Boeing 737 cabin seating arrangement. Plane layout and classes of service

The 737th is one of the most successful models of the American aircraft manufacturer The Boeing Company, as well as the most widely used airliner in the world. Since 1967, more than seven thousand machines of this modification have already been produced. And even today, the Boeing 737 continues to be produced and is in great demand among air carriers around the world. Its main competitor in the air transportation market, among narrow-body passenger aircraft, is the Airbus A320.

The Boeing Company, in production today, has nine variations of the 737, these are different modifications of 737-600, 737-700, 737-800 and 737-900. The Boeing 737 version can be chronologically divided into three groups - Original (first generation), Classic (second generation) and Next-Generation (third generation).

Generation Original (Models -100, -200)

The aircraft was first presented to the public in 1964, and in February 1968 it took to the skies for the first time. After that, the liner entered service with the airline. This was the 737-100 version, which was later modified into the more successful 737-200. The Boeing 737-200 was released in 1988. For air carriers, a total of more than 900 aircraft of this type were sold. The Boeing Company initially planned from 60 to 85 passenger seats in its aircraft, but after consultation with its first client, the number of seats was increased to one hundred. By increasing the number of seats in each row, Boeing prevailed over its rival DC-9

Generation Classic (models -300, -400, -500)

In the early eighties, the Boeing 737 underwent a significant upgrade. The Boeing company has increased the number of passenger seats in the new model range. These modifications allow carrying up to 150 passengers. Aircraft power has increased. The plane was equipped with new engines and the latest avionics. The flight range has been increased. Harmful emissions have decreased. They began to meet the new standards. Boeing used a brand new CFM56 engine that had lower fuel consumption and also met strict noise limits. The wings of the aircraft were also modified. The aerodynamics have become better. Thus, successful models arose, 737-300, -400, -500, which can satisfy most airports in the world. The Boeing 737-300 took off in 1984 and was discontinued in December 1999.

In 1986, the company began to develop an expanded version marked as Boeing 737-400 with more powerful engines and a capacity of 170 passengers. It has become longer than its predecessor by three meters. Production of this model ended in 2000. The smallest and youngest member of the second generation, the 737-500, capable of carrying up to 132 passengers, entered service in February 1990. Before the end of production of 737-500 in 1999, more than 350 units were delivered to the airline.

Generation Next-Generation (Models -600, -700, -800, -900)

In the mid-nineties, the creation of the third generation of the Boeing 737 was started. This generation includes modifications -600, -700, -800 and -900. Unlike previous versions, the -800 and -900 models have undergone significant technological improvements.

One of the most important improvements is the presence of the Head-Up Display (HUD), which is used in military aircraft. The HUD is a transparent display that sits between the pilot and the cockpit window. All important data is projected onto it, such as altitude, speed, location and more. During takeoff and landing, a schematic representation of the runway is displayed on it, which allows the 737 to fly even in very poor visibility.

These versions were fitted with the new CFM 56-7B powerplant. The number of seats on the Boeing 737-700 is identical to the 737-300 version. The first 737-700 was delivered in 1997 to Southwest Airlines. Late version 737-800 is a modern variant with a longer range up to 5765 km and with 189 passenger seats. The 737-800 is a successful third generation 737 with over 900 units sold.

Demand for a variant similar to the 727-500 but with longer range led to the development of the 737-600 version. The Boeing 737-600 first flew in 1998. Boeing 737-900ER is the largest in the 737 family with a range of up to 6045 km. This model entered flight service in 2007.

The Boeing 737-800 passenger liner is an elongated modification of the previous model - 737-700. It has been in serial production since 1998. Its main competitor is the Airbus A320. The photo of the Boeing 737-800 shows the standard cabin equipment, which differs for different airlines. This can explain some inconsistency in reviews of the flight of various passengers. This model is used by a number of carriers, including Ryanair, Viking Airlines, Sky Airlines, United Airlines, Aeroflot, Transaero and many others.

Note! Directly on the ticket that you buy, the seat in the cabin is not indicated. The seat number will be indicated on the boarding pass.

