Boeing 777 200er seats. North wind. Characteristics of the VP-BJF board layout

Many Russian companies have purchased small but comfortable aircraft from the American Boeing company for charter and regular flights. Let's take a look at the layout of the Boeing 777-200 (Wim Avia) cabin, and figure out which seats can be called the best and which ones are the worst. The cabin of this aircraft is divided into several parts, but all of its seats have only one comfort class - economy class. The main differences between the places are in the proximity of the location of toilets, kitchens, partitions and an emergency exit. They also note the convenience in those places where you can freely stretch your legs and lower the seat to a recumbent position.

Location of special rooms

Before choosing a seat in the Boeing 777-200 (Wim), it is better to consider the layout of the cabin in advance. This will make it possible to better understand where the office premises are located in the cabin. Two toilets are located in the bow and one in the middle. But here, too, there are differences in comfort.

The toilets at the beginning of the cabin are located behind a partition and do not actually interfere with passengers. There is also a kitchen in the bow, from which people can hear the noise of dishes and the smell of coffee. Another room is located at the very end, in the tail section, as can be seen on the layout of the Boeing 777-200 (Wim Avia) cabin. Also, after the 9th and 19th rows, emergency exits are located, which also has its pros and cons, which we will dwell on in more detail later.

The best places

The most comfortable seats are usually considered to be remote from the office space, where neither the sounds nor the smells of the toilet and kitchen are heard. It is especially worth considering when buying tickets for passengers with children, tall citizens with long legs, people with problems of the genitourinary system. Everyone on the Boeing 777-200 (Wim Avia) cabin layout can pre-view and think over the seats that are convenient for themselves, depending on the needs and tastes of an individual.

Some people love the very first row. Firstly, it is located right behind the cockpit, the toilet is not far, the kitchen is nearby, you can be the first to get food or coffee, talk to the flight attendants, but there is one "but". On one of the armrests there is a small table that cannot be removed. It turns out that one armrest cannot be used. But all the same, passengers like these seats due to the fact that you can stretch your legs well. However, people do not advise taking tickets near the aisle, since in the Boeing 777-200 from Wim Avia, the layout of the cabin shows that there are two toilets in the bow at once, but there may still be a queue for the bathroom in the aisle.

Even in terms of seats, the 10th row is considered good. Here, on each side of the aisle, there are not three, but only two seats. In front is a passage to emergency exits. You can perfectly stretch your legs forward, without disturbing anyone, get up and go to the toilet, while also not disturbing anyone. However, there is one "but" in such beautiful places. According to safety rules, passengers with children cannot sit down in such best places on the Wim Avia Boeing 777-200 cabin layout, take carry-on luggage with them, or put a bag in the aisle. The emergency exit must be free at all times. Keep the bag on the top shelf above your head.

Seats of average comfort

The main part of the aircraft cabin has the usual standard seats of the same level of comfort. These are seats from the second to the eighth row, from the 12th to the 18th and from the 22nd to 39th rows. One difference is a small feature of these aircraft. In the middle of the cabin (but, unfortunately, it is not known exactly where) there is one row, which has no portholes at two opposite ends. But many people do not call this a minus of the cabin, apparently because of the fear of heights, and there is less cold from the glass.

Worst places

Previously, the best seats on the layout of the Boeing 777-200 from Wim Avia have been reviewed. It remains to understand which seats are considered uncomfortable? Seats in the 9th row are considered bad due to the fact that their backs do not recline for rest, since there is an emergency exit at the back. For safety reasons, this is strictly prohibited so as not to obstruct the hatches. In the 19th row - the same principle, but there the seats can be lowered slightly, but the backrest angle is minimal.

Also considered bad seats at the end of the cabin. This is the last 40th row. The backs rest against the wall. Naturally, they do not go down. Moreover, at the end of the plane there is a strong hum from the engines and is much cooler than at the front.

Nordwind

The same Boeing 777-200 was purchased by another Russian airline called North Wind. This liner accommodates two types of seats - business class and economy. They are purchased for long flights and are designed for heavy traffic. It can carry up to 393 passengers.

Let's take a closer look at which seats are the best on the Boeing 777-200 cabin layout from the North Wind. Of course, the most comfortable seats in business class. There are only 6 seats, a huge legroom - 127 cm. The seats are installed in pairs. After this class, there is a dividing solid partition. The economic class is already behind it.

