The Boeing 777 is considered one of the largest passenger aircraft over the past 20 years in Russian and world aviation. It is also called Boeng T7, which means Triple Seven, or “Three Sevens”.
The largest number of these airliners are operated by Transaero (14 aircraft) and Aeroflot (16 aircraft).
The layout of the Boeing 777 cabin, the best places to fly, technical characteristics - all this is in this article.
Short description
This Boeing model is the very first in history; its design was developed in the 90s of the last century without paper drawings, entirely on a computer using special programs.
This is the most reliable airliner in the history of aviation, which carries out long flights without a single stop.
The Boeing 777 belongs to the wide-body passenger aircraft. It has been in operation from 1995 to the present day.
The capacity is 305-550 people, the flight range is 9,100-17,500 kilometers.
Technical characteristics of the Boeing 777
It is the largest airliner in the world with only 2 engines. These are powerful General Electric gas turbine engines. The landing gear consists of 6 wheels, which makes it different from other aircraft.
Let's look at the technical characteristics of the Boeing 777 for modifications 200 and 300.

Interior and interior layout
The Boeing 777, as noted above, has several varieties. Each of the modifications has 3 or 4 salons - each has its own layout, which directly depends on the customer.
The interior of the cabins is dominated by curved lines, indirect lighting, and wide luggage racks. The size of the porthole relative to the earlier ones is 380x250 mm.
Economy class capacity is up to 555 people. The seats are arranged 10 in a row. Compared to the first Boeing 777 models, since 2011 the interior has been modernized, making it more modern.
In business class, the seats are arranged 6 in a row, and they fold out into a full-size bed, which is very convenient during long-distance flights. Due to the fact that the total number of seats is smaller than in economy class, there is more space here.
Imperial class is designed for the most comfortable and expensive flights. Increased attention, additional services, the best cuisine - all this for special guests.
The interior layout of a Boeing 777-300 operated by Aeroflot is shown in the photo below.
The best seats on the plane
Depends on the overall equipment of the cabin. When purchasing tickets, you can choose any seats, but it is preferable to find the most convenient ones so that the flight is pleasant and comfortable.
The best seats are located near the emergency exits: there is additional legroom. Comfortable seats on the Boeing 777-300 are considered to be those located in rows 11-16 - these are places where there are 3 seats in a row (except for those next to the toilet). Good seats are located near the aisle - there is an opportunity to stretch your legs for a short time, but with pleasure.
- if the modification provides double seats near the window, then when flying in pairs it is better to choose them;
In economy classes, the closer to the nose of the plane, the wider the distance between the rows of seats;
Those in the tail shake the most, those near the wings shake the least;
If the airliner is not fully loaded with passengers, then there are fewer people in the tail and, accordingly, more space.
Of course, these are average figures, since different airlines have their own nuances in the design of the cabins of the aircraft they own, and it does not matter that in essence they are the same Boeing 777.
"Transaero"
The Russian aviation company Transaero owns 14 Boeing 777 aircraft. Of these, 9 are modifications of the Boeing 777-200.
This company uses configurations with a passenger capacity of 306 and 323 people, 4 and 3 cabin classes, respectively.
On a passenger aircraft there are usually only 3 classes. But the airline company supplements the standard set with additional subclasses.
In Transaero they are as follows:
Imperial;
Business class (premium);
Economic;
Tourist.
A photo of the interior diagram of the Boeing 777 (Transaero) modification 200 is presented below.
In imperial class, all seats are as comfortable as possible for flights. There are only 12 seats in the cabin, which can be transformed into a bed if necessary and desired. Near each seat there is an LCD screen and a table for eating or working on a PC. Exit to the bathroom directly from the salon.
Business class (premium) contains 14 soft and comfortable seats. But in the fifth row there are seats whose backrests recline to a limited extent.
Economy class is a spacious cabin with a large number of comfortable seats.
There are several places here that are not as convenient as the others: near the bathrooms, near partitions and emergency exits (10th, 29th rows). The backrests of these chairs are limited in reclining.
