I will fly with Air Baltic in a few days from Zurich to Brussels. Thank you for the very informative video, I can't wait to take off! ✈

Nice pair of flights. My own experience of Air Baltic was in 2018 when I took a strange routing back to Glasgow from Kiyv. An Air Baltic Dash 8 Q400 flew me from Kiyv to Riga, then after a four hour wait an A220 flew me to Gatwick followed by a BA flight to Glasgow. I only did it as it was my first chance to fly in the A220. I was as impressed as you were. I also spent a pleasant couple of hours in that lounge using Priority Pass.

That really is good value, the food looked top notch notch, both in standard and first class. Will definitely be looking into that flight. Great video 😊

That's my no.1 international flight to want to do from ABZ. Its surprising they don't fly from Edinburgh or Glasgow. Aberdeen gets the honour. I see them as a good gateway to the likes of Vilnius, Talin and Helsinki, using Riga as my local hub to do short in & out visits - something that would actually make a good video subject for you some day. Also when relations hopefully normalise, to St.Petersburg and Moscow. Better to entrust these journeys using Riga as the connecting hub, because of the more generous seating, space and service on Air Baltic compared to the usual two leg alternatives, BA and KLM. I've also toyed with the idea of using Air Baltic to get to the middle east, believe it or not. Look at the timings yourself plus factor in the greater comfort and it may be a good idea.

Had a great flight with AirBaltic from Gatwick to Riga last year (and then Riga to Tallin to Gatwick). A fantastic airline and product offer, especially the meals, - the A220 is a beaut to fly on too ✈️

Hi Dom enjoyed the video when I was with Lewis on Bank Holiday Monday at London City Airprt we saw A220's of ITA Airways & Swiss International Air Lines. I believe the Air Baltic are operating flights for Eurowings & Swiss International Air Lines. Intersting to hear the sound of the Pratt & Witney engines from inside the aircraft. Glad you enjoyed your trip.

@drerri Ай бұрын

Never had any problems with them! And the cabin feels more spacious than it is because of the colour scheme and lighting.

@WorldWide_Dom Ай бұрын

I will definitely fly with them again, they offer a very good service.

Couldn't agree more! the A220 is a great aircraft so is Air Baltic as an airline.

Wow! This was really impressive in both economy and business class. The meal you purchased for €8 was superb value for money. I really liked the airport lounge in Riga and the quality of the business class service in the air. I really need to take a trip to Riga! Thanks for posting this video.

Excellent review, Dom. A220 is a stunning aircraft and seems an excellent match for Air Baltic - tho not sure I'd be up for that flight to DXB...

@WorldWide_Dom 2 ай бұрын

To be honest I’m tempted to try the DXB route to see how they are on a slightly longer haul route.

Hah yeah - would be intriguing to see how they differentiate it! rather you than me though…

Thanks for this, I am a frequent flyer for working reasons and tomorrow trying for the first time airbaltic business on a a220 from Tallinn to Amsterdam, I am very curious!

Here in Germany in a lunch counter (Imbiß in German) I would expect to pay 10€ for a lunch with a side-salad so that 8€ lunch was excellent value You were likely getting Latvian prices which if memory serves used to be a lot lower. They seem to be pretty go ahead as an airline and deserve to be patronised. I love those dividing curtains between business class and economy class seats. I was once on a flight between Arlanda, Sweden and Vantaa Finland on a plane with one of those curtains and we hit turbulence and the curtain fell down and hit the business class passenger on the head.

I agree the a220 is a great plane to fly on. I've flown Delta and JetBlue. I hope to be able to try air France, swiss and air Canada

@kerrys5540 2 ай бұрын

It depends on how you look at it if it's good value. Compared to other airlines I would say yes.. but when you compare it to economy is it? So for £100 more you have a little more leg room and a meal/drinks. That meal probably cost you £70 and you bough one in economy for 8 euros

@alexmcwhirter6611 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for this video. Great airline of quality. Unfortunately Air Baltic cannot grow with sixth-freedom traffic because of Riga's location. I mean Riga is well situated for connecting Europe with Russia but as we know that's not a possibility right now.

Can you tell when were you flying? Those economy meals do not sell for 8 eur anymore (something around 12eur today) as well as the drinks are removed now. When I saw this I was like - huuh 😮
