Seat map Airbus A320
The Airbus has many different seat layouts. But the company uses only one of them, in which 158 seats: 8 of them are in business class, and 150 in economy class. The aircraft cabin is divided into two sectors: business and economic. Interior layout of A320:
Business Class
In this sector of the Airbus, the seats are in the nose of the aircraft in a 2-2 in 2 rows. If you are looking for a comfortable and enjoyable flight with a high level of service, then Business Class is your choice. Each seat has plenty of personal space for the most relaxing flight in the Airbus A320. There is a separate bathroom for the business class.
Economy class
Economic class is located behind the partition from the business class. It starts from rows 3 of 27. The seats are arranged in a 3-3 row pattern. Bathrooms are located at the end of the sector, behind the 27th row.
In front of row 3, we observe a partition that separates the business class. There is more space in front, compared to the standard seats of the cabin, food will be served to you first of all, because the service starts from this row, no one will overturn the back of the chair on you, since you have no neighbors in front. But during the flight, you will have to look at the bulkhead.
9 row. Behind him is an emergency exit. From this we can conclude that the back of the chair is motionless, which will make the flight uncomfortable.
The 10th row is placed between two emergency exits, which gives both pros and cons to these places. On the plus side, there is extra headroom up front. Minus - the back of the chair does not recline.
11 row. There is an emergency exit in front of it. The more legroom and the movable backrest make these seats very comfortable to travel.
Passengers who will fly in the seats at the emergency exits (10 and 11 rows) will be given additional safety rules. Also, you cannot leave carry-on luggage at the aisle; it will need to be put on the shelf. Pregnant women, passengers with children, disabled people and passengers who do not speak Russian or English are not allowed to fly in these places.
Row 26 is located near the bathrooms. And, since economy class toilets are located only at the end of the plane, there will be a constant congestion of people, unpleasant smells and sounds.
Row 27 is the last row of the aircraft. It is located in front of the washrooms. In addition to the disadvantages of the 26th row, in this row, the chairs have a fixed back.
The best places
- Business class - 1st and 2nd row.
- Economy class - 3 and 11 rows.
Good places
- Economy class - 10 row.
Bad places
- Economy class - 9, 26 and 27 rows.
The most quiet flight is in the bow of the aircraft. This part is located far from the engines, so there is the least noise and chatter here.
The middle part of the plane is comfortable enough. There is little turbulence, moderate engine noise. But, if you want to fly by the window, then you should know that 8-15 rows are located above the wings, which guarantees a limited view from the window.
The tail section is the most uncomfortable and safest part. According to statistics, passengers flying in this part of the plane survive in plane crashes more often than other passengers.
To ensure yourself a comfortable flight, you need to familiarize yourself with the scheme of the aircraft you will be flying. It is better to do this on the official website of the airline you use. Happy flight with S7 Airlines and Airbus A320!