Tourist class is a type of economy class. There are many comfortable seats here (for example, row 30, A, B, H, K). Less comfortable seats include seats C, D, E, F, G in the 30th row, 42nd and 43rd rows at the end of the cabin.
Aeroflot
This airline's Boeing 777 for long-distance flights sends modification 300. The passenger capacity of these airliners is about 400 people, 3 cabins, 3 classes:
Comfort;
Business class is located at the front of the aircraft. There are 30 chair-beds in the cabin, arranged in a two-two-two pattern. The cabin has its own improved menu, drinks, Internet, a retractable table for working at a PC, the ability to charge a mobile phone or computer, and an individual approach to passengers.
The comfort class salon has 48 seats. These are rows 11-16. Comfortable seats with a width of 49 cm allow you to fly in comfort. Near each chair there is a retractable footrest, which allows you to recline. There is individual lighting, a table, a monitor, and a socket for charging a mobile phone. In the 11th row there is fastening for a baby cradle. You can pre-order baby food separately. Not the most comfortable seats in this class are located near the toilet.
Economy class is the most crowded, with a passenger capacity of 324 people. The seats are arranged in a two-four-two pattern. For each passenger, Aeroflot provided a blanket, pillow, slippers, and a sleep mask. There is a monitor to brighten up the flight while watching a movie or listening to music. It is possible to use the Internet for an additional fee. The width of the seats is 43 cm. There are mounts for a cradle in the 17th, 24th, and 39th rows. You can ask for games and books for children - this is provided by the airline services.

Airlines operating the Boeing 777-200
The wide-body long-haul passenger aircraft is operated by many global air carriers.
The most famous operating companies:
- The Russian airline Nordwind Airlines (“North Wind”) has 6 Boeing 777-200ER modifications in its fleet.
- IrAero, a Russian carrier based in Irkutsk, operates 3 basic version aircraft on its routes.
- Turkmenistan's flagship carrier, Turkmenistan Airlines, has two Boeing 777-200LR passenger aircraft in its fleet.
- Singapore's national airline, Singapore Airlines, operates 8 aircraft of this model.
- The flagship carrier Ukraine International Airlines has 3 modern airliners in its fleet - Boeing 777-200ER.
The aircraft of this model is also in operation by Air Canada, Air China, Air France, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Korean Air, British Airways, etc.
Despite the release of new modernized Boeing 777 models, the 777-200 version of various modifications remains in demand among many air carriers around the world. Serial production of the passenger model continues.
In 1985-1989, Boeing decided to further develop the 767 family of aircraft. When creating a new project, specialists decided to increase the number of seats. Thus, it became possible to provide passengers with comfort during a long-distance flight. By the end of 1989, experts had chosen a design for the airliner, in which the wing was about 60 m, the fuselage diameter was 6.1 m and the number of seats was 350-410. The technical and visual characteristics of the aircraft showed excellent results. In the process of creating a new aircraft, the airliner at the same time received the well-known designation 777. Operation of the airliner continued until mid-October 1990. It was during this period that United Airlines decided to place an order for 68 aircraft.
What is Boeing design?
To create a new airliner design, specialists decided to use advanced scientific and technical solutions. When working to improve the airliner, specialists were able to use computer-aided design tools. This is the first Boeing aircraft to be equipped with a fly-by-wire control system (EDCS).
It is important to note that the modern airliner is equipped with an EFIS digital avionics system. Thanks to the presence of flat color liquid crystal displays, you can receive flight information. The EICAS digital system for monitoring the operation of on-board systems and the power plant is also responsible for this.
The Boeing 777 200 is equipped with an on-board system for diagnosing the condition of on-board systems. During the development of the new airliner, the TCAS in-flight collision avoidance system was installed. The production product was released in 1995. By early 1997, approximately 318 aircraft had been sold. The cost of one airliner was about $145 million.
The Boeing 777-200ER is a long-haul wide-body airliner. It is important to note that the 777-200 models have an increased take-off weight and, accordingly, increased flight range. The extended range Boeing 777-200ER Extended Range can carry from 314 to 440 passengers. Typically, the Boeing 777-200er “North Wind” transports its customers over distances of up to 14,310 km.
