North wind. Nordwind Airlines Location of seats on Boeing 777 200

On Rossiya Airlines Boeing 777-200ER aircraft (tail numbers VP-BLA and VQ-BNU), the cabin is divided into two classes: business and economy.

How to choose the best seats so that the flight is as comfortable as possible?

What are the best seats on the plane? In the aisle, in the middle, at the window? In the bow or tail? in our article.

Boeing 777-200ER Rossiya Airlines cabin layout

Business Class

The business class cabin uses a 2x3x2 seat arrangement. Seats in this class are located in rows 1 and 2.
The chairs are designated:

In the 6th row, the seats are arranged as in business class - in a 2x3x2 pattern.

Row 3
The first row of the economy class of suspended comfort has even more increased legroom compared to subsequent rows in this sector. In addition, I would consider the advantages of the absence of seats in front, proximity to business and economy class toilets. The seating arrangement is 3x3x3.

Rows 4 and 5
The seats in these rows have standard legroom for this sector. The advantages of all luxury economy class rows include their location relative to the aircraft cabin.

The luxury sector is located in the bow of the Boeing. The number of seats in this sector is much smaller than in “regular” economy class. During the flight, you will be spared people walking around the cabin and queues for the toilets.
Meal distribution starts from the nose and tail of the plane; you will be one of the first among passengers to receive food.

Row 6
The extreme row of this sector has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages include the layout of the seats according to the 2x3x2 pattern. For those flying in pairs, the ideal option is to book seats A, C and J, L. There are two seats located close to the windows and with good visibility, as in business class.

The disadvantages include the non-reclining seat backs. The Boeing 777-200 is used mainly for long-distance routes. A seat back fixed in an upright position can create some discomfort during a long flight.

Rows 10 to 43 are given to standard economy class. You will find out which are the best places in this sector and which should be avoided by reading the article to the end.

Row 10
By choosing seats in this row you will get the benefits of premium economy class for less money. A standard economy class ticket is cheaper, even if the airline asks you to pay extra for row 10 seats.

Passengers are provided with additional legroom and no seat in front. During the flight, your personal space will not be violated, because no one will lower the back of the seat in front.

Two steps away are toilets and a kitchen. According to flight practice, the majority of passengers prefer to use the toilets located in the rear of the Boeing 777-200.

The 10th row seats are arranged in a 3x4x3 pattern and have letter designations:

A B C D E G H J K L

The disadvantages, with a stretch, include placing hand luggage only on the shelf above the seats.
For lovers of landscapes behind the porthole, I do not recommend choosing the block of seats D, E, G, H. It is located in the middle of the cabin far from the portholes.

Rows 11 and 12
These two rows have standard legroom. The seat layout is the same as in the 10th row.
Actually, this scheme is used from 10 to 38 rows.

The view from the window in row 12 is partially obscured by the leading edge of the aircraft wing. Also, some discomfort can be caused by noise from the engines located on the wing.

Rows 13 to 28
The seats in these rows are located above the wing of the aircraft. If you are not bothered by the limited view from the porthole, these places have no other disadvantages.

Row 29
The seats in this row are located on the trailing edge of the wing. The view from the porthole will be limited. The seat pitch is standard.
The disadvantages are additional noise from the engines located on the wing and the seats in this row do not recline. Immediately behind it are the toilet rooms.

They are located in the middle of the cabin. There may be discomfort from passengers who frequently visit toilets and stand in line in front of them.

Freestanding chairs
In the Boeing 777-200ER of Rossiya Airlines, between rows 29 and 30 in the center of the fuselage there is a block of 4 seats located opposite the toilet with all the ensuing consequences. Formally, it belongs to the 30th row.

The seat backs in these seats do not recline, which creates additional inconvenience on long-distance flights. If possible, avoid choosing seats in this block.

Row 30
The central 4 seats have increased legroom and no seats in front. The downside is that the toilet is located nearby.

There is no wall in front of the side blocks of 3 seats, due to the emergency exits located in front of them. Due to this, there is much more legroom than in business class. When exiting, you don’t need to squeeze between your neighbors if your seat is by the window.