The seats are arranged in three columns (3 - 4 - 3), between them there are two passages 74 cm wide. For passengers of the 5th and 6th rows, the legs cannot be straightened, and you do not really want to look at the blank partition in front of your eyes all the way. But the seats in front of emergency exits (12th and 14th rows, 38th and 39th rows) are always considered less comfortable, since their backs do not drop. The seats of the last rows also do not fall, they rest against the wall of the tail compartment, so it is better not to take the 57th and 58th rows, if possible. Especially if the flight is long.

Aeroflot

Finally, consider the best seats on the Boeing 777-300 cabin from Aeroflot. For long-haul flights to America and China, the number of seats has been increased to 402. The cabin is divided into three classes: business, comfort and economy.

The comfort of the seats depends on the fundamental principles described earlier. We will not repeat ourselves. Consider comfort class. Here, each person has his own lamp and monitor, a folding table. The seat slides forward without disturbing other passengers.

But the best seats on the Boeing 777-300 cabin from Aeroflot are business class seats. A personal menu is given, many additional features and entertainment. But the price, of course, is appropriate.

The Boeing 777 is a family of wide-body airliners designed to carry passengers over long distances. It is known in the aviation environment as the Boeing Three Sevens. The development of the aircraft began in the 90s of the XX century, the first flight was already made in 1994, and serial operation since 1995.

The peculiarity of the Boeing 777 is a full-fledged development outside of paper drawings: the airliner was completely developed on a computer in the most modern program at that time.

The Boeing 777 family of airliners can accommodate an average of 400 passengers, depending on the configuration presented, with a flight range from 9 to 17 thousand kilometers. The maximum set record was 21 thousand kilometers. The Boeing 777 is by far the largest twin-engine airliner in the world with the most powerful jet engines in aviation history and with 6-wheel landing gear.

Boeing 777-200

The 200th modification of the Boeing 777 is the first to be put into serial use. This particular aircraft made a test flight with the Pratt and Whitney engine in 1994, then modifications with other jet engines were tested for further use in 1995. The liner can accommodate from 305 to 440 passengers, depending on the layout of the cabin.

When designing the aircraft, the manufacturer paid special attention to the wishes of the passengers. The Boeing 777-200 aircraft has such advantages as a soft take-off and landing process, almost complete absence of engine noise, business class seats with increased comfort and ergonomics (wide shelves to accommodate hand luggage). Since the plane is designed for long enough flights, many airlines are integrating modern multimedia systems into the backs of their seats for entertainment during the flight.

Boeing 777-200ER: features and benefits

What else is different about the plane? Boeing 777-200 ER is also a long-haul airliner with a wide fuselage, which is a modification of the 777-200 with a higher take-off weight and flight length.

Airplane Boeing 777-200 ER is able to accommodate from 314 to 440 passengers and fly over a distance of up to 14 thousand kilometers. The main purpose of this aircraft is tedious transatlantic transportation, which takes an average of 14 hours.

The first flight of the modification took place in 1996, and commercial operation began in early 1997. To this day, the main competitor is A 330-300 made by the company Airbus with lighter weight as well as more modern pilot systems.

Nevertheless, in aggregate, more than eight hundred aircraft of the 777-300 version were sold. ER ... This makes this model the most demanded in the 777 family by both foreign and Russian air carriers. For example, the company "North Wind".

Seat map "Boeing 777-200" "Nord Wind"

Airline Nordwind Airlines ("Nord Wind", or "North Wind") was registered in May 2008 as a company engaged in international charter passenger and cargo transportation. The route network of this company covers almost the whole world, in particular, the popular resorts.

The company's fleet consists of 21 aircraft, three of which - Boeing 777-200 modifications " ER ": VP - BJF, VP - BJH, VQ - BUD. VP modification - BJF first flew in 1998, airliners VP - BJH and VP - BJF - in 2004. All liners were bought by North Wind from Asian airlines such as Singapore Airlines, Vietnam Airlines and China Airlines, which used the 777-200 ER for flights across the Pacific Ocean, as well as to Europe.

The best seats of the Boeing 727-200 Nord Wind

Let's dwell on the placement on the plane. The layout of the Boeing 777-200 (Nord Wind) aircraft modification VP - BJH and VP - BJF is arranged as follows: three-four-three, some rows: two-four-two, and in business class - two seats in each row. The essential difference is that in VP - BJH there are only 30 business class seats, while the other has only 6. The total number of seats according to the Boeing 777-200 (Nord Wind) cabin layout is 285 and 393 seats, respectively. This confirms the fact that the Boeing 777-200 can be used for long-distance flights or on a route with a decent passenger traffic.

