How to spot one

✓Enormous passenger windows — visibly larger than anything else at the gate
✓Tall, single-piece upswept winglets on a slender carbon wing
✓Short, rounded nose that looks almost bizjet-like
✓Listen for the low geared-turbofan hum instead of a whine on approach

Born as Bombardier's clean-sheet C Series and adopted by Airbus in 2018, the A220 is the airplane that proved a small narrowbody could feel premium. It pairs a carbon wing with Pratt's geared turbofans for a near-silent cabin, and pilots rave about its big-jet fly-by-wire manners. It quietly reshaped the 100–150-seat market that the 737 and A320 had abandoned.
