North wind. The fleet of aircraft of the airline nord wind Comfortable seats in the boeing 777 nord wind

When buying a plane ticket, we often worry about which seats we will get. Of course, if you are able to fly in business class, then this makes it all easier. The rest can only hope for the best. We'll show you all the best seats in the Boeing 777-200.

Boeing 777-200 is designed for long non-stop flights up to 10,000 kilometers. It has an increased fuel reserve and a maximum capacity of about 400 people. This is not a new model. it has been produced since 1995.

• Wingspan- 60.9 meters.
• Length- 63.7 meters.
• Height- 18.3 meters.
• Interior width- 5.86 meters.
• Maximum flight altitude - 13.14 kilometers.

Russian airlines also use these machines. Unfortunately, they are far from new and have flown hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Each air carrier sets up the seats as they see fit. We will look at the cabin layout using examples of two airlines: "Nord Windows" and Emirate s.

"Nord Windows"

This airline expects to accommodate 393 passengers in two classes - economy and business. At the same time, there are only 6 seats in business class. They are located in 1 row. The distance from the seat to the partition is 127 cm, the chairs have comfortable headrests, footrests and in them you can take a reclining position.

The rest of the seats are in economy class. The distance between the backs of the seats in one row is 74 cm, as stated on the airline's website. They are located in the salon in three rows. The central row consists of 4 seats, the side ones - of 3. The majority of passengers find this arrangement inconvenient. A lot of overcrowding, problems with going to the toilet.

The salon has 3 kitchens in the front and one in the tail. There are several toilet rooms, mainly in the central and aft compartments. There are 8 exits in the plane, 4 on each side.

The most comfortable places

There are no good places as such. You can count them the seats facing the emergency exit or next to the partition in the business class. You can sit on them more comfortably and stretch your legs. It will be more convenient for passengers with children. But here, too, not everyone will like the neighborhood with the toilet.

Comfortable for those traveling together will be seats in the rear of the cabin, where the fuselage narrows. There, three chairs turn into two. But the neighborhood with the toilet and the constantly standing line of those wishing to get into it does not add romanticism to the flight.

It is convenient to sit next to the aisle so as not to ask anyone if you suddenly want to stretch your legs. But on the other hand, neighbors will "walk" through you, and you will have to break away from your affairs.

The most inconvenient places

There are many more. The most uncomfortable places are those with their backs to the emergency exits. Their backs do not recline; you will have to fly the entire flight in a 90 degree position. If the flight is long, then it threatens problems with the back and legs. Also, the last chairs standing with their backs to the partitions do not recline.

Passengers flying in other places are in approximately the same position.

Emirates

This airline is considered one of the best in the world. She doesn't skimp on her passengers. However, the prices for the flights it operates are quite high. Emirates uses two seating schemes - 2-class and 3-class.

Salon with 2 classes

This includes Economy and Business Class seats. In the bow there are 42 comfortable business-level chairs. There is a large distance between them, you can recline the back and raise the footrest. This compartment has its own kitchen and its own toilet rooms. The chairs are in three rows. In the outermost there are two chairs, in the central one there are three. All this allows you to fly in much more pleasant conditions than ordinary passengers. However, a ticket to this part of the cabin costs much more.

The remaining 304 seats are occupied by economy class passengers. They also stand in three rows, but in a 3-4-3 pattern. The backs do not recline here, but only come to a position of 45-50 degrees. The distance between the seats allows you to stretch your legs.

The circuit is similar to the salon "Nord Wind" but in Emirates 50 seats less, and this gives another + 20-25 centimeters between the seats. There are several cuisines here, mostly in the back. The toilets are located in the center of the salon.

The most comfortable chairs also located in front of the partitions, there is more legroom and there is the possibility of placing a baby cot. But some, on the contrary, like to have a chair in front of them. Indeed, at the time of decline, it is convenient to hold on to it.

Inconvenient places near the toilets, with their backs to the partitions. Emirates has a small headroom for reclining, but not as much as the rest. Also, this airline does not have seats with their backs facing the emergency aisles. It is forbidden to tilt them for safety reasons.

