Best Places

Consider the best seats in the Boeing 737-800 in the layout indicated on the cabin layout. We do not present an option with an extended economy class, because. the principle of choosing seats is practically the same as the scheme in the picture, with the exception of seats above the wing and row numbering.

Business Class

Business class seats occupy rows 1 to 3. They are arranged in a 2 x 2 pattern.
We will not dwell on the choice of seats in this class in detail, because all seats are conveniently located in the forward part of the cabin, have a large legroom and are located in close proximity to the toilet room.

The only thing I would point out is the advantage of the first row. The absence of seats in front creates additional comfort in flight, because. personal space is not violated by the seat back lowered by the passenger.
Given the large seat pitch in business class, reclining seatbacks in other rows do not cause significant discomfort in flight.

Economy class

Rows from 4 to 29 are given over to the economy class. With the exception of the 13th row, the seating arrangement is 3 x 3.

4 row
Regardless of the aircraft model, seats in this row are considered to be the best and airlines often charge an additional fee for check-in for seats in the first row of economy class.

Let's list the advantages of these places. No seats in front of you. Comfort during the flight will not be disturbed by reclining seatbacks. Children won't drop toys on your lap or on your food. The distribution of food and drinks begins in your row. You will have the maximum gastronomic choice. Proximity to toilets and lack of queues in them.

Because Row 4 is located in the nose of the aircraft, even in the aisle seats you will not suffer from passing passengers. For walks during the flight, the central part of the cabin is usually used, and the rooms in the tail of the Boeing are popular toilets.
Quick exit from the plane after landing.
Hand luggage for passengers of this row is located on the shelves above the seats.

Rows 5 to 10
Standard economy class seats without flaws. The advantages include the location of these rows in the bow.

Row 11
According to the characteristics of the seats and the location, this row is the same as the previous ones, but there are a number of disadvantages. A slight inconvenience can be delivered, partially covered by the leading edge of the wing, view from the window. The engine on the wing may produce increased noise during takeoff and landing.
There is an emergency exit behind the 11th row, so the seat backs do not recline.

Depending on the board number, the rows with Extra Space seats may differ!

Rows 12 to 14
There are three emergency exits in this part of the aircraft. The advantages of seats on these rows include increased legroom. Lovers of contemplating landscapes through the porthole will be a little disappointed. From the seats at the porthole of the 12th row, the view is partially covered by the wing. On the 13th and 14th rows, the wing completely covers the views of the earth.

Moreover, row 13 has a 2 x 2 layout and there is no seat at the porthole. Some passengers tend to lean against the side of the plane. Here, this option will not work - between the chair and the skin there is half a meter of emptiness.

In addition, the central rows are the last to receive food if the distribution begins at the same time from the nose and tail of the aircraft.

Rows 15-20
Unremarkable places. Of the minuses - a view from the porthole closed by the wing. In the 20th row, the review will be partial. At the level of the 20th row, the trailing edge of the wing passes. Increased noise from the engine on the wing is not ruled out.

Rows 21 to 28
Passengers from these rows get all the "charms" of flying in the tail section of the aircraft. The densely populated part of the plane means a lot of traffic in the aisle and queues from people wishing to visit the restroom.
On the other hand, according to statistics, the safest places are located in the tail.

The number of seats in the Boeing 737-800 aircraft (Boeing 737-800) varies (depending on model and configuration) from 162 passengers in a two-class cabin to 189 people in a single-class cabin.

As we have repeatedly written, there can be hundreds of different modifications of the same model of the liner. It depends on the year of manufacture, the number of passenger seats, "class", as well as the configuration that a particular airline ordered for its needs.

Therefore, it is impossible to consider all options. In order to find a good seat for yourself, you need to familiarize yourself with the cabin layout of the Boeing 737-800 (Boeing 737-800), the airline whose services you decide to use. Only then draw conclusions.

Attention, friends! We analyzed this aircraft model for all major Russian airlines.

If your airline is not on the list, do not be discouraged, there are general recommendations, following which you can independently find good seats for yourself.

The best seats on the plane
Anna Morozova, editor-in-chief

For example, consider 2 Boeing 737-800 schemes.

The first option is a one-class cabin for 184 passengers (Austrian Airlines), the second option is a two-class cabin with 16 business class seats, 144 economy class seats (American Airlines).

