seat E (middle of 3-seat section): The only middle seat on the aircraft.
Pro Tips
- Swiss's A220-100 business class features 1-1 seating on some configurations — extremely private for a short-haul intra-European flight.
