Boeing 767-300 Azur Air
The Boeing 767-300 is a large airliner designed for a maximum load of 350 people. It has been produced for about 30 years, but this does not prevent the model from being popular and used in many airlines in the world. The fact that Roman Abramovich has just such an aircraft speaks volumes. During the operation it was "Lost" only 17 aircraft and, unfortunately, 2 of them caused the tragedy in the United States on September 11, 2001.

Azur Air is a private company owned by the Turkish holding company Anex. It mainly operates charter flights to popular tourist destinations. Currently has 7 in its fleet Boeing 767-300.
These aircraft are designed for medium and long range flights. If you look at the board of flights, then they are all not close - Thailand, Mexico, India, Vietnam, Spain, Tunisia, the Dominican Republic. There are also domestic Russian flights.
The salon consists exclusively of economy class seats, so choosing the best seats will be problematic. Due to the heavy workload, the aircraft has 2 kitchens in the bow and 7 toilets - 1 in the bow, 2 in the central and 4 in the rear of the aircraft.
All seats are divided into three rows. There are 4 seats in the central one, 2 in the side ones, which is very convenient for those who travel together.
Unfortunately, in recent years, airlines have begun to separate seats in their cabins. More popular and convenient to sell at a premium. Azur Air has special Azur Space seats. They cost 1000-1500 more, depending on the flight range.
Why are they better?
The distance between the chairs is about 1 meter, you can stretch your legs - this is important for tall people.
But there are also limitations. Pregnant women, minors, disabled people and passengers with children must not be on them. Plus, if the airline changes the plane, you lose your eligibility for improved seats. So it is written in the conditions Azur Air... Where are these places? In the 1st row, just behind the cockpit and in front of the emergency exits.
Azur Space Improved Seats Scheme
Nasal part
- The entire 1st row - seats A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.
Middle of the cabin
- Row 14 - seats C, D, E in the center row.
- 16th row - places A, B and G, H on the sides (at the windows).
- 32 row - seats C, D, E, F in the center row.
- Row 33 - places A, B and G, H on the sides (at the windows).
True, it should be noted that rows 14 and 16 are located right next to the toilet. What is more important to you is up to you.
By the way, not everyone likes to have a large space in front of them. At the moment of the plane's descent, some passengers instinctively seek support. You will not find such a support in the form of chairs in front of Azur Space.
Convenient seats
In addition to the officially recognized best places, you can find those for which you do not have to pay extra.
For those who are flying together, these will be all side seats. They will not have to ask strangers to let you through, and no one will wade through you. You can safely go about your business - sleep, eat, watch a movie or listen to music.
Some passengers like to sit "At the window", some - on the contrary, are afraid to look down in panic. Someone prefers only the nose part, someone likes to look at the wing, and someone wants to sit in the tail, because once they heard that in the event of an accident there is a chance of survival. Therefore, each passenger chooses a comfortable seat for himself.
Inconvenient places
Traditionally, these will be places near the toilets. More precisely - 12, 14, 15, 16 rows at the transition of the new part to the central and 45, 46 rows in the very tail. In addition to unpleasant sounds and smells, you will be "annoyed" by those who are constantly walking and slamming doors who want to "wash their hands". However, on short flights the planes are clean enough, the second factor is much more annoying.
The next series of awkward seats is in the very center of the cabin. These are places D, E. In any case, you will have to ask someone to let you through if necessary. It is inconvenient even if your loved one is sitting next to you. It is good if the flight is short and the need arises infrequently.
In addition, there is a lot of crowding in the central row. The surrounding passengers are in your personal comfort zone, which not everyone likes. This is partly why most people consider flying an airplane uncomfortable.
Why choose comfortable seats and how to survive a long flight?
The question is rhetorical. It is asked by those who have never flown more than 3-4 hours. Imagine a flight from Moscow to Southeast Asia, which lasts 9-10 hours, or to the American continent - across the ocean, which is even longer. How to spend so much time in one position? And even squeezed from all sides by neighbors. You're lucky if you can sleep.
Therefore, it is better not to pump yourself up with alcohol, but take a small dose of a sedative. So you will not break the law and will "Adequate"... Keep in mind that a drunk person can be removed from the flight both at the airport of departure and at the destination. What's even more annoying.
If you have problems with the spine and blood vessels, be sure to take medication with you and try to change your body position if possible. Buy yourself an inflatable pillow in advance. Some airlines even issue them, but it will not take up much space in your baggage.
Pleasant flight!