So, let's begin. On the first picture, places in the front row located directly in front of the kitchen and dressing room, therefore, may have less legroom than standard ones. Also, it is likely that folding tables, which are usually located in the back of the seat in front, are attached to the armrest. This reduces both the width of the chair and the comfort, because in this case the armrest is fixed.

For the same reason, yellow denoted seats in row 7, in the second figure. Only instead of a kitchen, there is a partition separating business and economy classes.

Seats in row 10 and 11, marked in yellow, do not have a porthole. Thus, completely losing their advantage over others of the same kind in other rows.

Also, attention! There are models that do not have this drawback, but there are liners in which they are located in 8, 9 and other rows.

Seats in rows 13 and 14 located near emergency exits. In this regard, the backs do not lean back (so as not to block the doors), or they have a limitation in this.

Also, passengers notice that in row 14 during the flight it is colder than in other places.

True, these places have an advantage - additional legroom and any of them can be left without disturbing the neighbors.

extreme places in row 16 in the first picture and at 15 the second one is probably the best. Their advantage is that you will have additional free space in front of you. You can stretch out, and if necessary, get up from any chair without disturbing your neighbors.

Places in the last row located near the toilet, in the tail. Most likely they do not recline, or have a limitation in this. Also, there may be a queue for the toilet. In general, definitely not business class.

Now in general, about the advantages and disadvantages of places.

Armchairs that are located near the porthole have the advantage that you can look into it and enjoy the views and flight (it all depends on the weather and flight time). No one will bother you when they sit down or get up from their seats. These places have one drawback - it's hard to get up from it without disturbing the neighbors.

The seats located in the middle do not have access to the window, but people scurrying down the aisle and flight attendants with carts do not bother either. It's easier to get up, interfering with just one person.
Seats located near the aisle have another advantage - it is easy to leave your seat, for example, to the toilet, or during an evacuation. Disadvantages: there is no access to the window, and flight attendants with carts and people passing through the cabin can also be disturbed.

Boeing 737-800 cabin map - Aeroflot

Let us consider in detail the layout of the Aeroflot Boeing 737-800 cabin and find out which places are better and which are worse.

1 to 5 p. - Business Class. Here you will be very comfortable.

6 p. - This is the first row of economy class in the cabin. The advantage of these places is the fact that there are no seats in front of them. This means that they will not recline the back of the seat in front of you. Another distance to the wall that separates the classes is quite large.

11 p .. In such a row (emergency hatches are located behind it), the seatbacks usually do not recline or they are limited in this. But, on the plan of the aircraft, which is taken from the official website of Aeroflot, this is not mentioned. This means that the row is located quite far from the exits and the usual ones are standard seats. However, be careful and specify this moment when registering.

12 rubles. There are pluses and minuses here. Let's start with the cons. This row is located between the emergency hatches that overlook the wing. The backs of the seats are locked precisely or have a slight inclination at all. For many hours it will be necessary to sit in one position upright. Now about the merits, or rather one, but very significant. Slightly increased the distance to 11 rows. You will be able to stretch your legs forward and get comfortable.

13 p. - the best seats of this plane. The backs recline like in standard chairs, the distance is increased to 12 rubles. Restrictions: 12 and 13 rubles. certain categories of passengers are prohibited: with animals, children, the disabled and the elderly. This is due to flight safety regulations.

27 p., D and C. People going to the toilet are sure to cause inconvenience.

28 rubles. The backs of the seats of the last row usually rest against the wall of the kitchen, toilet or some technical room, so they do not recline. But, on this plane, the advantage: the angle of inclination, like standard seats. In relation to the proximity to the toilets - people will constantly walk close to you and there may be small queues. Another constant sound of a closing / opening door and a tank will become your companion throughout the flight. These are quite restless and fussy places.

A couple of general points about the location of the seats in the Boeing 737-800 - their disadvantages and advantages.

1. Seats that are located next to the window have the advantage of being able to look into it during the flight (this, of course, depends on the time of flight and the weather). If you fly at night, this merit does not count. Another neighbor will not bother you if he wants to get up. These places have one drawback - it is not very convenient to leave it yourself. Therefore, if there is no need to go to the toilet often or you intend to oversleep the entire flight, choose seats by the window.

