Flight in Utair Business Class on a Boeing 737-800 Sky Interior July 3rd, 2013

Before, I never flew business class. But so long ago, Utair acquired 4 completely new aircraft with the Sky Interior layout and I had the opportunity to test this type of service on board the new Boeing 737-800 Sky Interior

On the morning of 07/02/2013, there was fog in Tolmachevo and many planes went into circles trying to land. However, the Utair board landed the first time on runway-2 at course 34 at 05-30, and was ready to receive passengers on flight UT570 Novosibirsk-Moscow on time.

Let's go inside the salon. By the way, why are passengers all over the world being launched through the left door ?! There is also a door on the right.

By the way, I printed such a boarding pass in a special machine located in the Tolmachevo terminal. I didn't have any luggage, so I didn't have to queue to check in.

The chairs are very comfortable. Folds out almost into a full bed! There is a very large reclining angle of the backrest and such a thing for the legs goes out so that you can stretch them. They gave out a blanket and a pillow. It was very nice to sleep! Like at home!

The chair is adjusted using these buttons. Even a special pillow under the lower back is inflated / lowered to make it as comfortable as possible.

Such an audio control panel was built into the right armrest, but, alas, it did not work.

For each business class passenger, such a set is relied on. Let's see what's in there?

Everything you need is present. And these long rags - apparently socks) The most useless thing here, in my opinion, is earplugs. Because the cabin is very quiet and the light sound of the engines on the flight level even contributes to a good sleep.

In the terminal, awaiting departure, I took the magazine "WHERE in Novosibirsk" on board, found my photo there (left). Pleasantly. Right - photo victor_dmitriev .

Top panel. Not the same as other Boin 737s. Better design.

I had a 2A seat, therefore, to make the wingview, it was necessary to turn around a little. But in general - I like it when the wing does not interfere with the view. You can look at the planes and the views from the window without obstacles. And business class passengers arrive at their destination faster than economy class passengers, because are closer to the nose)

Let's talk about food. At the beginning of the flight, the flight attendant asked me what to cook for the main course. The choice was: beef steak with vegetables, rice porridge, scrambled eggs, pancakes. I chose the steak.
The photo shows cold appetizers that are served before the main course. Food is served in china. Word devices are real, not plastic. Notice how elegantly the lemon is packed in a bag so that the juice flows down from it and does not splatter. In the jars on top - ketchup, red caviar, mustard, mayonnaise, olive oil. To the left of the vegetable plate is butter. For some reason, there is no bread. Ok, we leave the butter and caviar "for later", waiting for the bread.

Actually, a steak with vegetables. Very soft and juicy meat. No bread was brought. We eat the steak, we continue to wait for the bread (I really wanted caviar, but I didn't really eat it with a spoon).

Dessert.
A strange combination, to be honest. It reminded me of France, where I was also served cheese for dessert. On the left in a bowl are cherries and pineapples. Tried this interesting and strange combination of cheese and pineapple. There is something in this, but most likely I myself will not cook this for myself) And dried apricots and dates in general seemed to accidentally fall on this plate.

Continuation of the dessert. Tea in a teapot (it was offered a choice of coffee, black / green tea), a cupcake. In the jars at the top left - condensed milk, blueberry jam and honey. The tea is delicious. Notice how interestingly the lemon is cut)

In the process of absorbing food, one should not forget to admire the view from the window.

The time came to go down and outside the window began to show the landscapes near Moscow.
In the photo - Ramenskoye airfield. You can see the Tu-144 at the bottom left.

Bykovo airport. Currently not active. The platform is crowded with some cars (what kind of cars ?!). However, planes can also be seen. Somewhere near boeing I think I saw their pictures in the parking lot.

Some nice cottage village near Moscow.

WITH VERY nice cottages)

And here is Vnukovo. Well hello! Haven't seen each other since 2008. There was no new terminal at that time.
Cloudy weather, by the way, very quickly changed to clear. A very busy day was ahead, which I will tell you about in the near future.

It is great to fly in Utair business class!