In VQ -BUD, which was used for flights from Vietnam to Australia, the USA, as well as European countries, with a total of 6 business class seats and 387 economy class seats. This makes the layout of the Boeing 777-200 (Nord Wind) cabin similar to the younger aircraft. VP - BJF , both by the location of the seats in the cabin and by the intended purpose. The arrangement of the seats in the business class is similar to that of the brothers, but the economy class is arranged according to a three-four-three scheme, which is one of the worst configurations of the cabin of the Boeing 727-200 of the Nord Wind airline due to the fact that passengers can turn out to be cramped enough.

The best aircraft seats in all the presented layouts are 5-6, 20-21, 45-46 for VP - BJF; 5-6, 12, 14 (A, C, H, K), 15 (C, H), 33-34 for VQ - BUD; 31.46 for VP - BJH - due to the sufficient amount of legroom during a long flight, but with a significant disadvantage - possible noise and smell from the toilet. All other places are limited in space, without a reclining back, in the aisle or next to the kitchen.

Outcomes

Summing up the merits and demerits Boeing 777-200, it is worth coming to the conclusion that the aircraft turns out to be quite flexible both for the client's requirements and for the needs of airlines of any destination - charter or regular.

It should be noted that many companies take these airliners for the needs of their market, but some Russian companies buy them out after operating in other countries. This is evidenced by the layout of the Boeing 777-200 Nord Wind cabin, where the spacing of economy class seats is within 74 centimeters, and the backrest angle is much less than in similar modifications of other airlines engaged in regular transportation.

However, despite the disadvantages, the 777-200 remains the most attractive of the Boeing lineup for a long flight in combination with a large capacity, the possibility of autonomous flight up to 2 hours with the engine off, as well as convenience for passengers of all classes.

Airline "North Wind" or Nordwind is popular with Russian passengers. The carrier offers flights at affordable prices throughout the country and abroad. The company's fleet has aircraft of many brands, but the most popular is the Boeing 777-200 (three liners in total).

Boeing 777-200 ER

Boeings appeared in 1994. Then they were noticed by many world airlines and purchased in the fleet. Due to their good technical characteristics, the aircraft were used for medium and long-range flights. Specifications:

Length - 64 m.
The wingspan is 60 m.
The capacity is up to 400 people.
The maximum speed is 965 km / h.
The maximum flight range is up to 15,000 km.

Airline aircraft

It has three Boeing aircraft with tail numbers - VP-BJB, VQ-BUD and VP-BJF. Each plane has already served more than once other companies, even Asian ones.

VP-BJB. He started work in 1998 in the fleet of China Southern Airlines, where he stayed until 2013, and then ended up with Nord Wind.
VQ-BUD. He also started flights in 1998, changed several airlines, including Aeroflot and Vietnamese Airlines. He joined the company "North Wind" in 2014.
VP-BJF. A little younger than their fellows. In 2004 he joined China Southern Airlines, where he flew until 2013, and then moved to the current airline.

Each aircraft is supposed to use two classes - business and economy. By the way, the Boeing's capacity exceeds 380 people, and sometimes it reaches 400.

Interior layout

Although there are two classes of service, no more than 10 seats are most often allocated for business class. In economy class, the seating is most often according to the layout "3-4-3", which is why the aisles are narrowed. In general, the aircraft cabin looks like this:

In the tail of the aircraft, sometimes the seats are set according to the "2-4-2" scheme, which means that the passage becomes wider. The plane has 4 exits, this factor should be taken into account when choosing the best seat in the cabin.

The business class seats are very comfortable, there is a lot of legroom, the backrests recline at a large angle. Economy class chairs have armrests, the backs recline on all rows, but on some not much. There is a dark carpet on the floor. Each chair has a folding table, seat belts, a pocket for personal belongings. Economy seats in a Boeing 777-200 "Nord Wind" look something like this:

The best seats on the plane

Best places:

First row Are business class seats. Here the seats are arranged in pairs, the distance between the seats is increased. The backrests can recline more and additional legroom is provided. The seats themselves are more comfortable here than in the other class. They look something like the photo:

Fifth row... It is with him that the economy class begins. It is interesting that in this row there are only central seats from D to G. There are conveniences here: there will be a partition in front of you, not chairs, which means that the seats will not recline on you. But, on the other hand, because of the partition it will be impossible to spread your legs, and you will also have to look at the wall, because there are not even windows nearby.
Sixth row... This is the first row for economy class, where all the seats from A to K appear. But the side seats are comfortable here - A, B, C, H, J and K. There is increased legroom in these places, the partition will not bother you. Plus, lunch will be served first, so you won't have to wait long.
20 and 21 rows... They are a bit similar to rows 5 and 6, but they are located not behind the business class, but behind the toilet. There is a little more legroom here, but the proximity to the restrooms may seem like a big disadvantage to some, because people will often walk. And there is also a buffet nearby, from where the smells of food can be heard, but for some it may be a plus.
45 and 46 rows... The same as the previous ones. There will be a wall in front of you, a toilet room is located nearby - all these are certainly disadvantages, but the advantages are legroom, the absence of neighbors in front.