Note! The main purpose of the Nordwind aircraft is transatlantic flights.
Description of the aircraft cabin layout
Interior layout
In the process of creating the aircraft for Nord Avia, special attention was paid to customer requirements. According to experts, for this very reason it was possible to create an aircraft that meets all the needs of passengers.
Boeing 777-200 Nord Wind interior layout is as follows - Boeing 777-200ER is designed in a unique style. Boeing Signature Interior is a special edition with large luggage racks. The interior has indirect lighting. The width of the cabin (5.87 meters) allows you to fit up to 10 seats in a row. The size of the windows is 380×250 mm.
It is important to emphasize that the aircraft is created specifically for long-distance flights. Modern aircraft often install multimedia entertainment systems. Overall, the Boeing 777-200ER is considered a modern, quiet and comfortable aircraft. The 777-200ER first flew in October 1996. In addition, the company actively competes with the Airbus A330-300 models. Developing their business, specialists decided to create another model: 777-200LR. This is one of the longest-range airliners. The plane can fly up to 17,000 km.

Nord Wind Airlines and Boeing 777-200
It is important to note that the Boeing 777 aircraft is the leader among many airliners. It is the aircraft manufacturer's best-selling model. Many airlines around the world frequently order models in this category. The photo shows a diagram of the aircraft and the cabin.
Important! After nearly a quarter of a century in flight, the first 777 made its final flight - to an aerospace museum in Arizona.
The 777-200 prototype, call sign B-HNL, exited the production line in 1994, eventually entering commercial service with Cathay Pacific. The best Boeing Air models appeared in Hong Kong in 2000.
In recent years, aircraft in this category have made approximately 20,519 flights. That's about 49,687 flight hours.
Over time, the fleet of long-haul aircraft had to be significantly increased. The Russian airline Nord Wind took care of this. The airline had to put into operation the sixth wide-body Boeing 777.
The only operator that actively flew the Boeing 777-200ER (production serial number MSN 32718) was the Mexican national carrier Aeromexico. The Boeing 777-200 North Wind series aircraft received the onboard registration number VP-BJG. The aircraft was equipped with GE90 engines manufactured by American General Electric.
The cabin layout of the Boeing 777-200 airliner was developed in accordance with customer requirements. This model can carry about 277 passengers. To ensure comfort, passengers are served in the business class area. There are over 49 places available. The plane made its first commercial flight in the interests of Nord Wind to Phuket on April 11.
What is the Boeing 777 200
Features of the liner
The Boeing 777-200 is used for long-distance flights or on routes with high passenger traffic.
Important! The fleet of Nord Wind Airlines (or “North Wind”) includes 2 aircraft. These include all Boeing 777-200 models. It should be noted that the company did not purchase very new aircraft. Among air carriers, consumers from Asian countries should be highlighted. These are China and Vietnam.
The VP-BJB made its first flight in January 1998. Between 1998 and 2013 it was operated by China Southern Airlines.
The VQ-BUD aircraft made its first flight in September 1998. It was operated at different times by Aeroflot - Russian Air Lines and Vietnam Airlines. Nord Wind came into use in May 2014.
Interior layout
The aircraft's cabin has a two-class layout (business and economy classes). Capacity is 393 people. The aircraft is designed to carry many passengers, as the cabin can accommodate 70 more people. For example, Transaero's Boeing 777-200 can carry only 323 people. The Nord Winda airliner has a small space allocated for business class - only 6 seats. There are 387 seats allocated for the economy category.
The arrangement of seats played an important role. The seat layout of the air carrier Nord Wind is as follows: 3-4-3 (Transaero has a 3-3-3 layout). Unfortunately, this option is not suitable for long-distance flights. After all, the chairs are quite narrow, as are the passages between them.
