Boeing 777 200 best nord wind seats. Airbus A321 Nord Wind - the layout of the cabin and the best seats

The airline "Nordwind" operates 2 Boeing aircraft 777-200ER. The layout of the aircraft provides for 2 classes of service: business and economic. The total passenger capacity is 393 people.

Boeing 777-200 are used for long distance flights, or on routes with high passenger traffic.

Now let's take a closer look at the configuration of these aircraft, which is used in the "North Wind".

1 row this is the only business class row. The only thing we can say is that the airlines' declared distance to the partition from the seat is 127 centimeters.

Moving on to economy class. The declared distance between the rows is 74 cm. Note that these aircraft use seat layout 3-4-3... This is a rather inconvenient configuration for passengers, so the cabin is, to put it mildly, “cramped”.

5-6 rows marked in yellow-green have a number of advantages and disadvantages.

Let's start with the cons.

In front of you there will be a rigid partition separating business and economy classes. There is enough room for knees in these places, but it will be problematic to stretch your legs forward. Also, watching the entire flight into the wall is not very comfortable.

The advantage of these seats is that no one will recline the back of their seat on you. In conditions of long flights and a modest distance between the rows, this is quite important.

12-14 rows all seats in these rows, except 12H, 12J, 12K may have a limitation in the deflection of the back. likewise, the proximity of the galley does not add to the convenience.

20 row- exactly the same pros and cons as in the 5th row. However, in front of you will not be a partition, but a wall of toilets. The closeness of the WC is always an unnecessary fuss. constant walking of passengers, sounds of a tank, doors, etc.

The same goes for 21 glad, seats D, F, E, G.

Note that the places 21H and 21K could be called places of increased comfort, since there is enough free space in front of them. However, the closeness of the toilets spoils the whole picture.

In addition to the above disadvantages, we add that queues can form near you, they can step on your foot or touch your elbow.

Armchairs in 38 and 39 rowsmarked in red. Most likely, the backs do not recline or have a limitation in this. Toilets are also nearby.

In some models this aircraft there are 1-2 seats with a missing porthole. In this configuration, these can be seats in the middle section of the cabin, somewhere from 20 to 39 rows.

In the 45th row, due to the location of the escape hatches, there is enough free space in front for legs and knees.

46 row D, E, F, G - abut against the wall.

53C and 53H- behind this row, the narrowing of the fuselage begins. The back of your seat can be hit by passengers or flight attendants carrying trolleys.

57 and 58 rows marked in red. The last rows of the plane, the backs, are most likely blocked. Also, they are located next to toilets and other technical rooms.

Places from 54 to 56 rows, in which there are 2 chairs instead of 3, it is a little more comfortable due to this fact. Especially if you are flying together.

Enjoy your flight and soft landing!

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

How to choose best places to make your flight as comfortable as possible?

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

Seat map Boeing 777-200ER Rossiya Airlines

Business Class

The business class cabin uses a 2x3x2 seating arrangement. Seats of this class are located on rows 1 and 2.
Chairs are designated:

In the 6th row, the seats are located as in the business class - according to the 2x3x2 scheme.

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

Rows 4 and 5
The seats in these rows have standard legroom for this sector. To the benefits of all the ranks of the economy class superior comfort can be attributed to the location relative to the cabin of the aircraft.

The luxury section is located in the bow of the Boeing. The number of seats in this sector is much less than in “regular” economy class. During the flight, you will be spared from people walking around the cabin and queues to the toilet rooms.
Food distribution begins with the nose and tail of the aircraft, and you will be one of the first to receive food.

Row 6
The extreme range of this sector has both advantages and disadvantages.
The pluses include the layout of the seats according to the 2x3x2 scheme. For those flying in pairs, the ideal option is to book seats A, C and J, L. Located close to the windows and with good overview two seats, as in business class.

On the downside, I include non-reclining backs of the chairs. The Boeing 777-200 is used primarily for long-haul routes. The backrest, which is fixed in an upright position, can create some discomfort during a long flight.

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

Row 10
By choosing seats in this row, you will enjoy the benefits of Superior Economy Class for less money. A ticket to Standard Economy Class is cheaper, even if the airline asks for a surcharge for row 10 seats.

