See you again on board NordWind!

The first commercial launch of the Airbus A330-200 airliner took place in nineteen ninety-seven. This modification of the aircraft ranks second in the list of the most popular models of the European concern. This airliner is used on flights of Italian, French and American airlines, as well as by such carriers as " North wind" and "Aeroflot". Tourists who have had the opportunity to fly on board this aircraft note a high level of comfort even in the economy cabin. Despite this, it is important for travelers to choose a seat wisely in order to create the best conditions for long flight. In our article, we propose to discuss the location of seats on an Airbus A330-200 aircraft.

Features of the airliner

The aircraft model in question is used to service long-distance flights. Specialists of the European aircraft manufacturing concern were able to create an airliner capable of overcoming the mark of thirteen and a half thousand kilometers. Such aircraft can be used on those flights that involve flying across Atlantic Ocean. Domestic carriers use this modification of the Airbus to service the Moscow - Vladivostok route.

Quite interesting is the fact that the model in question was created on the basis of the three hundredth modification of this vessel. The changes made could significantly improve vehicle. The design of the airliner itself received several important innovations. Engineers reduced the length of the ship's fuselage to fifty-eight meters and eighty-two centimeters. Today, the two hundredth modification of the Airbus A-330 is considered to be the aircraft with the shortest fuselage among similar models. Another innovation is the change in the size of the keel.

The design itself is equipped with additional tanks where fuel is stored. They hold about one hundred and forty liters of combustible mixture, which is forty thousand more compared to other models. The only thing that has not changed in this vessel is the design of the wings and the cockpit. It has the same technology as other models. The airliner itself is equipped with two motors located under the wings. As a rule, the European concern uses engines produced by such well-known companies as General Electric and Rolls-Royce.

Interior arrangement

A company engaged in the construction of Airbuses offers its customers two types of airliners, differing in the design of their cabins. Major airlines prefer to use an aircraft divided into two classes. The option with one salon is chosen by companies serving charter flights. The absence of such separation allows us to equip four hundred and five seats for passengers.

On airplanes that use nine lines of seats, the width of each line is forty-two centimeters. If a division into eight rows is used, the width of each line increases to forty-five and a half centimeters. Among the advantages of this aircraft, we should highlight the multimedia system built into the back of most seats. Passengers can use this system to watch movies to pass the time.

Salon divided into two classes

As mentioned above, similar equipment is used by air carriers serving regular flights. The cabin of such aircraft is divided into business class and economy zone. There are several different types of a given airliner, differing in the way seats are installed. On the official website of each carrier, a diagram of the A330-200 aircraft used by a specific transport service is published. Below we offer a brief overview of the main differences between the aircraft used by popular airlines:

1. IFly. The ships used by this transport company can accommodate two hundred and sixty-nine people. Eighteen seats are provided to accommodate passengers who have purchased business class tickets. For business class, there are three lines of seats located between the cockpit and service blocks. Between the business class and the economy part of the cabin there are sanitary facilities and a kitchen. There are two hundred and fifty-one seats in the economy part of the cabin.
2. Aeroflot. The aircraft used as the flagship of domestic aviation are designed for two hundred and twenty-nine passengers. Business class has five rows of six seats. Classes of service are separated by a partition. Sanitary blocks and a kitchen are located at the rear of the liner and a small area that divides the economy block into two parts. In the economy compartment, the seats are installed in a “two-four-two” pattern.
3. « Turkish Airlines». This airline uses three different models the aircraft in question, accommodating two hundred twenty, two hundred fifty or two hundred eighty one passengers. The main modification used by this carrier is a divided cabin into two comfort classes. In the “business” area there are twenty-two chairs installed in a “two-three-two” pattern. Business class is equipped between a bar and a kitchen block. Exits from the vessel are equipped at the tail and bow of the liner. Escape hatches are located between the twentieth and twenty-first rows.
4. "North wind". This carrier operates an aircraft that can accommodate two hundred and eighty-three passengers. Twenty-four seats are allocated for business class. In the economical block, the seats are installed in a “two-four-two” pattern. Sanitary and other technical units are located at the bow and tail of the ship, as well as between classes.