Row 1. Undoubtedly, the business class of the aircraft should be highlighted. Despite this, there is nothing special in the cabin to ensure comfort during a long-haul flight. The distance from the seat to the partition is approximately 127 cm. The width of the seats is slightly larger than in economy class - 1.5 times wider. Passengers can take advantage of convenient retractable footrests.
Row 5-6. The first row of the Boeing 777-200 economy class is considered quite comfortable. The positive qualities include the fact that the first row is practically isolated. That is, sitting in the first row, it is impossible to see other passengers moving around the cabin.
What amenities are there in the cabin?
Despite the fact that Nordwing airliners are leading among competitors, experts drew attention to the shortcomings. The main disadvantage is the distance to the partition, since it is not very large. The passenger fits into the seat without any problems. But stretching your legs forward can cause problems. The distance between seats in the economy row is 71 cm.
Row 12. As a rule, the seats are located close to the kitchen. In this part you can see active movement. Not the best seats in the cabin for a flight.
Row 20. There are no rows from the front here. That's why this series is popular. During online registration, people tend to take this particular place. Since during the flight no one will recline the seat back towards the other passenger. There are also negative aspects, such as the lack of excess space. Nearby there is a kitchen and toilet area. Sometimes this is a bit of a hassle. It will be difficult to fall asleep in a calm environment.
Row 21. The most comfortable seats are considered to be zones C and H. There are no seats in front of these rows. A person with long legs can sit comfortably in his seat. The downside is that there is a toilet nearby.
Row 39. This row is considered uncomfortable. There are certain restrictions here, for example, the passenger will not be able to recline the backrest due to the presence of a partition. People move around this row because there is a toilet nearby.
Row 45. Although this row is considered good, it also has its negative sides. Seats are usually located near the emergency exit. When sitting in your seat, you can freely place your legs. Unfortunately, in this part the location of the toilet is not calculated in detail.
Row 53. This place is intended to narrow the fuselage of the aircraft. Mostly, the passenger feels discomfort due to the movement of the flight attendants.
Row 54-56. There are only 2 chairs on the outer seats. This seat is mainly aimed at couples who fly together and want some privacy away from other passengers.
Row 57-58 is the most uncomfortable place to fly. The main disadvantage is that the passenger will not be able to recline the seat. The high noise makes it difficult to sleep. Everything is constantly bustling here.
The Boeing 777-200 passenger aircraft (Boeing 777-200) is the first modification of the 777 series, a wide-body airliner for long-haul flights.
The Boeing 777-200 first flew on June 12, 1994. After some time, the plane became the property of United Airlines.
The ER modification has distinctive properties, for example, the presence of additional fuel capacity. This engine is designed for transatlantic routes.
A special feature of the LR modification is that it is one of the longest liners. In addition, this particular aircraft set the world record for the longest non-stop flight of a commercial airliner in 2005.
International flights of the Boeing 777-200 are carried out by the following airlines: Air China, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways and other major carriers; Emirates operates premium Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.
Note! The current operator of the Boeing 777-200 airliner in Russia is Nordwind Airlines.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the Aeroflot and Rossiya fleets use a more modern and longer Boeing 772 model. The airline's plans are to expand its fleet of aircraft and acquire several new models.
The Boeing 777-200 is an excellent airliner designed for ultra-long routes. It can accommodate several hundred passengers on board. The basic version was developed back in the 90s. Since then, more than 550 aircraft of this model have been produced and delivered (including two extended-range versions). Today Boeing 777-200 are used on intercontinental and transatlantic routes. Let's talk about the characteristics of the airliner, the cabin layout and the features of choosing a seat on the plane, which is very important during a multi-hour flight.
Features of the liner
The length of the aircraft reaches almost 64 meters, height - 18.5 meters. The wingspan is 61 meters. An empty plane weighs almost 140 tons, the maximum take-off weight is more than 247 tons. The Boeing 777 can rise to a height of up to 13 kilometers, reaching speeds of up to 965 km/h. It is capable of carrying from 314 to 440 passengers.
The Boeing 777 is the first airliner to be created without a single paper drawing, and designed entirely using computer graphics.
