Scheme of the Boeing 777 300 Aeroflot

Aeroflot is the largest airline in Russia. In the carrier's fleet, among other reliable aircraft, there are several dozen Boeing liners from the largest American manufacturer. This corporation has 2 divisions, of which Boeing Commercial Airplanes is engaged in civil aviation. The main production facilities for the production of aircraft are located in Seattle, where the world-famous corporation was once born.

Boeing 777

The first models of wide-body aircraft under the index "3 sevens" began to be produced in the early 90s of the last century, they are intended for operation on long-haul routes. The Boeing 777 is completely different from all previous models of this brand, not only in the degree of comfort. This machine can be called the embodiment of a virtual idea, since it was completely developed on a computer.

The 777th liner made its first commercial flight in 1995 and immediately gained popularity. Nowadays, all the leading airlines in the world strive to have cars of this model in their fleet (Russia did not stand aside either). Aeroflot's fleet was replenished from 2013 to 2017 with 16 Boeing 777-300er (type B 77w) airliners, the average age of which is a little over a year.

In total, the corporation has developed several options for liners with 3 sevens:

• the base model is the Boeing 777-200, designed for a flight range of 4.2 thousand nautical miles (7.78 thousand km);
• the Boeing 777-200 / ep model is an option for increased range - at least 6.6 thousand nautical miles (12.22 thousand km);
• 7.8 thousand nautical miles (14.45 thousand km) easily overcome the 777-200 / LR models;
• The 300th modification is a slightly modified version of the 200th, which received a more elongated fuselage. It has become an excellent replacement for the Boeing 747 model;
• Boeing 777-300er, which Aeroflot uses on international flights, are designed for increased range and are able to compete with Airbus.

The powerful jet turbofan engines installed on it allow to carry out long flights of this model.

Specifications

Today the Boeing 777-300 / ep is one of the best-selling aircraft in the world due to its technical characteristics. The 2-motor scheme used in the car allowed to reduce operating costs by 9%, and fuel costs by 20%. The main parameters of this model are shown in the table below.

Boeing 777-300 / ER technical features

This model also differs in its interior. The largest windows were used in these aircraft. The configuration of the cabin makes it possible to move freely around it. And since 2003, the 77w has introduced resting places for the crew, making long-distance flights.

Seating scheme in the aircraft cabin

The Boeing 777-300 / ep aircraft differ in the seating layout. In this model, there are no longer 2 classes of service, but 3:

• 30 seats with enhanced comfort are allocated for "business";
• for "economy" - 324 seats;
• Between the 2 main compartments there is also a “comfort” class for 48 seats.

The layout of the Aeroflot Boeing 777 300 is shown in Fig. below.

Description of places by blocks of rows

The entire Boeing 777-300 / ER inside the cabin is designed for maximum passenger comfort. But, as with any liner, there are good and worse seats (especially for passengers with children). This applies not only to the economy class, such a gradation exists in other compartments.

Business Class

Business Class in the 77w is a premium environment. Comfortable leather chairs occupy 5 rows and are arranged in a 3x2 pattern (with 2 aisles).

Note! The seats are located one after another at a distance of 150 cm, which allows the chairs to be converted into beds (even in the last row), without causing discomfort to neighbors.

All the seats in the compartment can be called comfortable enough, but there are still unwanted seats: the 1st row is located not far from the toilet. This will not cause aesthetic inconveniences in this class of service, but walking of people can interfere with rest. Although this particular row is preferable for passengers with small children, since there are devices for attaching the cradle.

Comfort class

This compartment is more convenient for passengers as compared to the economy class, but is somewhat inferior to the business option. The arrangement of the seats here is as follows: 6 rows (from 11 to 16) contain 4 chairs in the center, and each of the sides has 2 chairs.

Note! The distance between the seats is optimal so that you can travel reclining. But in this compartment, it is not the backs of the seats that recline, but the seats that move forward, which is convenient for passengers in the back.

The 11th row is provided for passengers with babies, since there is where to hang the cradle. But for others, such a neighborhood may not be entirely desirable. It will be difficult to relax on this row also because of the close-located partition (you cannot fully stretch your legs).

In front of the same row, a toilet is located at the left side, which also cannot be called a pleasant neighborhood. The 16th row is also inconvenient, since a thin partition is installed behind the seats, through which noise is heard from the economy class cabin.

Economy class

The largest compartment is the economic compartment. It is divided into sections - in the middle, each row contains 4 chairs, in the side ones - 3 each (with some exceptions, they are visible in the above diagram).

Most of the seats on the plane are standard, with an average degree of comfort. But here we can highlight some of the features of a number of passenger seats - they are shown in the table below (the layout of the Boeing 777-300 / EP cabin is taken as a basis).

Features of some seats in Economy Class

Having studied the layout of the best seats in the Boeing 777-300 / ER cabin and clarified some of the features, it will be easier to book tickets for this Aeroflot aircraft for a long-distance comfortable flight.

If you are unlucky enough to take the highest priority seats on the plane, do not despair. Most of the seats can be quite comfortable if they are located in the middle of the cabin and not adjacent to the aisles. The remoteness of the windows can even be a plus for those who are afraid of flying.

Facilities

Monitors are mounted on the rear walls of the seat backs, allowing passengers to have a little fun during the flight. The entertainment system allows you to enjoy watching interesting films or programs, listening to music and even reading online books. Little passengers will also find entertainment for themselves - they can play computer games or watch their favorite cartoons.

This diversity on board the aircraft ensures Internet accessibility. You can also connect a gadget at hand (mobile phone, tablet, laptop) to it.

Business and comfort classes have large monitors and comfortable wide armrests between the chairs. Each seat is equipped with controlled lighting.

If the price of the issue when buying a ticket does not matter, then choosing a seat on a Boeing 777 aircraft is in the deluxe compartments. But even in economy class, you can accommodate comfortably if you correctly assess the situation and set your own priorities.