Salon with 3 classes

Such an aircraft contains the seats of the first, business and economy classes.

In the bow there are 12 elite first class seats. They cannot be called armchairs, they are mini-rooms with a bed. More like the SV-compartment of the train.

The central and rear sections of the cabin are occupied by 176 economy class seats. They are arranged in three rows. In the center there are 4 armchairs, at the windows - 3 each. In the middle and at the end of this compartment there are toilets, the kitchen is in the rear. We will not repeat ourselves about comfortable and inconvenient places, they coincide with the conditions of the previous scheme.

It is now very easy to choose comfortable seats in the cabin - use the online check-in for your flight.

Pleasant flight!

The Boeing 777-200ER is a long-range wide-body aircraft, a modification of the Boeing 777-200 with increased take-off weight, with additional fuel tanks and an increased flight range of up to 14,316 kilometers. This is the optimal aircraft for servicing long-distance intercontinental routes. It is capable of taking on board from 314 to 440 passengers.

Boeing 777-200ER is characterized by high manufacturability and efficiency, low noise level, as well as excellent flight speed indicators, equipped with such innovative equipment as Electronic Flight Bag.

In the process of creating the liner, special attention was paid to the wishes of passengers. So in the Boeing 777, a number of solutions have been introduced to improve the comfort of passengers. In particular, the salon is equipped with a video system with screens mounted in the backs of the seats, and the seats in the business class salon have reclining ergonomic backs. Luggage racks are also enlarged and indirect lighting is applied. The width of the cabin is 5.87 meters - this allows you to fit up to 10 seats in a row. The size of the windows is 380 × 250 mm. Boeing 777-200ER.

The Boeing 777-200ER made its first flight in October 1996, and its commercial operation began in February 1997 with British Airways.

Boeing 777-200ER is operated by: Rossiya Airlines, North Wind, Orenburg Airlines, Air China, Air France, Air India, Alitalia, British Airways, KLM, etc. More than 50 airlines in total.

The Boeing 777-200ER is the world's best-selling twin-engine jet airliner. Airbus's rival model is the Airbus A330-300.

The location and numbering of seats in the cabin, the scheme of seats in the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. Better and less comfortable seats on the plane

The layout of the cabin, the best and less comfortable seats on the Boeing 777-200ER of Vietnam Airlines

Vietnam Airlines has 10 Boeing 777-200ER aircraft in two-class and three-class configurations, which operate transatlantic flights to Europe, Australia, Sesero-East Asia and domestic flights. You can fly from Moscow on these planes: to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Nha Trang.

Below is a layout of the cabin with 25 business class seats, 54 comfort class seats and 228 economy class seats.

• Business class seats occupy from 1 to 4 rows... They are quite comfortable: wide seats, increased distance between them. The toilets are located in front of the first row, and the galley behind the last row. During night flights, going to the toilet, sounds and lights from the kitchen can cause some inconvenience.

Comfort class takes from 10 to 15 rows. 10 row seats are located behind the utility room, extraneous noise is possible.

Economy class divided into two salons: the first - from 20 to 32 rows, the second - from 45 to 58.
20 row- sufficiently comfortable seats, if the wall in front separating the service classes and the fixed armrests of the outer seats do not bother. There is a lot of legroom in this row.
In places 24 and 25 rows there is no porthole and during a long flight it can be a little depressing, although at night it does not matter at all.
All seats in rows 31, 32, 57 and 58 (excluding center seat E in rows 31 and 57) can be inconvenient due to the proximity to toilets - this is the constant movement of passengers, the sounds of a barrel being lowered and the hassle of doors. Also, the backs of the chairs do not recline (except for seats F and D in rows 31 and 57)... On a long flight, this is extremely inconvenient.
45 row comfortable and best economy class seats. Since there is an emergency exit in front of this, the approaches to them are wide, so there is a lot of legroom. Even a tall person can freely stretch them here. It is also convenient to fly on them with children. There are toilets nearby.

General for the rest of the places:

• Advantages of the seats located next to the porthole: in the daytime you can admire the beauty of the sky, the passengers sitting next to you will not bother you if they need to get up. Minus: it is inconvenient to go out during the flight.
• Seats near the aisle. pros: it is very easy to get up from them, no one bothers. Minus: Passengers and flight attendants with trolleys passing by may accidentally hit you.