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

A stone's throw from the toilets and the kitchen. In terms of flight practice, the bulk of passengers prefer to use the toilets located in the tail section of the Boeing 777-200.

The chairs of the 10th row are placed according to the 3x4x3 scheme and have the letter designations:

A B C D E G H J K L

The disadvantages, with a big stretch, include the placement of hand luggage only on the shelf above the seats.
Fans of landscapes behind the window are not advised to choose a block of seats D, E, G, H. It is located in the middle of the cabin far from the windows.

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

View from the porthole in row 12 is partially obscured by the leading edge of the aircraft wing. Also, some discomfort can be created by noise from the engines located on the wing.

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

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.
Among the shortcomings - additional noise from the engines located on the wing and not reclining the backs of the seats in this row. Toilets are located immediately behind it.

They are located in the middle of the passenger compartment. Discomfort from passengers frequenting the toilets and queuing in front of them is possible.

Freestanding armchairs
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 backs of the seats in these places do not recline, which creates additional inconvenience for long-distance flights. If possible, avoid selecting seats in this block.

Row 30
The center 4 seats have increased legroom and no forward-facing seats. The disadvantage is the close-located toilet.

In front of the side blocks of 3 seats, because of the emergency exits in front of them, there is no wall. Due to this, legroom is much more than in business class. When leaving, you do not need to squeeze between neighbors, if your place is by the window.

Among 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. Standard seating arrangement is 3x4x3, standard row spacing.

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 aisle between blocks of two and four seats. Lack of a third chair and, accordingly, one more neighbor.

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

Row 43
The worst uncomfortable row on the plane. It is located in the center of the fuselage and has only 4 seats. On the contrary, on both sides, there are toilets, the doors of which go exactly to places D and H, there is no exit to the windows. Behind the backs that do not recline is the kitchen.

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 features tapered and lengthened wingtips, new main landing gear legs, a reinforced front strut and additional fuel tanks. The fuselage, wings, empennage and engine pylons are also reinforced.

The GE90-115B turbofan engines standard on this model are by far the most powerful jet engines in the world and have a maximum thrust of 513 kN. The maximum range is 14 690 kilometers, which became possible due to the increased maximum take-off weight and fuel capacity. The range of the 777-300ER fully loaded has been increased by approximately 34% over the 777-300. After flight tests, the introduction of new engines, wings and an increase in take-off weight, fuel consumption dropped by 1.4%.

The first Boeing 777-300 ER was handed over to the airline Air France April 29, 2004. In September 2010, the Boeing 777-300ER became the best-selling Boeing 777, surpassing the 777-200ER.

Deciphering the designations of the interior layout


The layout of the cabin, the best and less comfortable seats on the Boeing 777-300 ER of Aeroflot

Today Aeroflot is actively operating 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 economic (324 seats).


The best places

Business class - first 5 rows.

All seats here are comfortable and comfortable. Modern design, individual menu, entertainment system and excellent service.

Comfort class from 11 to 16 rows.

A separate salon is provided for this class. The name of the class speaks for itself. There are very comfortable chairs, the backs of which do not recline back, and the surface "leaves" forward, without interfering with the passengers sitting behind you. Each chair is equipped with its own hinged light source, footrest, large comfortable fold-out table and a 10.6-inch monitor. Meals: hot dishes from the business class menu.

  • 17 seat row A, C, H, K. The best seats on the Boeing 777-300 of Aeroflot. Plenty of legroom, backrests recline well. There are two seats, perfect for a two-person flight.
  • 18 row C and H. Comfortable places. There are no chairs in front of them and enough free meta to stretch your legs and take a comfortable position.
  • Good places marked in green in 24 and 38 rows ... Emergency exits 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 are not allowed to sit here. Also, you can not block the approaches to the hatches of your hand luggage.
  • Places from 47 to 51 rows: A, C, H, K. Due to the narrowing of the fuselage, there are two seats that are ideal for a pair of flights.

