Other notes: During the Christmas holiday, my family and I made our traditional Florida trip and stayed at our condo in Fort Myers for a few days. This time around however, we decided to try another new airline that recently started seasonal non-stop flights between RSW and CMH: Breeze Airways. We booked the "Breeze Ascent" seats, which are their wide and more spacious business class seats at the very front of the cabin. This and the returning flight were both about an hour late. I'm probably not gonna bother uploading the returning flight, which was flight #742 on N204BZ, another A220-300 (iirc). I sat on the same row but on the other side of the cabin, 2A. I kind of wish I sat on that seat on this flight so that I could see Downtown Columbus, but oh well. This was my first time flying on an Airbus A220, aka Bombardier CSeries, and my first time flying on one of these next generation aircraft with very big and quiet engines. The engines on these aircraft are notorious for that howl/whale sound they make on spool-up, which I think sounds pretty cool, but besides that they were pretty silent. I wish these engines had at least a subtle but still audible buzz during takeoff, like on the Airbus A350 and 737 MAX. The cabin was also really clean and felt fresh, and it felt like it was still a pretty new airplane. Enjoy!