One of the disadvantages is the proximity of the central toilet, where economy class passengers from the central and rear sections will flock.

Rows 31 to 38
They have neither advantages nor disadvantages. The standard seating arrangement is 3x4x3, standard distance between rows.

Rows 39 to 41
The layout of the seats in this block is 2x4x2. I recommend choosing seats A, C and J, L. The advantages include a wide passage between blocks of two and four seats. The absence of a third chair and, accordingly, another neighbor.

Keep in mind that the structural narrowing of the aircraft fuselage begins from row 39. In blocks of two seats, the body with portholes will be located at an angle to the seats.

Row 43
The worst uncomfortable row on a plane. Located in the center of the fuselage and has only 4 seats. Opposite, on both sides, there are toilets, the doors of which go directly to seats D and H, there is no exit to the portholes. Behind the backrests, which do not recline, is the kitchen.

Rossiya Airlines began its operations back in 1992. During this time, the company gained great popularity among passengers, and now Rossiya is part of the Aeroflot groups. Every year the company transports a million passengers, increasing its route network. For all flights you need to have a good fleet in your arsenal. That is why the fleet includes modern aircraft, for example Boeing 777.

Specifications

The Boeing 777 appeared not so long ago, in 1994. The liners immediately became popular; many leading companies in the world ordered them. The airline has several such aircraft and several more are on order. Technical characteristics of the Boeing 777-300 the following:

  • Length – 74 meters.
  • Capacity – about 400 people.
  • Cruising speed is 905 kilometers per hour.
  • Flight range is up to 12 thousand kilometers.
  • The maximum flight altitude is 13,100 meters.

Boeing 777-300 is good for long-distance flights, which are often carried out by the airline. The liners are in excellent condition, because they entered service not so long ago. The average age of all aircraft is two and a half years. You should know that in general the entire Russian fleet is very new, the average age of all Boeings is 4 years.

Cabin diagram of a Boeing 777-300 Rossiya Airlines

The seats on the company's plane are located as follows:

Rossiya Airlines Boeing 777-300 divided for several classes:

  • Business Class. Located in the bow of the aircraft, it can accommodate 30 passengers.
  • Comfortable class. Located behind business class, the number of seats is 48.
  • Economy class. Standard service on board, accommodates approximately 330 people.

The seats are usually arranged according to the principle: 9 seats in a row or 10 seats in a row (4 seats in the middle, 3 on the sides). According to reviews from tourists, the Boeing 777-300 is a fairly comfortable airliner. Occasionally, people complain about uncomfortable seats, narrow aisles or the lack of windows in some seats.

The best seats on a Boeing 777-300

Look for cheap tickets for any type of transport without leaving your home:

When choosing places to fly, study the layout of the aircraft and listen to your desires. The picture shows a photo of the aircraft interior to make it easier to navigate:

  • From the first to the fifth rows - Business Class. There are two seats here, a total of 6 chairs in a row. The chairs themselves are quite wide, the distance between them is increased, which means there is more legroom. The chairs themselves are comfortable and soft.
  • Rows 11-16. These seats are in the compartment comfort class. The seats here are arranged according to the “2-4-2” pattern. The distance between the seats has been slightly reduced, resulting in less legroom. But this class has its pros and cons. The most uncomfortable row is row 11; its downside is that the partition in front of the seats is too close. In addition, there is a toilet nearby, which can interfere with your peace of mind during the flight.
  • 17th row. This is the first row economy class, there are no neighbors in front, so the seats won’t recline on you, and your legs can be straightened as you wish. Only in this row the side seats are arranged in pairs, while in others the seats are already arranged in groups of three.
  • Row 18, seats C and N. There are no neighbors in front, so there is plenty of legroom. These seats are located in the middle of the plane, the pitching will be minimally noticeable.
  • 24 row. Located after the emergency exits, there are no neighbors in front of you. But there is a toilet nearby, so unpleasant sounds and smells may reach you, this can be especially noticeable in seats D and G.
  • 38 row. Similar to 24. There is an emergency exit and a kitchen area nearby. But there is a lot of legroom.
  • Rows 47-49, seats A, C, H and K. From these seats, the side seats are again arranged in pairs. But because of this, the aisles do not become wider; it is quite possible that passing passengers or flight attendants will interfere with you.