Aeroflot's Boeing 777-200ER aircraft have a three-class layout: business class, luxury class and economy class.

• In the business class cabin two rows of seats with a 2: 3: 2 layout. All seats are comfortable enough, so the flight will be comfortable.
• Superior class from 3 to 6 rows... All places have an improved layout and are quite comfortable. When traveling in pairs, it is better to choose seats in row 6 A, C or J, L, so they are two in a row and the neighbors will not interfere. Although the seats of the 6th row have drawbacks - the backs of the chairs are not adjustable, so there is a partition behind the partition that separates the utility room.
• Economy class divided into two salons: the first - from 10 to 29 rows, the second - from 30 to 43.
  10th and 30th row seats located in front of the toilets, so people can walk. But these rows have their advantages: emergency exits are located in front, there is enough room to stretch out your legs.
  Seat backs 29 and 43 row a are limited in folding, or the chairs do not recline at all, since the partitions of the technical blocks are located close.
  Seating 40 and 41 rows(A, C, J and L) are double, not triple. For this reason, they can be called a good option for young couples. As for similar armchairs in the last two sections, a drawback can be noted here - the close location to the bathroom. In addition, the seats in the last row cannot be folded out - they are located very close to the wall.

The KLM Boeing 777-200ER has a maximum capacity of 318 passengers.

• In World Business Class 5 rows with a 2: 2: 2 layout. The average distance between the seats is 160 cm. Wide armchairs that fold out into a bed are very comfortable during a long flight. Armchairs 5 rows may be uncomfortable on night flights if you are going to take a break due to the lights on and the additional noise from the back room.
• Business Class- this is its own separate state, it consists of six armchairs located in one row, armchairs are also folded into a bed and in this row there is a large amount of space between them. Behind the partition that delimits the classes of service, in front of the utility room.
• Economy comfort zone consists of four rows ( 10, 11, 12, 14 ) with a 3: 4: 3 seat layout. The distance between the seats is 89 centimeters, and there are also quite comfortable seats.
• Economy class has slightly less distance between the seats - only 79 cm. In general, all the seats are comfortable. Nuances can be noted at the seats located near the aisles: when other passengers pass, they may hurt you, and seats G, F, E, D 25 rows, 26 and 44 rows located in front of the toilets, which adds to the inconvenience. Seat backs B, A, K, J 44 rows do not recline, but the plus is that they are arranged in two. 31 row has a lot of legroom.

Flight performance

• Maximum speed: 965 km / h
• Cruising speed: 905 km / h
• Flight range: 8910 km
• Liner capacity: economy class - 440 passengers, economy / business - 400 passengers, economy / business / first class - 301 passengers

When planning to fly to the islands for leisure or business in the far abroad, an inexperienced traveler has a question: how to fly safely and comfortably, how to choose the best seats. Intercontinental transportation of passengers is carried out by a comfortable Boeing 777 air liner (made in the USA) with a three-row arrangement of boarding seats. The aircraft can accommodate between 300 and 550 people. The Boeing 777 200 cabin layout will help you choose a convenient seat of the appropriate class so that the flight will deliver maximum comfort.

The flight range of the airliner is 17,000 kilometers. Boeing 200 and 300 modifications have been operated by world airlines since 1994, during which time it has acquired a reputation as the safest aircraft.

The largest air carriers in Russia are the following companies:

• Transaero;
• Aeroflot;
• Nord Wind
• Orenair (Orenburg Airlines);
• S7 (Siberia);
• Ural Airlines and others.

The layout of the cabin aircraft Boeing-777 Transaero airlines

On the example of Transaero aircraft, the layout of the seats in the Boeing cabin is shown in the photo. To improve conditions, the carrier has modernized the cabin, so the capacity of the liner is 323 people. Increased row spacing, added seating. The seating arrangement on various Transaero vessels is different: 2-5-2 or 3-3-3 for economy, tourist, 2-3-2 for business class (groups of two and three seats are staggered).