The base model Boeing 777-200 cannot boast of impressive flight range figures, since it was originally intended for domestic routes - it can cover just under 10 thousand kilometers.
Later, the 777-200ER modification appeared. It was distinguished by its increased flight range. The plane could cover up to 14.3 thousand kilometers and was intended for transatlantic flights.
The next option, the Boeing 777-200LR, has become the longest-range airliner in the commercial transportation segment. It is capable of flying over distances of 15.8 thousand kilometers, so it can easily connect two airports anywhere in the world.
The Boeing 777-200 is operated by airlines such as Emirates, KLM, Qatar, British Airways, Air France and others. Nord Wind and Iraero have long-haul airliners in their fleets.
Interior layout
There are several options for the layout of the airliner's cabin.
- The most spacious one is the one-class option, where only one economy class is provided - this Boeing is capable of accommodating up to 440 passengers in the cabin.
- The Boeing 777-200 in a two-class configuration (economy plus business) seats up to 400 people.
- The capacity of the liner with a three-class layout is 301-305 passengers.
Features of choosing chairs
Before moving on to specific layouts, we will give some general tips. Pay attention to the rows that are located in front of partitions and emergency exits - the angle of the seat backs here is usually limited. Spending 10 hours without the ability to properly sit back and relax is a rather dubious pleasure. So you should choose these places only as a last resort - when there are no other options.
On the one hand, sitting in places located near the bathrooms is convenient because you don’t have to walk far. On the other hand, here in the aisle there will constantly be queues of other passengers, so one can only dream of peace.
If you are flying with a small child, check with airline representatives to see if the aircraft cabin is equipped with mounts for baby bassinets. If yes, then declare your intention to take these places in advance, because there may be many applicants.
Seats after emergency exits have one undeniable advantage - the distance to the seat in front is much greater here than in standard rows. But such seats, as a rule, are paid for - airlines position them as seats of increased comfort. At the same time, not everyone will be able to sit here, but only those who meet the security criteria. Children, pregnant women, and passengers with disabilities cannot be accommodated here.
Salon Boeing 777-200 ER "Nord Wind"
NordWind Airlines' fleet includes six Boeing 777-200ERs. All liners have a one-class layout and are designed for 440 passengers. The layout of airliner cabins differs depending on the ship, although the differences, as a rule, relate to the layout of some rows, as well as the location and number of bathrooms in the cabin. To decide on a seat, find out in advance the tail number of the aircraft you will be flying on, and then find its layout on the airline's website.
As an example, consider the diagram of a Boeing 777-200 ER with tail number VQ-BUD.
A diagram of the airliner's interior can be studied at the link.
The salon is divided into three blocks. There are three kitchens, located at the beginning and the tail. There are also restrooms at the beginning, middle and end of the plane - there are nine in total.
The seating arrangement in most rows is as follows: three seats on the left, four in the center, three on the right. At the beginning and tail of the plane there are rows where there are two seats on the left and right.
Despite the fact that all seats belong to economy class, the carrier distinguishes three subcategories of seats among them:
- Comfortable places. They are distinguished by increased legroom. These include rows 1, 12, 13, 36 and 37. These seats can only be selected for an additional fee. Prices are 1000-1500 rubles on domestic flights and 20-75 euros on international flights.
- The preferred rows are the three rows following the “comfortable” rows. Prices here range from 500 to 700 rubles on domestic routes and from 15 to 50 euros on international routes.
- All other seats are classified as standard. But even here there are both more and less successful chairs.
In addition to more space, the first row seats are also distinguished by the presence of mounts for baby bassinets. So there is a high probability of being in the neighborhood with small children - and they, as you know, are not always calm.
Rows 2, 3 and 4 are preferred seats. Here you will be served earlier, and upon arrival you will be the fastest to leave the aircraft cabin.
Two more luxury seats are located in the third row (seats 3C and 3H). Since there are only two chairs in the first two rows near the windows, no one sits in front of the passengers, due to this the space increases and you can safely stretch your legs into the aisle.