Good seats in Boeing 777-300

Let's take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of Boeing 777-300 passenger seats:

  • 12th row, places C, D, G, H. All these places are side by the aisle. People will often pass here to the toilet, so they may disturb you, since the passages themselves are not very wide.
  • 20 row, window seats. The key word is “Window,” which may not even be there. Passengers often complain that there is no window in this particular row.
  • 23 row. These are the last seats before the exits; the backs of the seats here can be reclined. But behind you will be toilet, so people will often walk past you, especially the aisle chairs.
  • 36 row. Similar to row 23. Behind you will be toilet and technical rooms. The movement of people will be most noticeable in areas near the edge.
  • 50 row. The situation is similar with the previous rows. Toilets located behind your seats can be a nuisance recline the seat back, besides, people will often flash past you.

Worst seats on a Boeing 777-300

There are few bad seats on a Boeing 777. Each seat has its pros and cons. But these are the places you shouldn’t choose:

  • 37 row. The row is located in front of the buffet and toilet; the walls of these rooms will prevent you from reclining the backrests completely. In addition, the outer seats - D and G - will be touched by passers-by.
  • 51 row. The situation is similar to row 37. There is a buffet behind the chairs, which means that the backs of the chairs cannot be reclined.

Interior

Business class has comfortable leather seats. They have a folding table, comfortable armrests, and a plasma screen. The seats themselves can be reclined 180 degrees. The design of this part of the interior is usually made in classic colors - blue, red, white.

Boeing 777-300 business class looks something like this

Comfort class is very comfortable and spacious. The seats here are arranged according to the “2-4-2” pattern. The interior is slightly different from business class. The chairs here are not leather, the distance between them has been reduced. The seats are made in corporate colors. Not every flight offers this class of service.

Seat arrangement in comfort class Boeing 777-300 Russia

Economy class is the simplest in design; the seats are standard, but comfortable. Cabin layout may vary slightly from aircraft to aircraft. The main colors in the design are dark. The aisle and distance between rows are very narrow.

In general, the Boeing 777-300 of Rossiya Airlines is a large and comfortable airliner that is capable of carrying a large number of passengers over long distances.

Every year the number of passenger air travel is steadily growing and, as a result, the popularity of large and capacious aircraft of the Boeing “three-seven” series is increasing. The Boeing 777 holds the record for board size (among passenger aircraft) and flight range.

Liner device

The Boeing 777 is a wide-body aircraft with two engines and a turbofan (efficient and economical) engine. The wings of the airliner are located low relative to the body (low wing). The shape of the wing resembles an arrow (swept shape).

The hull and some elements of the aircraft (the floor in the cabin, the rudder in the cockpit, and others) consist of almost 10% of special alloys and materials, which affects both the strength and the overall weight of the aircraft. Boeing landing gear consists of 6 wheels.

The aircraft is fully equipped with a digital remote control system on a par with conventional steering wheels. The Boeing 777 was the first to use innovative technologies for convenience and comfort: a video screen mounted in the back of the seat, an electronic flight log. For the convenience of passengers, the size of the shelves has been increased.

For a comfortable long flight for the crew on the 777, a rest room with comfortable chairs and sleeping places was added above the head cabin.

The developers also did not ignore the aesthetic component: smooth lines of the interior, diffused light, large windows.

Main modifications of the aircraft and their features

Two indicators for comparison - aircraft length and flight range - allow us to distinguish several models in the Boeing 777 series. The Boeing 777-200 is considered the reference model, and the 777-300 is its modified extended version, which can accommodate up to 550 air passengers.

The difference between the 777-200 types lies in the flight duration parameters. The very first version of the 777-200 covered distances of more than 8 thousand km and was intended for domestic transportation in the United States. In 1995, work began on its modification. In simple terms, we needed an aircraft capable of even longer flights.