In general, all seats have their advantages and disadvantages, so there are almost no best seats in the Boeing 777-200 without any drawbacks. Choose places that seem convenient for you. Perhaps a toilet located near you is a plus for someone. In addition, some parts of the cabin copy each other. Some of the rows have similar characteristics, so choose a seat because of the location on the plane. On the wings it is less rocking, and in the tail section it has a great view. Choose everything according to your taste.

Good places

The following places can be called relatively good:

12 row, seats from A to H... This is the last row in front of the kitchen, which means you may be allowed to recline a little more. Row 14 has similar properties. But these seats are in front of the emergency exit and the toilet, so people will often pass by.
46 row, seats D - G... The row is located after the toilet, there is a little more legroom, but the eyes will rest against the wall.
53 row, seats C and H... This is the last row, where the seats are three, and it is these seats that can recline the back more, but at the same time you can be hurt by flight attendants or passengers, since the aisle between the seats remains narrow.
55 and 56 row... The seats are 2-4-2, the outermost seats A, C, H and K are comfortable. These seats are especially good if you are traveling together. The passage here increases slightly.

These seats also have their advantages and disadvantages, it is good to sit here, but there may be some inconveniences.

Worst places

But here are the places that you shouldn't choose under any circumstances:

30-39 rows... According to passengers, air conditioning does not always work here, which means it is stuffy. Not the best option for older passengers.
38 and 39 rows... The seats in the last row are not worth choosing. Behind them is the wall of the toilet room, which means that the backs will not recline completely. Plus, because of the closeness to the restroom, people will crowd around you, and food and drinks will be served almost last.
57 and 58 rows... Although the side seats in these rows are located in pairs, there are still drawbacks. They are similar to 38 and 39 next to each other, there is a wall behind, the backs recline weakly, people pass by often, noise will be created. In addition, these are the very last rows of the plane, if the exits are not opened from the back, then you will be the last to leave.

You can survive the flight in any place, but if the choice of a seat is fundamental for you, then you should not choose these particular seats.

Conclusion

North Wind Airlines is proud of its Boeing 777-200, because they are excellent carriers of passengers for medium and long distances. Comfort and convenience will accompany you throughout the flight, but try to choose the best seats that will be convenient for you. Choose the correct part of the plane. Remember, the center seats are not the most convenient, so if you do not have time to choose a seat on the edge, then you will most likely get the seat in the center row. Although such a flight is easy to survive, the main thing is to tune in to the beautiful and think about the upcoming vacation.

The company "Nord Wind" will take you to your dream, because it has been flying for more than 9 years and during this time it has earned the love of its passengers.

Ladies and Gentlemen! I would like to dispel all doubts about the services and the quality of the services provided on the flights of the North Wind airline! I myself have repeatedly used the services of the tour operator Pegas Turistik and on flights of various airlines from Orenburg Airlines to Emirates, and there is something to compare with!

Fleet
North Wind is a relatively young airline and has made significant strides since entering the charter market!
Having started its activities in December 2008, with a fleet of 3 Boeing 757-200 aircraft, and with an asset of 27 aircraft to date:
Boeing 757-200 - 4 (VQ-BBU, VQ-BHR, VQ-BJK, VQ-BKM);
Boeing 767-300 - 12 (VP-BMC, VP-BOQ, VP-BOY, VP-BOZ, VP-BRL, VP-BWW, VP-BWX, VQ-BMQ, VQ-BMU, VQ-BOG, VQ-BPT , VQ-BRA);
Boeing 777-200 - 2 (VP-BJB, VP-BJF);
Airbus A320 - 1 (VP-BJH);
Airbus A321 - 7 (VP-BGH, VP-BRD, VQ-BOD, VQ-BOE, VQ-BRM, VQ-BRN, VQ-BRO).
The average age of the entire park is 14 years! There is nothing for the air fleet!