Rows 5 to 11 are standard seats of the first block. The peculiarity of the 10th row is that there are only seven seats here (in a 2+3 layout); on the right, instead of seats, there is a technical unit. And in the 11th row there are only 4 seats in the center.
The second block includes rows 12 to 35. There are also comfortable seats here (DEFG seats 12 rows, HJK seats 16 rows and ABC seats 17 rows). There's enough legroom up front to stretch them out. The peculiarity of rows 16 and 17 is that there are mounts for cradles. But the disadvantage of the 12th row is the placement of the seats in the center of the cabin - so passengers will not be able to admire the views from the window. Another disadvantage of all the above rows is the proximity to the toilets, so it will always be crowded and noisy.
Following the comfortable ones are three “preferred rows” (ABC seats from rows 18 to 20, DEFG seats from rows 13 to 15, HJK seats from rows 17 to 19).
The worst places are the seats in the last row of this block (row 35). Due to the close proximity to the partitions of the technical units, the seat backs do not recline. The remaining rows of the block are standard seats.
The third block of seats also starts with luxury seats (DEFG seats 36 rows, ABC and HJK seats 37 rows), then three rows of “preferred” paid seats, then standard seats.
The peculiarity of the layout in the third block is that, starting from the 47th row, there are not three, but two chairs near the windows. The reason is the design feature of the airliner and the narrowing of the fuselage.
Boeing 777-200 Iraero: interior diagram
Another Russian carrier that uses the Boeing 777-200 is Iraero Airlines. Its planes feature a two-class cabin layout. The capacity of the liner is 371 passengers.
You can see the interior diagram.
Business class is designed for 11 people. There are two rows of seats - all of them are comfortable and comfortable.
Economy class starts from the 3rd row and is designed for 360 passengers.
All seats in rows 3, 8, 26, as well as ABC and HJK seats in row 27 are considered the best. These seats are located behind business class and emergency exits, so there is more space here than in other seats.
The worst places are the last rows of each block. These are rows 25, 39 and 40. Due to the location behind the technical blocks, the seatbacks are limited in reclining. You should not choose seats C and H of row 35 - due to the narrowing of the fuselage, the backs of these seats also do not recline, so you will have to spend the entire flight in one position.
The rest of the places do not differ from each other in terms of comfort.
03.01.2020, 16:49 104787
The Boeing 777-300 ER is a long-range wide-body aircraft, a modification of the 777-300 with increased take-off weight and capacity.
The Boeing 777-300ER modification has beveled and extended wingtips, new main landing gear, a reinforced nose gear and additional fuel tanks. The fuselage, wings, empennage and engine pylons are also strengthened.
The standard GE90-115B turbofan engines for this model are today the most powerful jet engines in the world and have a maximum thrust of 513 kN. The maximum range is 14,690 kilometers, which was made possible thanks to the increased maximum take-off weight and fuel reserve. The 777-300ER's fully loaded range is increased by approximately 34% compared to the 777-300. After flight tests, the introduction of new engines, wings and an increase in take-off weight, fuel consumption decreased by 1.4%.
The first Boeing 777-300 ER was delivered to Air France on April 29, 2004. In September 2010, the Boeing 777-300ER became the best-selling modification of the Boeing 777, surpassing the 777-200ER.

Interpretation of interior diagram symbols
Cabin layout, the best and least comfortable seats on the Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft of Aeroflot airlines
Today, Aeroflot airline actively operates 16 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft. The aircraft cabin comfortably accommodates 402 passengers and 3 classes of service: business (30 seats), comfort (48 seats) and economy (324 seats).
Best places
Business class - first 5 rows.
All the places here are convenient and comfortable. Modern design, individual menu, entertainment system and excellent service.
Comfort class from 11 to 16 rows.
A separate cabin is provided for this class. The name of the class speaks for itself. There are very comfortable seats here, the backs of which do not recline back, and the surface “moves” forward without interfering with the passengers sitting behind you. Each chair is equipped with its own hanging light source, footrest, large comfortable folding table and 10.6-inch monitor. Meals: hot dishes from the business class menu.