You can choose a seat not when booking or buying a ticket at the box office or on the website, but at the registration stage. However, keep in mind that at the airport you will not have enough time to consider the location of the seats, besides, the scheme of the Boeing 737-800 or another model will be absent before your eyes. If you want to take a particular chair, please choose a seat in advance at home. To understand where the best seats are on board the aircraft, the Boeing 737-800 cabin layout, which is presented below, will help. In this section, we will consider the seats in relation to the aisle.

If you have a fear of flying, ask an airport worker to seat you near the aisle. So you will be at the maximum distance from the porthole, you will not be tempted to look out the window, and you will also be able to get up from your chair without hindrance, and you won’t need to disturb your sleeping neighbor if you want to go to the toilet or just stretch your legs. However, please note that you will have to release fellow travelers, and you may also be accidentally hit by other passengers and flight attendants who will pass by.

As practice shows, the most uncomfortable place is located in the middle, especially when strangers sit on the sides. It will be difficult enough for you to leave your seat, in addition, there is no “own” armrest either.

There is more space in front of the seats at the level of the escape hatches compared to other places

Where are the best and worst seats on a Boeing 737-800?

The configuration of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft is somewhat different not only for different carriers, but also in the fleet of one company there may be different variations. For example, Transaero has at its disposal Boeing 737-800 for 144, as well as 158 seats. The difference lies in the presence in the first case of the imperial class in addition to the business. The economy class cabin of the second modification can accommodate 9 more seats, and there is no imperial class.

Aeroflot added a new Boeing 737-800 to its fleet for 158 seats in 2013. He was assigned tail number VP-BRF. It is worth noting that most of the places are neutral in terms of comfort level, although there are a few features. Consider them on the diagram of the Boeing 737-800 Aeroflot aircraft, the best places in the picture are highlighted in green, the contradictory ones are in yellow, and the bad ones are in red.

Scheme of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft

Rows ##1-5 belong to the business class, the "general" cabin starts from the sixth. If you are worried about not having enough legroom, feel free to ask to be placed in row number 6, as there will be no other seats in front. The best places are in row number 13 level with emergency hatches.

Note! For safety reasons, not all passengers are allowed to be placed in row number 13, since in the event of an emergency, people who are closest to the emergency exits will have to open them. Seats in rows Nos. 12 and 13 not allowed to be occupied by the disabled, passengers with children or animals.

Despite the abundance of opportunities to get to any corner of the world, one of the fastest and most convenient ways is considered to be traveling by plane. Often, airlines use Boeing 737 series aircraft of various modifications to deliver passengers. The American corporation "Boeing" began to produce these liners from the end of the 90s of the twentieth century (the first tests of the industrial design took place in 1998) as opposed to the legendary model of the entire passenger aircraft "Airbus A320". "Boeing 737-200" (300, 400, 500) were originally produced with a smaller number of VIP-class seats (2 rows of 2 seats on both sides of the central aisle, total - 8 seats) and only in the 737-800 model they became reach the number of 12, 16 and even 20.

Currently, the aircraft has about 10 modifications, including the Boeing 737 800W liner, equipped with wiggles (vertical wingtips upwards) and even a model for the transfer of military personnel. Many companies have equipped their fleets with these aircraft, buying them on lease or on a prepaid basis. The Dubai airline "Fly Dubai" did not bypass them with its attention.

general information

Fly Dubai Aircraft Design

Flydubai is a budget airline established by the Dubai government in 2008 and assigned to the second terminal of the Dubai airport. Since 2009, as a result of acquiring ownership of the aircraft, the organization began to operate regular flights to Jordan, Amman, Beirut and Lebanon. By the beginning of 2014, the number of flight destinations covered by the company, as well as the aircraft fleet, had increased several times and reached 68 different settlements. By the middle of 2014, the fleet of aircraft in use by the airline was replenished with the fortieth unit, the total period of use of which did not exceed 5 years.