On Transaero flights, travelers will be provided with:

• warm blankets, pillows;
• varied food, drinks;
• alcohol;
• travel kits.

The layout of the cabin Boeing-777 Nord Wind airlines

On the aircraft of the Nord Wind airline, there are two sectors with different levels of convenience: business, economy. The Nord Wind company allocates only the first row for a high class of comfort (for 6-7 people). There are 10 seats in one line of the economy class - the order is 3-4-3 (see photo). The interiors of Nord Wind aircraft are cramped compared to other carriers (see photo). But in one flight, the liner carries more passengers - the capacity is 393 people.

Aeroflot Airlines uses an improved modification. The space of the Boeing 777 300 aircraft (see photo) is divided into 4 sectors:

• business - rows 1-5 with placement of 2-2-2, located at an angle of 45 degrees;
• comfort - the order of arrangement is 2-4-2, 11-16 row;
• space plus - rows 24-37, arrangement 3-4-3;
• economy - rows 38-51 (up to 46 rubles - order 3-4-3, from 47 rubles grouping is used
• 2-4-2).

The layout of the aircraft Boeing-777 Aeroflot

• business-level menu;
• individual lamps;
• folding table;
• step;
• video monitor.

Orenburg Airlines offers the following classes:

• Business - 14 places;
• Premium - 34 seats;
• Economy - 316 seats.

How to comfortably sit in the cabin

The best seats are undoubtedly at the front of the ship, where business and first (comfort) class are located. Some aircraft have an additional imperial tier for elite passengers (Transaero). The business level has places of increased comfort. But there are also nuances here. The proximity of toilets, the occasional queue to them, can cause discomfort to passengers sitting nearby. This applies to companies that allocate more than 20 seats for the business level (Aeroflot). In this sector, the seats are located at a considerable distance from each other (125-150 cm), which allows passengers to relax during a long flight and stretch their legs.

In the middle of the liner there are seats for economy class passengers. Here the distance between the seats is less, so a tall person will be uncomfortable.

The proximity to the kitchen, toilets of the first and last rows can cause discomfort. You should not choose chairs near the aisle, there is a possibility that those passing by will touch them with a hand or step on their feet.

In the passenger seats in the tail of the aircraft, the sound of the engines running can be heard. The distance between the seats is only 20-25 cm. In addition, the rear turbulence is felt more firmly.

The best seats on a Boeing 777, regardless of level, are in the middle. You should also choose a liner with no more than 3 seats in a row in one line. For example, landing option 3-3-3. When the seats are 2-5-2 places, it is better to choose those that are near the ship's hull.

Sectoral seating, like the rest of the systems, is designed using computer simulations, but carriers have the right to modernize the seating arrangement, remove or add seats. It directly depends on the airlines how comfortable the flight will be for the passenger.

Nordwind Airlines was founded in 2008. The owner is the tour operator Pegas Fly. The base is Sheremetyevo Airport (Moscow). It operates both charter and regular flights within Russia and other countries. In 2017, 3,548,210 passengers were transported - this is the ninth place in Russia. The increase in comparison with the previous year amounted to 98.4%. The average age of the fleet is 9.5 years.

Not all seats in the aircraft are equally comfortable and each passenger has their own preferences when choosing. Therefore, when getting ready for a journey, it is important to inquire in advance about how the seats of the nord wind airlines are arranged, which ones will be more comfortable, and which ones should be avoided if possible.

Airline nord wind has the right to put on board a different model than previously announced. In this case, the numbering of places is also "lost".

Models and number of aircraft Nordwind airlines

Nord Wind has a fleet of 21 aircraft. Another 8 have been ordered. * 4 planes are registered with Nordwind Airlines, however, they fly in the livery of the parent company Pegas Fly.

• Airbus A321-200;
• Airbus A330-200;
• Boeing 737-800;
• Boeing 737-900ER;
• Boeing 767-300ER;
• Boeing 777-200ER;
• Boeing 777-300ER.

Airbus A321-200

There are 8 of these in the North Wind now. It has a layout for 220 economy class seats. Business and the first are absent. The declared legroom is 74 cm. Individual multimedia devices are not provided.