Additional letters ER mean " extendedrange"- increased range, 777-200 flies at a distance of 12 to 14 thousand km. It differs from the original version in that the aircraft's fuel capacity and take-off weight have been increased. The 777-200ER is designed for international flights, flights across the Atlantic. This model of the airliner has become the most popular passenger aircraft.

Additional letters LR mean " longerrange» – long range. The aircraft is capable of flights of more than 14 thousand km, and can “connect two opposite points” on the globe (Dallas - Tokyo, Singapore - Los Angeles). Boeing set a famous record for the longest flight distance (without landing) among passenger airliners, the 777-200LR flew more than 17 thousand km (17370 km).

It differs from previous versions by even greater take-off weight and three additional fuel tanks. The appearance is also slightly modified, with slightly more raked wings, reinforced landing gear and a powerful airframe.

Comparative characteristics of Boeing 777-200 models

777-200 cabin layout

The interior layout depends on two parameters:

  • configuration (position) and number of seats in the cabin
  • number of classes

The seats are arranged in rows, the number of which varies depending on the cabin configuration, from 43 to 62. The number of seats in a row also varies from 4 to 10. The fewer seats in a row, the more prestigious the class. The number of seats in the cabin ranges from 306 to 550 The arrangement of seats, kitchen and toilets is very diverse, and the layout of the cabin itself makes it possible, if necessary (or at will), to rearrange passenger seats and other elements.

The standard division into classes throughout the world involves 3 levels:

  • first
  • business
  • economy

But many airlines have their own categories. For example:

  • imperial, as a subspecies (or replacement) of the first,
  • premium or premium, somewhere it belongs to business class, and somewhere to economy class,
  • tourist, as a subtype of economy class.

As a rule, 777-200 aircraft have cabins with 2 or 3 classes, but in some cases there are 1 (440 seats) and 4.

Boeing 777-200 with 2 cabin classes

These are the classes:

  • business
  • economy

The level of high comfort - business class - is located in the front part of the aircraft. The chairs at this level are at a sufficient distance from each other, this allows you to recline your back, stretch your legs or place them on a special stand. On an aircraft with 306, 314 or 396 seats, business class is small, with only 6 to 10 seats in a 2-2-2 or 2-3-2 configuration, arranged either in rows or in a checkerboard pattern.

Economy class takes up most of the cabin. The seats are arranged differently depending on the aircraft: 2-5-2, 3-4-3 and 3-3-3. The distance between the seats is significantly smaller than in business class, which is especially inconvenient for tall people. The small distance between the seats does not allow you to recline the back, but only slightly tilt it (45 degrees).

Toilets are located in the central and aft sections of the cabin.

Boeing 777-200 with 3 cabin classes

These are the classes:

  • first (or luxury class, or imperial)
  • Business Class
  • economy

Sometimes there is a configuration of three classes: business, economy and tourist. In terms of quantity it comes out to 3, but in fact this is an aircraft with two classes of comfort: business and economy.

In the bow of the aircraft there is the best elite class - first or premium. Number of seats from 6 to 16, in 1-2-1 or 2-2-2 configurations. The chairs are more like mini-sofas, large, comfortable with reclining backs. This class has a separate toilet and its own kitchen.

Business class is more spacious (up to 42 seats) compared to the previous layout, but, in general, it is no different in terms of comfort. This classroom also has a separate toilet and kitchen.

In the center and tail of the plane is the remaining economy class, with an average of 180 seats. All characteristics of economy class are the same, regardless of the interior modification.

Boeing 777-200 with 4 cabin classes

These are the classes:

  • first
  • Business Class
  • economy
  • tourist

A distinctive feature of this form of layout is the division of economy class into two types: economy class itself and tourist class. They are no different in terms of seat layout or comfort level. The only thing: economy class is located in the center, and tourist class is at the rear of the plane.

The rows in the aircraft cabin are designated by Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3 ... 43), and the seats are designated by Latin letters (A, B, C ... K, L)

Pros and cons of seating arrangement, choosing a seat when purchasing a ticket

When choosing a seat, most passengers are guided by criteria such as:

  • class and level of comfort, and, consequently, the cost of the ticket
  • row, its proximity or distance to partitions and toilet
  • location in a row (in the center, near the aisle, closer to the window, etc.)