Note! The corporate identity of the company's aircraft, designed by designer Martin Snelling, stands out in the sky thanks to the bright orange and blue stripes on the aircraft's body. The former speak of the warmth of relations with passengers, while the latter remind of the vast expanses of blue skies, seas and oceans.

From the inside, the aircraft is equipped with a personal electronic entertainment system, a comfortable modern interior with an increased volume of luggage racks, a number of seats and floor-to-ceiling space (allows even professional basketball players to get up from the seat at full height). Flydubai became the first company to receive the Boeing NG aircraft of the third generation (Next Generation) of the most convenient modification 737-800 with a Sky Interior flying cabin.

Economy class seats Boeing 737 800 NG

The cabin of this model of the liner is equipped with the Inflight Entertainment (IFE) system and monitors built into all the boarding seats of the liner, and not just in the VIP-zone seats, as in all the others. The left side of the user-friendly interface includes paid services (duty-free food and shopping, movies, series), while the right side includes non-commercial services in the form of flight information, audio channels and games.

It usually takes passengers no more than 30 minutes to familiarize themselves with the new features of the cabin and the Inflight Entertainment (IFE) system. And the rest of the time can be spent playing games, tracking the location of the liner on an interactive map, making purchases of goods available from flight attendants and ordering coffee, water and any other food without getting up.

Design features and main technical parameters of the liner

Most of the aircraft fleet (21 airliners with economy class cabins for 189 landing seats and 14 aircraft with 12 VIP class seats and 162 economy seats) of Fly Dubai are turbofan narrow-body passenger aircraft Boeing 737-800. The characteristics of an aircraft performing regular air travel are as follows:

  • double-circuit turbofan engines CFM International CFM56-7B24s with a thrust of 107.6 kN or CFM56-7B27s with a thrust of 121.4 kN, allowing to increase the carrying capacity of the liner;
  • digital avionics EFIS, North American company Honeywell and 6 multifunctional LCD monitors for displaying all flight and onboard data;
  • the length of the airliners is 39.49 meters, the wingspan and area are 34.31 m and 125 sq. m. respectively. The height of the aircraft reaches 12.51 meters, and the maximum developed speed is 851-920 km/h. At the same time, the volume of fuel tanks does not exceed 26,020 liters, which allows flights to a distance of up to five thousand four hundred kilometers. The width of the cabin is 3.54 meters, and the number of crew seats does not exceed two;
  • one-class cabins up to 189 seats and two-class cabins - up to 162 economy class seats (the number of seats may vary depending on the aircraft modification purchased by a particular airline).

Seat selection

Let us consider in more detail the layout of the rows and the layout of the cabin of the Boeing 737-800 "Flydubai" for the optimal selection of a seat for travel. We take into account the configuration of the cabin to determine the best and most comfortable seats, as well as less comfortable, from the point of view of practice, flights over long distances.

Aircraft B. 737-800" of Flydubay may contain seats of one or two comfort classes. The most convenient and safe are:

  • ergonomic business class chairs;
  • first row after the VIP zone;
  • the first rows of the economy class cabin of the aircraft;
  • 15th and 16th row near emergency exits.

The layout of the seats in the cabin "Boeing 737-800" company "FlyDubai"

Description of seats depending on their location in the cabin

Rows: 4 or 1 (if there is no partition separating the VIP area from economy class seats or business class seats), 15, 16 - seats with extra legroom;

Rows: 14, 15, due to safety measures, are fixed in such a way that the backs do not recline;

Rows: 15, 16 due to proximity to emergency exits are not intended for passengers with children under 16 years old, animals and the disabled.

The number of seats in economy class only and VIP cabins varies from carrier to carrier and model to model. Therefore, it is important to study the parameters of the location of seats in the cabin before buying tickets. It would be useful to know that Pobeda Airlines has in its fleet the majority of aircraft with a similar seating configuration in the aircraft cabin.

Note! The last row of seats in any modification of the Boeing 737-800 is considered the most mediocre in terms of comfort and convenience, since it is located right next to the toilet.