Attention should be paid to the fact that the same airline may operate aircraft with seating arrangements that differ from the standards described above.

In order to gain access to the diagram of a specific aircraft, you must indicate its tail number on the corresponding page on the carrier’s website. Information about the vessel's tail number can be found in travel documents.

Liners with one comfort class

As a rule, such airliners are used by organizations servicing charter flights. Among domestic airlines using the Airbus A330-200, it is necessary to highlight IFly. This carrier is the only transport service using the modification in question. The liner in question can accommodate three hundred and twenty-five passengers.

The first block has sixty-six seats, considered places of increased comfort. The second block has one hundred and fifty-five seats. The third block is designed for one hundred and four passengers. Tourists using the services of this carrier should take into account that the front rows have narrow seats. As a rule, seats are installed in a “three-three-three” pattern. Sanitary blocks and utility rooms are located at the bow and tail of the vessel. The exits from the liner are also located here.

Best Seating

The layout of the Airbus A330-200 cabin indicates that the most convenient and comfortable seats are installed in business class. However, even in this zone there are places that have disadvantages. Experienced tourists do not recommend choosing chairs from the last line, as they are located close to the sanitary blocks and kitchen. Smells, noise and the constant movement of passengers can interfere with proper rest. The seats located in this part of the cabin have a fully reclining backrest, which allows you to turn the chair into a full-fledged one. sleeping area. Passengers can stretch their legs without fear of causing discomfort to others.

Business class seats are quite expensive. Travelers who want to save on flights and get the most comfortable conditions for a long voyage are recommended to pay increased attention to the issue of choice seat. Aeroflot customers are recommended to choose seats located in the following rows:

1. 11 line. This row of seats is located behind the partition that separates economy from business class. In this row, the seats are installed in a two-three-two pattern. Travelers flying in this area can stretch their legs without fear of inconveniencing other passengers. Please note that seats in this sector are provided for passengers with children, as there is a special mount for installing a cradle. Being with a restless child can affect your flight experience.
2. Twenty-third line. This row is behind another partition that divides the economy cabin into two parts. There is enough space to move freely. Among the disadvantages of this place, the proximity to sanitary blocks should be highlighted.

Among the places that have pronounced shortcomings, it is necessary to note the entire twenty-second line, as well as those seats that are installed from the thirty-third to thirty-sixth row. The first zone is located in front of the evacuation hatches, which prevents the seat back from changing position. The disadvantage of the second zone is the narrowing of the fuselage, as well as the presence of various equipment installed under the seats.

Other places in this aircraft do not have pronounced advantages and disadvantages. Those travelers who are concerned about choosing a seat are advised to carefully study the aircraft layout. In addition, you can ask the airline employees who check in for the flight for help in choosing a seat. Travelers wishing to be closer to the sanitary blocks are advised to choose seats near the aisle. Those tourists planning to relax during a long flight are advised to reserve window seats.

When traveling long distances, it is recommended to avoid seats located in the rear section, in front of bulkheads and evacuation hatches. It should be remembered that these chairs do not recline. Passengers who choose these seats are forced to spend the entire flight in one position. Tall tourists are advised to choose seats near the aisle. This choice allows you to stand up for a short time to stretch your stiff limbs.

Conclusion

In this article we looked at the question of what the Airbus A330-200 looks like, Aeroflot cabin layout, best places and different areas of this vessel. Travel Specialists by air they say that all the seats on this ship are quite comfortable for long-distance flights. However, when choosing a seat, it is recommended to avoid places where the seat backs do not recline. Only a vessel with one comfort class has pronounced disadvantages. The proximity of the seats to each other affects the comfort of travel.

The Airbus A330 200 is the smallest aircraft in the A330 line. Like many airliners, it also has several configurations. Let's look at some of them. The first is a two-class configuration, it can accommodate up to 300 passengers. The second is a three-class cabin and can accommodate up to 253 people.