The most comfortable seats, but also the most expensive, are first and business class seats. The only downside of these seats is their cost. Accordingly, the more advantages according to the listed criteria, the more comfortable the flight. And vice versa.

At the very beginning of economy class, immediately after business class, there are partitions; they are always indicated on the layout diagram. Here, as a rule, there are toilets. And both factors make the first row of economy seats extremely uncomfortable.

Economy class is divided either into two parts (center and tail) or into tourist class. Between them is an emergency exit, or a partition, or a toilet, which in each case brings its own inconvenience to the last row of the central part of the aircraft.

But the first row of the tail section, on the contrary, is convenient because there is additional space. On long flights, this can be a deciding factor, regardless of whether there is a toilet nearby.

The last rows at the very back of the plane are characterized in the same way as the central ones: there is an inconvenient partition, which makes it difficult to recline the seat, a toilet and a constant queue for it. The only plus, especially for those who are afraid of flying, is the statistical fact of survival in plane crashes (more than 60% of survivors sat here).

The remaining places are considered standard in terms of convenience and comfort.

2 aircraft have a two-class configuration, and 8 have a three-class configuration.

These aircraft often fly on the following routes: Hanoi-Moscow, Ho Chi Minh City-Moscow, Nha Trang-Moscow.

Consider the interior of large aircraft. Their layout includes 54 comfort class seats, 25 business class seats, and 228 economy class seats.

    Ask an airline employee for advice

    If possible, carefully study the diagram of the airliner you will fly on.

    Do not take seats where the seats do not recline or are limited in their ability to do so.

    Do not take places near toilets, kitchens and other technical rooms at the very end.

    1-4 r. Business Class. There is a small clarification for this class - the last row is located close to the galley, and the first row to the toilets. The proximity to any technical room is always caused by unnecessary fuss. They will often walk by, and the sounds and lights from the kitchen will not allow you to have a good rest if you are on an overnight flight.

    10 rub. This is the first row of comfort class. let's designate it yellow for exactly the same reasons - the proximity of the galley and toilets.

    20 rub. - first row economy. The distance to the wall that separates the service classes is quite large. Therefore, there will be enough space for knees and legs. Another significant advantage of this row: no one will recline the back of the chair. This is important when there is a small step between rows in economy class. Let's note one of the disadvantages is that you will have to watch the entire flight at the wall. Folding tables are also located in the armrests, so they are fixed.

    24, 25 rub. there is no porthole. For some passengers, this circumstance is very important, especially during a long day flight. If you fly at night, this is not significant at all.

    31 and 32 rubles, marked in yellow on the plan. Proximity to toilets is always fuss, inconvenience, walking around at night and during the day. Also, you will be accompanied by the sounds of the door and tank. Also, the backs of the chairs, which are located directly against the wall of the toilet, do not recline. It is very inconvenient to be in a vertical state for the entire flight (especially if it is long).

    45 rub. There are emergency hatches in front of it. Safety approaches to them should be quite broad. Therefore, from the point of view of leg comfort, these are the best economy seats. But proximity to toilets reduces their overall level of convenience.

    57 and 58 r. similar to the previous ones.

A couple of general points about the seat arrangement in the Boeing 777-200ER - their disadvantages and advantages.

1. The seats that are located next to the window have the advantage that you can look out of it during the flight (this, of course, depends on the flight time and weather). If you fly at night, this advantage does not count. Also, your neighbor will not bother you if he wants to get up. These places have one drawback - it is not very convenient to leave it yourself. Therefore, if you don’t need to go to the toilet often or you intend to sleep through the entire flight, choose seats by the window.

2. The seats located near the aisle have their own advantage - it is very easy to get up from if you need to go to the toilet. The disadvantages are that a neighbor may be disturbed if he needs to get up. Flight attendants with trolleys and passengers who walk through the cabin to the galley and toilets can also interfere. Therefore, if you are flying with a child and, most likely, you will have to go to the toilet often. Or you yourself need to go to the restroom more often, then choose from the edge of the seat.
