Here’s a look at the actual layout and then a proposed alternative. Can they really justify having 36 First Class-style seats? Let’s do some math. This all feels very standard behind the wing, but up front, it’s pretty shocking. Then in the back, there are 80 “Nice” seats with the first row at 31 inches of pitch and the remaining 15 at 30 inches. Those have 33 inches of pitch, though it looks like one row has more than that. There are then 10 “Nicer” seats spread over two rows at the overwing exit. There are a whopping 36 “Nicest” seats - which look a lot like domestic First Class - filling up the entire cabin in front of the wing with 39 inches of pitch in each row. The breakdown is very, very premium-heavy. With that context, it’s somewhat surprising to hear that Breeze will have less density than all of them with only 126 seats onboard. Korean has 140 with no true First Class onboard, and airBaltic puts 145. Without extra legroom seating, Air Canada fits 137 seats onboard with 12 of those in First Class. Delta, for example, puts 12 First Class, 30 Comfort+, and 88 coach seats onboard for a total of 130 seats. ![]() The A220-300 is roughly a 737-700 sized aircraft. ![]() Let’s do the math to see if this makes sense. ![]() There are a LOT of premium seats on this airplane. There is, however, one thing that stands out. With all the speculation about flat beds and what else might be on the airplane, the reality feels pretty tame. Earlier this week, Breeze rolled out its first A220-300.