Worst places
  • Comfort class, 11 row. There is a partition in front of the seats in this row, so there is not much legroom. And the chairs, under numbers F, G, H and K are closest to the toilet. Moreover, this is a business class toilet, for comfort class passengers there is a toilet in the economy class cabin.
  • Comfort class, in 12, 15 and 16 rows the porthole is inconveniently located.
  • 20 row. There is no porthole.
  • 17, 24 and 39 rows, seats D, E, F, G. The huge advantage is that there are no passengers in the front and no one will throw the back of their seat on you. But the entire flight will have to look at the wall, and you will not be able to stretch your legs in front. Also, row 24 is close to the toilets, and row 39 is close to the kitchen. This is an extra bustle around these places.
  • Seats in 23, 36, 37, 50, 51 rows located near toilets and kitchens, which can cause slight discomfort. But here the backs of the seats are reclined and it is convenient in flight.
  • Seats 24 and 38 rows located behind emergency exits, so there is a lot of free space in front.
  • Seats in the 46th row , C and H. The backs of the seats protrude into the aisle a little here, so they can be touched by passengers and flight attendants with trolleys.

Emirates Airlines largest operator passenger aircraft Boeing 777-300. In total, the airline's fleet includes 102 such airliners. Accordingly, with such a number, there are different layouts of the cabin. There are 4 of them. The most popular configuration is the Emirates Boeing 777-300 - 12 first class seats, 42 business class seats and 310 economy class seats. We will give a detailed description of this configuration.
  • First class (1-2 rows) . Most comfortable for the flight. There are very comfortable chairs that fold out almost 180 degrees, exquisite menu, service at a high level.
  • Business class (with 6 to 11 rows) . Also very comfortable chair-beds, the step between the rows is about 1.5 meters. There are some remarks on the place of this class:
  • Rows 7 and 8 are close to the kitchen and toilets. These are more hectic places during day and night hours alike. Places 7A and 7K moreover, they do not have a porthole.
  • 11 row located closest to the economy class. There is a very thin partition, so the noise is not blocked.

Economy class (with16 to 50 rows).
  • 16 row - this is a standard row in front of the partition. There are attachments for baby bassinets here, which is very convenient for parents, but the neighborhood with small children can make the flight uncomfortable for other passengers. Folding tables and an individual screen are housed in one of the armrests, making it immobile. On the seats of this row, you must not place carry-on baggage on the floor during take-off and landing. A big plus 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. Close to toilets. Places 23A and 23K do not have a full-fledged porthole. A small window is located on the emergency door. The table and monitor are located in the armrest. Passengers with children and animals, disabled people and the elderly are prohibited from staying in these places. You cannot obstruct the approaches with hand luggage. A big plus in the ample legroom.
  • 35 and 36 rows 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 walk, 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 stick out a little into the main salon. They can be caught by passing people and flight attendants with carts.
  • 48 A, B, J, K - the backs of the seats are limited in reclining. The onboard entertainment server is located under the seat in front. This means less legroom.
  • 50 row - the backs rest against the wall of the kitchen and close to the toilets.

The Boeing 777-300 ER has the largest landing gear legs and largest tires ever used in a commercial jet. Each tire from the 777-300ER main six-wheel strut can carry 27 tonnes.

8 Airbus A321-200 (Airbus A321-200) aircraft fly under the Nordwind Airlines brand. These are the side numbers: VQ-BOE, VQ-BOD, VQ-BRM, VQ-BRN, VQ-BRO, VQ-BRU, VP-BGH and VP-BRD. Absolutely all liners were not purchased new, and had time to fly for other airlines. Here are just data on some of the sides:

  • The VP-BRD board is the youngest among the Airbus А321 of the Nord Wind company. The liner made its maiden flight in May 2007. Operated by Kingfisher Airlines and ILFC.
  • The VQ-BOE board is the oldest. The liner made its first flight in April 2000. Operated by airlines: Virgin Atlantic Airways, LTE International Airways, Volar Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Air Berlin, MC Aviation Partners (MCAP).

The layout of the cabin is one class (only economy class). Thus, the liner can accommodate 220 people. This is 50 people more than the same company Aeroflot, which has a business class, would interfere. As you can see, the company relied on quantity, not quality. seats.