Considering that there are only 3 restrooms in the liner (1 - in the "head" and 2 - in the tail of the aircraft), then a constant queue, and therefore noise, and not always pleasant smells - all this awaits passengers traveling in the last seats. Do not discount the state of turbulence (the area of ​​\u200b\u200bwaves in the air, which creates a specific shaking of the aircraft).

The first rows, if not given over to the VIP zone, are very convenient when traveling. It is always quiet here, the shaking is almost not felt, the places are serviced by stewards in the first place, and also contain a wardrobe and special fastenings for baby carriages. But the very first seats, if the entire aircraft contains only economy category seats, are located immediately after the staff rooms, and, therefore, have a partition in the form of a wall, which will be very inconvenient for people suffering from claustrophobia (fear of enclosed space).

Seats in rows "A" and "F", located near the windows, are contraindicated for passengers who are afraid of heights. The seats located in the center (row "B" and "E") should not be taken by solo travelers, since, in addition to other irritants, they will be "clamped" on both sides by strangers.

Considering the fear of some people before flying, to feel “relative” safety, one should choose seats in the VIP zone, and if it is absent, then in the head of the liner, due to their proximity to the pilots and staff, as well as the seats of the 15th and 16th row due to for their equipment with emergency emergency exits.

Note! The seats of the 15th and 16th rows are among the most convenient, as they are located with a large distance between the rows, but they can only be occupied by adults and healthy persons (without disabilities), traveling without children and pets. In a critical situation, it is they who are assigned the mission of opening emergency exit hatches.

For novice travelers, to get a positive flight experience, the following tips on choosing passenger seats will help:

  • If possible, do not take tickets for seats in the last row and those that do not recline (How many seats in the Boeing 737-800 have similar functionality limitations, you can find out before purchasing an air ticket).
  • Before the flight, study the seating chart of the aircraft cabin or ask an airline company representative for advice on selected seats.
  • Do not choose the first row seats (does not apply to salons containing business class seats) and near the porthole for people who are afraid of confined spaces, flights and heights.
  • Do not choose places in the center for people traveling alone.

With a careful and responsible attitude to the process of selecting an air carrier company, sitting in the cabin of an airliner and following the above recommendations, a positive flight experience is almost always guaranteed. With the experience of flying, the choice will be given each time easier and easier, and the sensations of turbulence and not always adequate cabin neighbors will no longer be a stress for the psyche.

The Boeing 737-800 belongs to the narrow-body aircraft, the cabin layout and the best seats on the plane are of great importance when choosing. This information must be found initially before registration takes place.

If you are flying for the first time, then it is especially important for you to know where is the “best” place. But for people who often have to fly charter flights, this will not hurt either. After all, they can constantly complain about all sorts of inconveniences from the air carrier, although it would be possible to choose a more comfortable place and enjoy the flight, and not be constantly in discomfort.

Salon scheme

The body (fuselage) of an airliner has a smooth narrowing in the front and rear. The total length of the Boeing is 39.5 m capable of accommodating from 162 to 189 seats. The drawings provided by Aeroflot illustrate its characteristics in great detail, namely, each row, class, number of seats and the location of emergency hatches.

The best seats on the plane

Boeing 737-800 Aeroflot cabin layout The best seats may seem the most comfortable for one passenger of the aircraft, and not so much for another. Since everything is very individual, we will consider good places from the point of view of the average person.

The Boeing 737 800 passenger airliner can be either two or one class. Convenient and comfortable places are the chairs located in the "economy" in the 6th and 13th rows. The most excellent rows, of course, are the "business" rows, from one to five. But do not be very upset, since the 11th and 12th rows are also quite good for themselves.

General principles for seating passengers

Every person is afraid of something, heights, darkness, and someone is afraid of flying, but is forced in connection with work or because it is impossible to get to another country otherwise. Based on this, the passenger can choose the row in which he will be most comfortable and where he will feel sufficiently protected.

  1. Passengers in first class.
  2. Passengers with seats at the windows.
  3. Passengers whose seats are in the middle of the row.
  4. Passengers whose aisle seats.

If there are no problems with phobias, the passenger still has the right to choose the best row, in his opinion, of course, if he has time during check-in for the flight and the seats he needs remain free.