Consider the diagram in detail airbus cabin The a330 200 will be available below or on the official website of Aeroflot. Let’s still figure out which seats on the plane are worth taking and which ones are best avoided.

Business Class

Business class has 6 rows. On an airliner of this model, the seats can recline up to 180 degrees, this is done so that the passenger can rest peacefully during the flight, especially on night flights. Probably no one will like to spend a large number of time sitting, much less sleeping in this position. But let's talk about the disadvantages of this class.

Since the aircraft is not large, the technical rooms are located closer to the rows, and this causes additional discomfort for many passengers. Since the lights in the technical rooms are almost never turned off, and airline employees constantly walk there. Because of this, additional noise appears that enters the business class lounge. These places include rows from the first to the fourth; they can hear very well what is happening in the kitchen and the constant light prevents them from sleeping normally and relaxing.

The fifth row is located next to the restroom, and the passenger in this row has to constantly endure queues for it and the constant flow of people to the technical room. Also, passengers in this row constantly have to hear the magnetic lock to the toilet opening and closing. And sitting near the restroom in itself does not give anyone a pleasant feeling.

Passengers in the last row (6) are forced to constantly hear noise from economy class, as they are very close to each other. However, this is not all the disadvantages of this class. There is space for strollers on the 11th row. And you can hear them very well in the sixth row. As a rule, small children are not the best neighbors for a smooth flight.

Economy class

Starting from 11 and ending at 37, economy class begins. The main disadvantages are that monitors are inserted into the armrests, due to which the seats are immediately inferior in comfort. Also, the sonnet has large monitors, which in most cases are simply not turned off, this greatly interferes with the sleep of many passengers.

Row 23 is one of standard seats in this class, the backrest of the seat reclines so that the passenger can rest peacefully. But the disadvantage of this row is that it is located in close proximity to the toilet. The passenger has to constantly watch large queues, and it is also possible that an unpleasant smell may appear from this technical room. Because of this, passengers in this row experience great discomfort and inconvenience.

Places A, C, H and K on row 24 can be classified as places with increased comfort, since they are closest to the emergency exit where, for safety reasons, a certain distance must be maintained. In most cases, passengers take advantage of this and try to occupy this free space with their outstretched legs and so on.

But these places also have the disadvantage of a nearby toilet. Passengers in these seats may have to put up with big amount people, unpleasant smells and sounds, and so on.

And seats D, E, F and G on row 24 are adjacent to wheelchair mounts. There may be passengers with children next to you. Because of this, it will no longer be called a calm flight. It is also worth remembering that the large monitors that were mentioned earlier are located in front of these seats; they are not turned off throughout the flight. This will cause you even more discomfort during the flight.

When purchasing tickets, you should know that starting from the 33rd row, the fuselage will narrow; although the changes will be almost imperceptible, it will cause a certain amount of discomfort. It's also worth considering that some configurations include huge steel boxes containing important equipment. They are located mainly under the seats in front, due to which passengers lose free space under the front seats; you will no longer be able to straighten your legs there.

It is also worth remembering that due to the narrowing of the aisle, the seats in row 34 bulge out a little, which is why other passengers and flight attendants may hit them with a food cart. It is also worth knowing that the distance between the 34th and 35th rows is slightly less than the standard, because of this the 35th row loses even more free space than the previous rows. Rows 36 and 37 are also located too close to the restroom and passengers feel tense throughout the entire flight.

Tips for future passengers on the airbus industry A330

Firstly, before choosing a seat and buying tickets, you should look at the plane diagram and choose the most the best option for you, you can also consult about a place at the box office when purchasing a ticket.

Secondly, do not buy or try not to buy a seat where there will be a problem with reclining the seat back, especially do not neglect this if the flight is long.

Thirdly, when choosing a seat, pay attention to the number of technical rooms near it; because of them, passengers are often dissatisfied with the flight. Always try to choose the quietest and most comfortable place just for you. And most importantly, consider seats in the rear of the plane only if there are no other options left.

It is worth remembering all these tips and your journey along air routes will be as comfortable and unforgettable as possible.