• row 1... No one will be able to recline the back of the chair on the passenger sitting there - since it simply does not exist, a blank partition is installed instead. Therefore, there is where to put your knees, but you will not be able to stretch your legs. Can be noisy due to nearby galley and toilet. Smells and constant banging of the door will not add comfort. But exactly those. those who fly in the front row get food earlier than others - and, accordingly, have more choice (some food and drinks do not reach the tail of the plane, since they are loaded on board in limited quantities.
• seats F in rows 9 and 23... The backs do not recline in them. This is due to the location of the partitions immediately behind them. It will be inconvenient to sit in this position for the entire flight, therefore these seats have a relatively low level of comfort.
• rows 10 and 24(fully). The backrests in them are also locked in one position due to the need to provide sufficient clearance for emergency exits. The consolation for passengers in seats D and E may be that there are two seats instead of three. If people are flying together, then it is very convenient - they cannot be disturbed by the third one sitting next to them.
• rows 11 and 25 are the most comfortable. There are emergency exits near them, and therefore there is much more legroom for the legs than in other places. You can comfortably sit back and take a position close to lying down, while not interfering with anyone. The table is not located on the back of the seat in front of the chair, but slides out of the armrest. But there are also disadvantages. Firstly, carry-on luggage can only be placed on an overhead shelf, but never on the floor, due to the need for quick evacuation in case of an emergency. In addition, elderly people, passengers with disabilities, mentally ill, very overweight, intoxicated persons, as well as pregnant women and those who travel with children cannot sit at emergency exits as they may have to push the door out - and this item weighs 35 kg, and help others to leave the salon.
• row 36, seats C and D(at the aisles). This is the penultimate row, so queues for the toilet will inevitably accumulate here. People can inadvertently hit or push those sitting next to them.
• row 37... Last. There is a partition behind it, so the backrests do not recline. There is also a toilet - smells and sounds are felt throughout the entire flight. And constant movement is also guaranteed. Therefore, the seats in this row are the least comfortable, they should be avoided by all means.

Other chairs have approximately the same level of comfort, so you should be guided by personal preferences - for example, someone likes to look through the window, while another person needs to be able to quickly get up (for example, to the restroom) and not disturb others.

Airbus A330-200

First, the north wind received one such aircraft (in July 2017). A little more than a year later, a second similar board was taken. Year of release - 2011. There are 279 seats - 24 in business class and 255 in economy class. The kitchen is located at the end of the salon, near the toilet and other service areas.

Airbus a330-200 economy class

• Business Class. The chairs are installed according to the 2 + 2 + 2 scheme. In front of each is a display, the control of which is displayed on a wide armrest (including a hidden table in it). There is a lot of legroom. In addition, there are ample opportunities for transformation - you can expand the seat almost horizontally.
• Economy class. Armchairs from France. Upholstery - fabric. They are located according to the 2 + 4 + 2 scheme. Each has a personal entertainment system with a small display and control buttons. There is a retractable footrest. The table can be folded out both just for drinks and completely.

Boeing 737-800

The airline nord wind has seven Boeing 737 800 wings (the most modern at the moment). All of them have previously flown with other companies abroad. The average age is 7.1 years. * The Boeing 737 800 Wingle nordwind has a single-class cabin layout, for 189 economy seats, the step between which is about 75 cm. Business class is not provided.

• 1 row... The legs will rest against the partition, but there are no people sitting in front, so no one can lean back on the passenger. On the other hand, not everyone likes to look at the wall during the flight. The tables are in the armrests. Close to toilet and kitchen.
• 2 row, seats D, E, F. There is slightly more legroom than those in front;
• 11 row, place A and 12 row... There are no portholes, For those who like to observe landscapes, these chairs will not work;
• row 15... There are emergency exits here, so there is a lot of legroom. But it is forbidden to put hand luggage on the floor (only on the shelf), tables are issued separately and, in addition, certain categories of passengers are prohibited from sitting there. The backrests do not recline - there is a second emergency exit behind;
• row 16 similar, however, there you can recline the back;
• row 32- the most undesirable for any passenger. The backs in it are blocked due to the wall behind the back. In the same place, in the tail, there are two toilets, so the sounds of slamming doors and a flush tank will interfere throughout the flight. In the aisle, a queue of people wishing to visit the restroom inevitably accumulates.