The air carrier does not plan to stop at what has been achieved, and in the near future the arrival of new types of aircraft is expected!

Base airports
Flights are operated from many regions of our homeland, the base airports are Moscow-Sheremetyevo, Terminal C, Krasnoyarsk-Emelyanovo, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Antalya, Bangkok!
At these airports, there is a comprehensive aircraft service, from technical to washing blankets for passengers.
In other cities, a limited range of services is performed: cleaning the aircraft cabin, loading in-board meals and equipment for servicing passengers on the flight. And at all, it is not because of savings that blankets are replaced or general dry cleaning of the salon is not carried out, but for technical reasons and in time! Imagine just 1 hour of parking from the moment of landing until the moment the plane departs, what can you do during this time?

Service classes
Today the North Wind offers three classes of passenger service: Business, comfort and economy (for passengers traveling on a BOEING 777-200 aircraft. Layout 24/53/207);
Boeing 767-300 ships have two classes of service: business and economy;
Boeing 757-200, Airbus A321 one class - economy;
Airbus A320, business and economy.
Read more about the advantages of buying a ticket for a business and comfort class on the tour operator's website

Salon
At the moment, on most aircraft, the interior has been replaced with red leather seats, it looks not bad enough. No more and no less legroom than other carriers! The backrests of the seats facing the emergency exit do not recline! According to flight safety requirements! As well as the tables at the seats located in the row, at the emergency exit, they should not open when the latch is turned to the side of the emergency exit. This requirement is controlled by the international authority SAFA!

In-flight services

When boarding the aircraft, you will be greeted by friendly flight attendants! They will prompt you the location of the desired row and the seat number!

When placing, try not to linger in the aisles, do not create congestion. Place all your belongings in the overhead racks, or under the chairs in front of you!
Transfer to free seats, but wait until the passengers boarding ends!

Try not to stuff your suitcases on the luggage racks when the PSUs perform the emergency exits demonstration, if you are not interested, this does not mean that the passengers sitting behind you are also indifferent to this information!

From the press, the glossy magazine Pegasus is presented, you can find it in the pocket of the chair in front of you. I recently read a fresh issue.

Caramel, a separate topic for discussion, it becomes funny to read where they complain about such a trifle! Flying with regular lines of the national carrier - Aeroflot, are you offered caramel? If your ears are really blocked, take a deep breath with your mouth! And the pain will relieve instantly! Or you can take care of yourself and buy some candy or chewing gum before you fly!

Do not jump out of your seats or unfasten your seat belts! Until the "Fasten your seat belts" board went out! What's the rush?

During the flight, a comfortable temperature is set in the cabin, +27 ... 29 "C, if it is cool, they are offered blankets first of all for children! It will remain if adults are not deprived! Proven by experience! I personally remember from childhood how I got cold on the plane , 134 flew on the carcass, so since then I always take a light blouse with me and never wear open shoes, since the air is supplied from the floor and goes upstairs.

Soft drinks are offered on the flight (as a rule, these are juices: tomato, orange, apple, water, and carbonated drinks). As well as cold or hot meals, depending on the duration of the flight. There is really not always enough to choose from hot, but personally I am not whimsical, and if I did not get meat, then I will not give up chicken! Or just have a snack from lunch! Most often, the choice is from 2 types of hot dishes, which are loaded 50/50%. And the quality, or rather the taste of the dish, depends on the local food shop, where it was loaded! If you write reviews about the dishes offered to you, then it is better to find the contacts of the restaurant where this dish was prepared.

I flew to Tenerife and Barcelona, noticed that before landing, they were offered additional soft drinks, which was a very pleasant surprise!

After the service, the children sitting next to them were offered children's magazines and sets. Which by the way very reassured the restless children, 4-5 years old.

Cleanliness in salons and washrooms

First of all, it depends on ourselves! Those. Passengers!
It was very unpleasant when I took the safety instructions from the pocket of the chair and covered myself with chewing gum, and also found a toothpick there! Do not understand, you also hide all the garbage in the pillows on the couch at home? Well, as a last resort, put it in a hygienic bag or you can throw it in the bin in the toilet.
The plane is cleaned by ground services, and it is not realistic for a team of 4-6 cleaners to clean all 300 seats and bring them into a perfect, pristine appearance in 30 minutes! Cleanly, not where they clean, but where they do not litter!