Passenger accommodation is based on capacity and number of seats. Of course, you have the opportunity to choose any seat in the cabin. In the Boeing 737, the cabin itself is about 4 meters wide. The seats of the seats are wide enough, but due to the increased passenger capacity, tall people may not have room for their legs, and their knees will rest on the adjacent back.

Yes, in addition, the fact that not only can you not sit comfortably, but even in front of you sitting a flight neighbor can recline his seat right on your knees, is uncomfortable.

Aeroflot's aircraft allows those flying to choose any row and seat that you like. Small restrictions in the choice apply only to a certain group of people.

Location of emergency exits

So, for example, a direct ban on taking places at emergency exits applies to women with children, the disabled, as well as people carrying animals. This is due to the fact that in an emergency, passengers near the hatch must open it. And this category of people most likely will not be able to cope with this task, since it will be difficult for a woman with a child or with animals in her arms to open the exit.

The row, which is prohibited for these persons in a two-class vessel, is number 13. Also, if you carefully look at the drawings, then row 12 is exactly the same. That is, it turns out that emergency hatches are located directly above the wings and there are two of them on each side of the fuselage. Namely, the first hatch, for example, on the right side is located between 11 and 12 nearby, and the second between 12 and 13, the third and fourth are on the opposite side.

Business Class

Of course, this class is more expensive to fly, and that's why it's called that. Therefore, the comfort in it is appropriate. The most important difference is that the number of seats in the "business" is only twenty, they are located in close proximity to the pilots. That is, from the first seats of this class, the countdown of the rows begins.

The main advantage of the "business" is that the seats in the cabin are in two rows, only two. This means that there will be more space for each person and each seat has its own “own” armrests, which the “economy” can envy. Since there are 20 seats, there are five rows in it, respectively. The economy class starts from the sixth row.

Economy class

From the sixth to the twenty-eighth row, the seats belong to the "economy" category. There are already three of them in each row, and it becomes a little crowded for an unconditionally seated person. Of course, “economy” is not a tin can, and passengers are not sprats in it, but still there are some inconveniences. Firstly, this is due to the individual characteristics of a person, due to which the passenger may experience certain inconveniences.

So if you have chosen a seat in the middle, it will be problematic and inconvenient for you to climb through a neighbor sitting from you if you want to get up and move away as needed. But if you had a choice on board at the time of check-in, it is better to choose another seat. Although sitting further at the porthole or right at the aisle also has its drawbacks and nuances.

Where are the worst places

You can also find out the location of the most unsuccessful rows by looking at the drawings of the Boeing cabin. The most unfortunate in the "economy" are the last rows. This is due to the fact that there is a bathroom at the end and for a long period of flight, people will simply visit it physiologically. And if you are in the 28th row in places C and D, then measure yourself with the fact that passing people and flight attendants will hurt you.

Another disadvantage is the back wall, you cannot lower the seat all the way, which means that it will be problematic to relax and enjoy the flight. Especially when it comes to long trips. If you have a flight time of 2 or a maximum of 3 hours, then any place will suit you. Since you will not have time to get tired and other flight neighbors will not have much need to climb over you.

Characteristics of seats in business class

Aeroflot Business Class - the best seats on the entire plane. You definitely overpay, but it's worth it.

  1. Firstly, if you don’t like large crowds of people in your life and can’t stand even the slightest touch with your elbows with a stranger, and also protect your personal space from intrusion, then this is the place for you.
  2. The category "business" is equipped very stylishly, elegantly and comfortably in comparison with the "economy".
  3. The chairs themselves are quite ergonomic, which is a huge plus for obese people, the distance to the next chair in front is also enough, and a person above average height can comfortably straighten up.
  4. Leaning back, the seat backs, in turn, also do not cause inconvenience to the neighbors.
  5. Armchairs are equipped with the latest technology. They have built-in touch monitors with the possibility of a USB input for recharging the phone.
  6. The movie file is constantly updated, so if you didn’t have time to watch a movie, then flying in “business” you can do it there.