- 17th row seats A, C, H, K. The best seats on the Boeing 777-300 of Aeroflot airlines. There is enough legroom and the backrests recline well. There are two seats, which is ideal for a flight for two.
- 18 row C and H. Comfortable places. There are no chairs in front of them and there is enough free space to stretch out their legs and take a comfortable position.
- Good places marked in green are in 24 and 38 rows . The emergency exits located in front of them suggest an increase in free space in front. However, for safety reasons, elderly passengers, passengers with children and animals, disabled people and pregnant women should not sit here. You also cannot block the approaches to the hatches with your hand luggage.
- Seats from rows 47 to 51: A, C, H, K. Due to the narrowing of the fuselage, there are two seats, which are ideal for flying as a couple.

Worst places- Comfort class, 11th row. There is a partition in front of the seats in this row, so there is not much legroom. And the chairs numbered F, G, H and K are closest to the toilet. Moreover, this is a toilet for business class; for passengers of comfort class there is a toilet in the economy class cabin.
- Comfort class, in rows 12, 15 and 16 The porthole is located inconveniently.
- 20 row. There is no porthole.
- Rows 17, 24 and 39, places D, E, F, G. The huge advantage is that there are no passengers in front and no one will lean back on you. But you will have to look at the wall the entire flight, and you won’t be able to stretch your legs out in front. Also, row 24 is close to the toilets, and row 39 is close to the kitchen. This is unnecessary fuss around these places.
- Seats in rows 23, 36, 37, 50, 51 located near toilets and kitchens, which may cause slight discomfort. But here the backs of the seats recline and it is comfortable during the flight.
- Seats 24 and 38 rows located behind emergency exits, so there is a lot of free space in front.
- Seats in row 46 , C and H. The backs of the seats here “stick out into the aisle” a little, so they can be touched by passengers and flight attendants with trolleys.
- First class (1-2 rows) . The most comfortable for the flight. There are very comfortable chairs that recline almost 180 degrees, an exquisite menu, and high-level service.
- Business class (from 6 to 11 rows) . Also very comfortable chair-beds, the pitch between the rows is about 1.5 meters. There are some notes on the places of this class:
- Rows 7 and 8 are close to the kitchen and toilets. These are busier places during the day and night hours alike. Places 7A and 7K Moreover, they do not have a porthole.
- 11 row located closest to economy class. There is a very thin partition, so the noise is not blocked.

Economy class (from16 to 50 rows).- 16 row - this is a standard row in front of the partition. There are mounts for baby bassinets here, which is very convenient for parents, but being close to small children can make the flight uncomfortable for other passengers. Folding tables and an individual screen are placed in one of the armrests, making it immovable. In seats in this row, hand luggage cannot be placed on the floor during takeoff and landing. The big advantage of these seats is the absence of passengers in front and the confidence that the back of your seat will not be thrown back on you.
- 21 row. The backs of the chairs rest against the wall of the toilet and are limited in reclining. Also, the places are located next to the toilets, and this is always unnecessary fuss, walking and extraneous sounds.
- 23 row. There are toilets nearby. Places 23A and 23K do not have a full-fledged porthole. A small window is placed on the emergency door. The table and monitor are located in the armrest. Passengers with children and animals, disabled people and elderly people are prohibited from staying in these places. Walkways must not be blocked by hand luggage. A big plus is the ample legroom.
- Rows 35 and 36 located close to the kitchen.
- 37 row has the same pros and cons as 23. Plus, the free space in front is often used by passengers from other rows to take a walk and stretch their legs.
- 38 row D, E, F, G - good places. However, they are primarily used for passengers with small children.
- 45C and 45H - the backs of the seats protrude slightly into the main salon. They can be grabbed by passing people and flight attendants with trolleys.
- 48 A, B, J, K - the seat backs are limited in reclining. The in-flight entertainment server is located under the seat in front. This results in less legroom.
- 50 row - the backs rest against the kitchen wall and the toilets are close.