Boeing 767-300ER

Nordwind has 4 of these middle-aged aircraft (the average age is almost 20 years). The total capacity is 304 passengers.

767-300 economy class

• rows 1 and 2- Business Class. For feet 127 cm of space;
• row 3 rests against the partition, but there is a little more space than for the rest of the economy passengers;
• row 16... There are toilets nearby, but there are only 2 pairs of chairs;
• row 17 not worth choosing. The backs rest against the toilet, it is impossible to fold them back. Smells and sounds from the restroom are not the best accompaniment to the flight;
• row 18... In front there is an emergency exit (plenty of legroom), but also toilets;
• row 19 close in characteristics to the 18th;
• row 39 worst. There are toilets in the back.

Boeing 777-200ER

Nord Wind now has five such aircraft. The average age is 15.2 years. The layout is two-class.

• 1 row- business class (6 seats, 2 in a row);
• Economy class built according to the 3-4-3 scheme, it is cramped inside;
• in places 21H and 21K lots of legroom, but close to restrooms. The same applies to row 45;
• rows 39, 57 and 58 the worst. Toilets behind them;
• v rows 54-56 extreme places (A, C and K, H) are set by two;

Boeing 777-300ER

North Wind has two such aircraft in its fleet, with an average age of 12.9 years. The layout is three-class - 9 business-class rows (1 + 2 + 1), 8 comfort-class rows (2 + 4 + 2) and 24 economy-class rows (3 + 3 + 3). In total - 312 places.

Boeing 777-300 er economy class

In the comfort class, the best seats are in row 20 - there is slightly more legroom. in front of rows 46 and 50 in economy class there is an emergency exit, but also toilets. Rows 60, 70 and 71 are the least preferred (toilets, aft), but the AC and KH seats are installed in two instead of three.

check-in

Unlike low-cost airlines, Nordwind Airlines does not force passengers to check-in at the site under the threat of hefty fines. You can also go through this procedure at the airport. Check-in starts at least 3 hours and ends 40 minutes before scheduled departure.

Online check-in

This opportunity was opened in October 2017. The conditions are as follows:

• time before departure - maximum 24 hours, minimum 1 hour;
• flights from the CIS, Russia, Antalya;
• the passenger does not transport animals, weapons and cargo on the seat;
• additional services are not required (accompanying a child flying without adults or a person with disabilities, etc.);
• there are no prohibited items in checked baggage and carry-on baggage.

For charter flights and fares of the Promo group (economy, business, Comfort), you can register online only at the same time as choosing a seat:

1. Enter the passenger's surname, departure date, ticket number and flight number in the appropriate fields;
2. Order additional services (if required);
3. Receive your boarding pass electronically.

Only the paper version is suitable for planting. It is impossible to present it on the display of a mobile device. Therefore, you need to print the coupon in advance on any printer, or apply for this at the registration desk, where the required document will be issued free of charge.

Seat selection

Since November 2017, on all Nordwind Airlines flights, you can independently choose which place to travel to, only for a fee - moreover, regardless of how the passenger checks in online or at the airport. The price depends on the class (economy or business), direction (domestic or international) and distance. You will have to pay a minimum of 300 rubles (economy class, a flight within the European or Asian part of Russia is a usual place, that is, not the first row, not an emergency exit seat and not rows 2-4 in economy) up to 120 US dollars or 75 euros (business -class, long-haul flight, premium seat). *

Even if the passenger has paid for a specific seat, the crew commander has the right to transfer him to any other seat due to safety requirements. In this case, the seat selection service is considered to be provided and no compensation is paid to the passenger.

Nordwind airlines have modern and reliable aircraft. They are issued by Boeing and Airbus, recognized market leaders. All aircraft are well serviced and provide comfortable travel at high speed.

And although the North Wind is not a low-cost airline, you will have to pay for the right to sit in a specific seat, as is customary for budget companies, and even if the passenger has already paid tens of thousands of rubles for a business class flight.

* Information is current as of May 2018.