The toilets are not always in perfect condition, but as I have observed, the flight attendants go there on the flight and try to keep order! But this cannot be done after every passenger! Therefore, try to remember a few simple rules: all garbage in the bin, as a rule, must be signed, do not try to shove paper into all the cracks and compartments
Toilets are vacuum, and it is advisable to refrain from any stool urinated and that's enough! The paper is also in the bin!
Well, please wipe the sink with a paper towel after using it! Consider that you are visiting!

Turbulence and Signal Lights Fasten Belts and No Smoking

During the passage of turbulence zones, there may be bumpiness! Therefore, for the sake of your own safety, you do not rush to the toilet rooms, but you are in a chair with your seat belts fastened!
And even a child should be clear about smoking! Look, the plane is covered with plastic, the slightest spark can lead to dire consequences! And e-cigarettes are no exception!

Upon arrival at the destination airport, do not rush, rather run to the exit! Until ground services give the go-ahead for disembarkation of passengers, no one will leave the aircraft cabin! On average, 5-7 minutes after the aircraft stops in the parking lot, the door is opened for passengers to disembark.

My next flight AK NORTH VETER in early August, Moscow-Antalya-Moscow

Upon arrival at the airport, it turned out that the departure was delayed by 45 minutes. What is not critical for me, I am flying on vacation, in a great mood and mood!

When they announced boarding, I met the flight attendants with the words "Hello", to which I received a smile and the phrase "Welcome aboard" in response.
Aircraft Boeing 777-200, BP-BJF

Placed, made himself comfortable, seat 27A, economy class, interior is neat and clean!
It turned out a little later that the back of the entire flight was in an upright position, maybe there was an emergency exit behind me.
A video system monitor is installed in the chair, from the entertainment program only a route map.

A little later we were greeted by the commander and the senior flight attendant. Unfortunately I didn't remember the names. I was pleased with the travel time of 2:30, and I was even glad that the non-reclining backrest on my chair would not cause me any inconvenience.

Takeoff and landing were 5+, the plane is very large and heavy!

On the voyage, we got drunk and fed! This procedure very much while away the flight time, which makes me very happy! The food is not bad enough! Choice of pasta with ham or fish with rice!

The flight was not noticeable!
I counted about 7 flight attendants in the cabin! Everyone is smiling and friendly! But as I understood they will have a return flight to Moscow! I think the fatigue of takeoff and landing still makes itself felt! And on the way back they won't be so fun

On boarding, one of the passengers became ill, lost consciousness, but the flight attendant who was nearby promptly provided medical assistance!

Do not take guys and girls as service personnel! They are not waiters or cleaners! And we are ready to help you in any situation! Therefore, be attentive to their difficult work!

Overall happy with everything! The main thing is my attitude!
Remember to smile and be polite! And all the good will return to you, comrades compatriots!

In preparing the reviews, photographs were used from open sources on the Internet, the official website of the carrier and the tour operator, as well as from personal archives.
Thank you for attention!

The Boeing 777-200 passenger aircraft (Boeing 777-200) is the first modification of the 777 series, a wide-body airliner for long-haul flights.

The Boeing 777-200 made its first flight on June 12, 1994, and then was handed over to United Airlines.

The ER modification has an additional fuel capacity, the installed engine is designed for transatlantic routes.

The peculiarity of the LR modification is one of the longest liners. In addition, this particular aircraft set the world record for the longest non-stop flight of a commercial airliner in 2005.

For international flights, Boeing 777-200 and its modifications continue to be used by Air China, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways and other major carriers, while Emirates maintains Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.

The current operator of the Boeing 777-200 in Russia is Nordwind Airlines.

Aeroflot and Rossiya fleets use a more modern and elongated Boeing 777 - 777-200 model.

Previously, Boeing 777-200ER aircraft were in the fleets of Transaero Airlines (closed in 2015) and Orenburg Airlines (ceased to exist in March 2016).

5 row: D, E, F, G, H, J, K
6 row: A, B, C
12 row: D, E, F, G
Row 14: A, C, H, K
Row 33: D, E, F, G
34 row: A, B, C, H, J, K

Most of these places are located at emergency exits. The next 2-3 rows of seats belong to the preferred seats, although they do not have additional advantages - only the close location to the exits and the beginning of the onboard food distribution.

Bad places

The bad seats on the 777-200 at Nordwind are the seats in the last row of each sector. In addition to the fact that they are mainly located near the toilets and far from the exit, the feature of the backrest is also inconvenient - it does not recline. In addition, it is precisely for the things of the passengers in the last rows that, as a rule, there is not enough space on the top shelf for hand luggage, and you have to put things under the seat in front.