Let's move on to the analysis of the best and worst seats in the cabin layout of the Airbus A321 by Nord Wind.

Row 1. Comfortable enough places to fly. There is extra legroom as there is no row in the front. For the same reason, no one will recline the back of the chair. In addition, there is usually no air conditioning problem in the nose of the aircraft.
However, the minus of the first row is its proximity to the galley, which means additional noise and traffic. Passengers with small children often sit in the front rows, which also adds "noise" to the row.
Rows 9 & 23 seats F... The backrests of the seats are limited in recline due to the escape hatch behind the seat. We'll have to sit the entire flight in one seat position.
Rows 10 and 24. Not very good places to fly. The backs of the seats do not fold back, as there is an emergency exit behind, which must not be obstructed for safety reasons. Seats D and F have one small plus - there are only two of them in the right lane, which is convenient for a pair flight.
Rows 11 and 25. Perhaps the best flight seats in this cabin layout. Located in front of the emergency exit, there is more than enough legroom here. The backs of the seat of the previous row are locked, so they will not interfere with a calm flight. The toilets and kitchen are located in the other wing of the aircraft, so it is even more peaceful here.
There are also disadvantages, but they are in no way related to comfort. Firstly, such places are taken apart first, so it is not so easy to get them. Secondly, the aisles in these rows should not be obstructed with hand luggage (for safety reasons), so there may be problems with the placement of your belongings. Thirdly, it is forbidden to accommodate the elderly and disabled, pregnant women, passengers with small children and animals.
Row 36: Seat C and D- are located in a very walkable place, as there are toilets nearby. Passengers and flight attendants will constantly walk near these seats, which will not add comfort to the flight.

Row 36. Worst places to fly. The backs of the seats are locked due to the partition behind the row. The presence of toilets in the immediate vicinity says only one thing - there will always be queues, noise, din and sounds of the drain tank. In addition, it is always more stuffy in the last rows if there is no individual air conditioning on the plane. The only consolation plus is that such seats are not often taken, and therefore, there is a chance that you will fly here alone. So you can relax in a few chairs. But that's how lucky.

The airline "North Wind" or Nordwind is popular with Russian passengers. The carrier offers flights at affordable prices throughout the country and abroad. The company's fleet has aircraft of many brands, but the most popular is the Boeing 777-200 (three liners in total).

Boeing 777-200 ER

Boeings appeared in 1994. Then they were noticed by many world airlines and purchased in the fleet. Due to their good technical characteristics, the aircraft were used for medium and long-range flights. Specifications:

  • Length - 64 m.
  • The wingspan is 60 m.
  • The capacity is up to 400 people.
  • The maximum speed is 965 km / h.
  • The maximum flight range is up to 15,000 km.

Airline aircraft

I have three Boeing planes with side numbers- VP-BJB, VQ-BUD and VP-BJF. Each plane has already served more than once other companies, even Asian ones.

  • VP-BJB. He began work in 1998 in the fleet of China Southern Airlines, where he stayed until 2013, and then ended up with Nord Wind.
  • VQ-BUD. He also started flights in 1998, changed several airlines, including Aeroflot and Vietnamese Airlines. He entered the company "North Wind" in 2014.
  • VP-BJF. A little younger than their fellows. In 2004 he joined China Southern Airlines, where he flew until 2013, and then moved to the current airline.

Each aircraft is supposed to use two classes - business and economy. By the way, the Boeing's capacity exceeds 380 people, and sometimes it reaches 400.

Interior layout

Although there are two service classes, most often no more than 10 seats are allocated for business class. In economy class, the seating is most often according to the layout "3-4-3", because of which the aisles are narrowed. In general, the aircraft cabin looks like this:

In the tail of the aircraft, sometimes the seats are set according to the "2-4-2" scheme, which means that the passage becomes wider. The plane has 4 exits, this factor should be taken into account when choosing the best seat in the cabin.