You will have a rest, watch the movie you need and enjoy, while you are at a height of up to 12.5 thousand meters from the ground. And most importantly, you will not interfere with your neighbor sitting next to you, the armrests in the middle are double, but wide.

Someone thinks that the 1st row of seats is not very convenient, someone, on the contrary, that there are no better places to find. This is due to the fact that there is a wall in front of the first rows, some people cannot stretch their legs to the end. But on the other hand, there is no one in front of you who could lower the chair (although in “business” this does not cause discomfort and in no way interfere with those sitting behind).

Range of flight

The maximum distance that an airliner can cover is 5,765 kilometers. This means that the longest journey, equal to the maximum distance traveled, will be an average of 7 hours on the road, at a cruising speed of 850 km/h.

The popularity of air travel poses new challenges for the developers of passenger liners. Today, experts consider the Boeing 737 800 to be a fairly successful design - these ships are used by Pegasus Fly, UTair, Aeroflot, Nord Wind and other well-known carriers. However, inexperienced passengers do not know how to choose the right seats on board this model at check-in. This review will highlight such a curious topic.

The board was first tested in 1998. The creation of a liner is a consequence of competition. The aircraft was designed as an analogue of another cult model -. The vessel belongs to the third generation group and has improved characteristics compared to the base model.

The passenger compartment here involves two configuration options - an aircraft designed for seats of one class, including up to 189 landing seats, and a two-class analogue, designed to accommodate up to 160 people. Less common are liners in which there is a separate compartment with VIP class seats.

Cabin width at 3.54 meters allows passengers to travel in comfort, and the total length of the liner at 39.41 m made it possible for designers to increase the number of seats. The increased area (125 m) and wingspan (34.31 m) in combination with the powerful engine of the aircraft help the liner to fly at a distance of 5,765 km at a maximum speed of 852 km/h.

However, these parameters do not say anything to a passenger who wants to fly such an aircraft. For readers, we will provide specific information about what the Boeing 737 800 is. The layout of the cabin, the best seats and row numbers that are better to refuse - you will see all this in our article. In the video below, general tips for choosing seats on an airplane.

General principles for seating passengers

People who have repeatedly flown regular and charter routes know that the purchased ticket does not contain information about the seat occupied by the passenger. This information is specified by the airport employee. However, at this time, a person does not see what the layout of seats in the Boeing 737 800 looks like, so beginners make a decision at random. Moreover, quite often such situations become the cause of spoiled impressions about the trip.

Experts recommend studying such nuances at home, before leaving for the airport terminal, in order to be fully equipped by the time of choice. The plan of the Boeing 737 800 aircraft, which is presented in the gallery of the article, will help to determine the principles of landing on liners a little. Armchairs in the standard cabin of the liner are arranged in two rows, each of which contains 3 seats.

Now a few words about the fundamental aspects of choice. For people who are afraid of flying, it is advisable to choose outer seats located near the aisle. This technique will allow you to avoid accidental glances through the porthole and get the help of the stewards as quickly as possible if necessary. In addition, these chairs make it possible to move freely without causing inconvenience to neighbors.

Although there are some negative sides - a passenger who has taken an aisle seat will have to let fellow travelers pass when they need to leave the seat. In addition, service personnel passing by sometimes inadvertently touch passengers sitting on the edge.

A seat located in the center of the row is considered by experts not the best choice for single passengers.. After all, its location implies a flight in close proximity with strangers. Many people feel uncomfortable under such circumstances. And the armrests occupied by neighbors will only enhance such sensations.

Seats next to the window will allow you to enjoy the surrounding view for the entire flight, but it will be difficult to leave the seat. To go to the salon, you have to lift both neighbors. So in general terms, the first principles for choosing the seats of the 800 aircraft look like. The cabin layout of the liner allows you to demonstrate this point, but there are other ways to determine the optimal seat location for the flight.

Choice among one-class cabins of the liner

Let's start by reviewing each row for flight comfort. Rossiya Airlines offers passengers aircraft of this particular category in several different modifications. We will look at the VQ-BCJ model of this fleet and find out what criteria to use when choosing seats when buying a ticket for such a Boeing 737 800.

