A319 and A320 aircraft are arranged in a three by three seat layout while D4-200 aircraft are arranged two by two. Middle seats in business class may be blocked to provide passengers additional personal space but this depends on demand. The hand baggage allowance per passenger is limited to one cabin bag (up to a certain size) plus a smaller handbag (e.g. either 1 handbag or 1 laptop bag or 1 briefcase).
The incoming A220 fleet will be set up in a two by three seat layout. All seats will feature USB A and USB C ports, as well as smartphone and tablet holders. The aircraft's spacious overhead compartments will allow for every passenger to accommodate one roller bag.