The business class seats are very comfortable, there is a lot of legroom, the backrests recline at a large angle. Economy-class chairs have armrests, the backs recline in all rows, but not much on some. There is a dark carpet on the floor. Each chair has a folding table, seat belts, a pocket for personal belongings. Economy seats in a Boeing 777-200 "Nord Wind" look something like this:

The best seats on the plane

Best places:

  • First row Are business class seats. Here the seats are arranged in pairs, the distance between the seats is increased. The backrests can recline more and additional legroom is provided. The seats themselves are more comfortable here than in the other class. They look something like the photo:

  • Fifth row... It is with him that the economy class begins. It is interesting that in this row there are only central seats from D to G. There are conveniences here: there will be a partition in front of you, not chairs, which means that the seats will not recline on you. But, on the other hand, because of the partition it will be impossible to spread your legs, and you will also have to look at the wall, because there are not even windows nearby.
  • Sixth row... This is the first row for the economy class, where all the seats from A to K appear. But the side seats - A, B, C, H, J and K are comfortable here. There is increased legroom in these places, the partition will not bother you. Plus, lunch will be served first, so you won't have to wait long.
  • 20 and 21 rows... They are a bit similar to rows 5 and 6, but they are located not behind the business class, but behind the toilet. There is a little more space for the feet, but the proximity to the restrooms may seem like a big disadvantage to someone, because people will often walk. And there is also a buffet nearby, from where the smells of food can be heard, but for some it may be a plus.
  • 45 and 46 rows... The same as the previous ones. There will be a wall in front of you, a toilet room is located nearby - all these are certainly disadvantages, but the advantages are legroom, the absence of neighbors in front.

In general, all seats have their advantages and disadvantages, so there are almost no best seats in the Boeing 777-200 without any drawbacks. Choose places that are convenient for you. Perhaps a toilet located near you is a plus for someone. In addition, some parts of the cabin copy each other. Some of the rows have similar characteristics, so choose a seat because of the location on the plane. Less rocking on the wings, and in the tail great view... Choose everything according to your taste.

Good places

The following places can be called relatively good:

  • 12 row, seats from A to H... This is the last row in front of the kitchen, which means you may be allowed to recline a little more. Row 14 has similar properties. But these seats are in front of the emergency exit and the toilet, so people will often pass by.
  • 46 row, seats D - G... The row is located after the toilet, there is a little more legroom, but the eyes will rest against the wall.
  • 53 row, seats C and H... This is the last row, where the seats are three, and it is these seats that can recline the back more, but at the same time you can be hurt by flight attendants or passengers, since the aisle between the seats remains narrow.
  • 55 and 56 row... The seats are in the "2-4-2" pattern, the outermost seats A, C, H and K are comfortable. These seats are especially good if you are traveling together. The passage here increases slightly.

These seats also have their advantages and disadvantages, it is good to sit here, but there may be some inconveniences.

Worst places

And here are the places that you shouldn't choose under any circumstances:

  • 30-39 rows... According to passengers, air conditioners do not always work here, which means it is stuffy. Not the most the best way for elderly passengers.
  • 38 and 39 rows... The seats in the last row are not worth choosing. Behind them is the wall of the toilet room, which means that the backs will not recline completely. Plus, because of the close proximity to the restroom, people will crowd around you, and food and drinks will be served almost last.
  • 57 and 58 rows... Although the side seats in these rows are located in pairs, there are still drawbacks. They are similar to 38 and 39 next to each other, there is a wall behind, the backs recline weakly, people pass by often, noise will be created. In addition, these are the very last rows on the plane, if the exits are not opened at the back, then you will be the last to leave.

You can survive the flight in any place, but if the choice of a seat is important for you, then you should not choose these particular seats.

Conclusion

The North Wind airline is proud of its Boeing 777-200, because they are excellent carriers of passengers for medium and long distances. Comfort and convenience will accompany you throughout the flight, but try to choose the best seats that are convenient for you. Choose the correct part of the plane. Remember, the center seats are not the most convenient, so if you do not have time to choose a seat on the edge, then you will most likely get the seat in the center row. Although such a flight is easy to survive, the main thing is to tune in to the beautiful and think about the upcoming vacation.

The company "Nord Wind" will take you to your dream, because it has been flying for more than 9 years and during this time it has earned the love of its passengers.