The layout of the cabin, the best seats and chairs that are appropriate to refuse, we will list below, using the marking given in Latin letters.

Here, the first three seats are not far from the pilots' toilets and the cabin partition, but there is enough space in front of the seats to get out without causing inconvenience to anyone. A slightly different situation with the second row seats. 2F, 2E, 2D are located directly behind the baffle. Therefore, it is better for passengers who suffer from the fear of confined spaces to refuse such a choice - after all, the wall in front of their eyes during the flight will only exacerbate this phobia.

A good choice of food becomes a plus here - after all, food is delivered starting from the nose of the liner. And the inconvenience with the reclined back of the seat of the person sitting in front is excluded here. If you want to buy tickets in row 14, keep in mind that it is usually cooler here than in the rest of the cabin.

All places of the 15th and 16th rows have restrictions on the folding of the seats, because emergency exits are located in the sixteenth and seventeenth rows. 17 B, 17 C, 17 D and 17 E - the so-called spase seats - the seats are quite comfortable, because the seats here are at a decent distance from the previous row. But here it should be borne in mind that tickets for all these places will be sold only to adult passengers who do not have disabilities and restrictions on movement. Indeed, in an emergency, the duty to open the emergency exit lies with the people occupying them.

Perhaps very good seats in the liner are chairs 18A and 18F- there is enough free space in front of them to exit. As for the least attractive options, here experts call the seats installed in the 33rd row, behind which the toilets are located. There are always limitations to the reclining function of the chair. In addition, due to the constant visits to toilets by passengers, it is always noisy here.

Model overview with business class zone

Consider another model owned by the same airline. The VQ-BIZ airliner is the only copy in the fleet of Rossiya.

Here, the first three rows are occupied by business class seats - double seats. Of course, these seats are quite comfortable, but 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D are located just behind the cockpit partition. Accordingly, there is not enough free space in front of the chairs, and the view of the wall is unlikely to impress tourists. Although it is advisable to buy tickets here to do work on the road.

Let's move on to and see what the layout of the Boeing 737 800 is, how many seats are provided by the designers in this liner and which seats will be the best choice for a passenger. There are 154 seats in this salon.

It will be comfortable to fly in the fourth row because of the free space in front of the seats - there is only a partition in front that separates the seats of increased comfort. Emergency exit hatches are located on rows 12 and 13. That is, people who buy seats in rows 11 and 12 should think about the likely inability to recline the back of the chair.

13 C, 13E, 13B and 13D - the seats located at the emergency doors are a good option. In addition, a good option would be to choose row 14 with seats A and F. After all, there is enough free space in front of them.

Accordingly, the places of the last, 29th row are not the best option. It is always crowded and noisy due to the proximity of the toilets. In addition, the seatbacks cannot be fully reclined. And the stewards offering food will come here only after going around the entire plane. As you can see, there are many selection criteria, and most of the nuances depend on the personal preferences of the passenger.

In order not to spoil the mood at the very beginning of the vacation during the flight, it is advisable for inexperienced passengers to take the advice of experienced people. We will give general recommendations for choosing seats in the cabin of the liner. For a person who has not previously flown on board this model, it is appropriate in detail study the layout of the aircraft cabin and familiarize yourself with the main characteristics of the model. In addition, it does not hurt to ask the airline staff about the choice made during check-in or ask them for advice.

Consider your personal perception of turbulence. Here, experts suggest choosing places closer to the nose of the aircraft - shaking here is not felt as much as in the tail. It is advisable to avoid purchasing tickets for rows located in front of evacuation hatches or toilets. Remember, it is usually not possible to travel reclining here due to safety and design restrictions.

The seats located next to the ancillary areas of the liner are unlikely to meet the expectations of a passenger who dreams of flying in silence. It's always noisy and crowded here. Consider your own personal preferences and qualities. Traveling with a pet in your arms is advisable to plan closer to the aisle of the salon.