2. The seats, which are located near the aisle, have their own dignity - it is very easy to get up from it, if necessary, to the toilet. The disadvantages are that a neighbor can be disturbed if he needs to get up. Flight attendants with carts and passengers who pass through the cabin to the galley and toilets can also interfere. Therefore, if you are flying with a child and, most likely, you will often have to go to the toilet. Or you yourself have a need to go to the restroom more often, then choose from the edge of the seat.

Clear skies to you, as the pilots say, and a soft landing!

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 us 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 the 11th and 12th rows 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.

Results

As you can see, the selection criteria are simple. A thoughtful and planned approach is the key to a pleasant flight experience, because a well-chosen place for a trip sets the tone for any trip. And the ability to choose a comfortable option for yourself will turn into a good mood.

Many people often have to use airplanes when traveling on vacation or business trip. And what does everyone think about when they are going to fly somewhere? Of course, about a calm, safe and comfortable flight.

To do this, before taking a plane ticket, you need to make sure it is reliable and find out how the seats are located in the cabin. The main aircraft manufacturer is Boeing, which produces a wide range of aircraft of various types and configurations.

At the moment, the most widespread narrow-body jet passenger aircraft in the world are the Boeing 737 aircraft.

Since the Boeing 737-800 medium-haul aircraft has received the greatest popularity among the world's airlines, this article will be devoted to its characteristics and the location of seats in it.

This is the third group of aircraft from the Boeing 737 - Next Generation group, created in the company's competition with the Airbus A320 manufacturer. The aircraft differs from its predecessors in that a new generation of aircraft is being produced with digital cockpits, new wings extended by 5.5 m, tails and an improved engine.

The Boeing model 737-800 aircraft was developed to replace the Boeing model 737-400, began to be used in 1998-1999 and flies today. Two modifications of the aircraft of this model are produced: the version for passenger flights of the Boeing model BJ2 and the modification used for military purposes - the Boeing 737 type 800ERX.

The main characteristics of the Boeing 737-800

We list the main characteristics of the Boeing type 737-800 aircraft:

• its overall dimensions are 39.49 m (length) and 12.51 m (height);
• the span of each wing is 34.31 m and their area is 125 m.
• fuel tanks are quite capacious (volume -26,020 l), allowing the aircraft to fly over distances up to 5400 km;
• the aircraft allows you to reach speeds of up to 851 km / h, while the length of the run is 1,630 m;
• the aircraft is controlled by two pilots (there are only 2 seats for the crew).
• Salon can not be called so spacious. Its width is only - 3.54 m. This aircraft has seats for the first (189) and second (16) classes. By the way, the developer provides for the possibility of changing the location and changing the number of seats depending on the requirements of the customer. For example, in most airlines in the first (tourist) class there are 184 seats, and in the second - 12 (16) seats for business class and 144 seats (or 148) for economy class.

The number and location of seats in the Boeing 737-800

This plan shows a model of a Boeing 737-800 with 184 first class seats (no second class). In the diagram, the following places with a low degree of comfort are marked in red and yellow:

• first-row seats located near the galley (there is less legroom and a folding table is attached to the armrest);
• in rows 10 and 11 (there is no porthole);
• 13 and 14 rows (there, due to the location near the emergency exit, the chair cannot be folded back and there is a lower temperature near these seats).

The greatest discomfort is felt by passengers sitting in the seats of the last row. There, the seats do not recline and are located near the toilet. Places of increased comfort are marked in green (16th row). Due to the lack of front-facing chairs, you can freely stand up and stretch your legs.

This plan shows the cabin of a Boeing 737-800 with 16 seats for business class passengers and 144 for economy class passengers. In economy class, increased comfort can be experienced in the 15th row due to the lack of front seats.

Low comfort in the seats of the 7th row (the front partition between the classes is located there), in the 10-11th rows (there is no porthole), in the 13-16th rows (there are emergency exits and the wing closes the view from the window) and in the last row (there is toilet).

Boeing 737-800 security

Sometimes, unfortunately, aviation accidents happen, but the frequency of their manifestation is constantly decreasing, thanks to the constant work of the designers of the Boeing concern to improve the level of safety in aircraft structures.

Thus, in the aircraft of this company, the probability of losses is very low - several times lower than the general world indicator, for this reason, Boeing aircraft can rightfully be called safe. Use Boeing aircraft and all your fears about accidents and discomfort will definitely not be confirmed.
