So....better to be fat on this aircraft rather than tall ?

Pretty much, whereas the MAX wasn't great for either build.

"Elevated" amenities. I hate the spin. Whom do they think they are fooling?

The amenities are hung on the wall, and so they are clearly elevated.

Sadly, the ratio of J and preferred seats on this aircraft is terrible when compared to the 320 series or the 7M8. As a guy who's 6'4", I'm quite disappointed.

Hi All - I am booked on a A220-300 on March 5th. First time on the craft. Preferred seats look a little wonky, so I booked exit row. Does anyone know if the exit row is set-up like the E90 with a standard seat-back tray table or does it have an arm rest tray table.

Thanks,
Dana

If this is for the YUL-LGA inaugural? Looks like the aircraft has been changed to A321. Anyone know the reason? I may need to be in Montreal in early March, and if my return date lines up, would love to be on the 223 than any other plan normally used on this route.

Bulkhead row looks great too. Lots of legroom.

I have a bunch of pictures I need to upload when I have the chance.

However I seem to recall that they are not as on the Max, i.e. that you cannot place your bags vertically. Not tall enough.

Left side vs right side? I seem to recall the bins on the DEF side are larger and can accommodate a standard roll-aboard on its side, while the bins on the AC side aren't as big, since there are 33% fewer pax on that side.

Pretty sure we were on the DEF side. But we were in J.

Yes, the bins on the DEF side can accomodate a roll-aboard bag on the side. My Away Carry-on fit nicely on its side. I didn't test the AC side.
