The company's fleet includes 20 Boeing 777-300 aircraft. 9 of them are the latest extended-range modifications and are marked ER (Extended Range). As a rule, all Boeing ERs have a three-class cabin layout.
We will look at the old base model 777-300, which is most often used by Thai Airlines for flights to Russia.
The cabin features a two-class configuration that accommodates 34 seats in business class and 330 in economy class.
Business Class
Business class has 5 rows and starts from 11 to 16 rows. The chairs recline comfortably, their width is 51 cm, the distance between the rows is 155 cm.
In addition, you will find a varied menu and high-quality service. But there are still some disadvantages.
11 row located immediately behind the partition, so there are mounts for baby bassinets, and often these are the places where passengers with children are located.
In addition, the view is completely limited by the partition, especially in the middle row. Staring at the wall the entire flight, for example, from Moscow to Bangkok, is very tiring.
Seats in row 16 have their own characteristics. Firstly, near the outer seat on the left side 16A there is no porthole. Secondly, the seats are located immediately in front of two sections of the galley. It is very noisy here both at night and during the day.
Economy class
Economy class is separated from business class by an emergency exit block and two galley sections.
Seats 31 and 32 rows those marked in yellow or red are not very comfortable. Those seats that adjoin directly to the galley partitions are equipped with mounts for baby bassinets, so if there are small children on board, it is most likely that they will be placed in these seats.
Armchairs located close to the kitchen/toilet wall. It is always a bustle - people scurrying around, queues, sounds and smells.
It is also important that the folding tables in these places are built into one of the armrests, because of this the armrest is fixed.
In front of the place 32C there is no chair, which gives you extra space for your knees and legs. On a long flight this is very useful.
Places in 43 and 44 rows are the worst places (marked in red): the backs of the seats rest against the wall of the toilet, which is why reclining may be limited. Spending the entire flight in a vertical position is very inconvenient.
In addition, the proximity to toilets can cause some discomfort (fuss, queues, sounds of a flushing tank).
46 row- this is an almost complete copy of rows 31-32. The only difference is that there is no on-board kitchen, only numerous restrooms and an emergency exit block.
47 row A and K- the seats are located in front of emergency exits. You'll have extra legroom, but with the door protruding slightly into the cabin, you won't be able to fully extend your legs. The proximity to the toilets can be a slight inconvenience: passengers constantly walk past, creating queues.
Seats in row 47 B, C and H, J They have extra legroom and the seat backs recline. It would seem that all the conditions for a comfortable flight?
The only downside is the proximity to the restrooms. Since economy class accommodates more than 300 people, there are queues day and night. And also smells, sounds and other unpleasant moments.
Seats in rows 56 and 70 C and H noticeably stick out into the passage. Passengers in these seats may be hit by other passengers or flight attendants with trolleys.
58 row located near the galley. This neighborhood may cause inconvenience.
57 and 59 row— there are seats that may have restrictions on reclining the back of the chair. They are marked in yellow on the diagram.
IN 60 row There are only 4 seats - two on each side of the board. Benefit from additional seat legroom B and J, and disadvantages in the form of limited space on the side of the hatch on the ground A and K. In addition, close proximity to the kitchen may interfere with rest.
IN 61 row the distance between the seats is several centimeters less than in other rows of the plane. Tall people need to take this into account.
Seats in row 62 D, E, F completely repeat the location of the 32nd row: cradles, wall and proximity to the kitchen.
And here seats 62 C and H considered comfortable. There is no chair in front of them, there is good review and there are no toilets nearby.
72 row- the most inconvenient. The seat backs either have limited reclining or are completely fixed. Behind the wall there are restrooms and technical rooms, so here, in addition to smells and sounds, queues of visitors are quite expected.
Photos of the interior of the Boeing 777-300 "Thai Airways"
Economy class photos
Boeing 777 is a production model of American passenger airliners, a wide-body aircraft for long-distance flights. It was developed in the early 90s, first flew in 1994, and began operation in 1995.
The capacity of the Boeing 777 is 305–550 people and depends on the cabin arrangement. The characteristics of the engines allow it to cover distances of 9–17.6 thousand km. The Boeing 777 300 ER set a record flight range in passenger aviation - 21,601 km.
Boeing's 777 is the largest turbofan passenger aircraft among airliners with two engines. The aircraft is equipped with engines from General Electric, model GE 90, these are the most powerful and largest gas turbine engines in aviation history. An important feature of the vessel is the landing gear of 6 wheels. The pilot's cockpit is equipped with LCD screens.
Interesting! The development was carried out not only by Boeing specialists, but also by representatives of other airlines and passengers. This is the first airliner that was 100% designed on a computer; during development, no drawings were ever created on paper, thereby reducing the possibility of errors or errors to a minimum.
The largest fleet (102 units) is owned by Emirates airline. Another 89 are on order and in production.
Russian air carriers such as Nord Wind (North Wind) and Aeroflot have 21 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft in their fleet.
The airliner's interior was created using curved lines, called Boeing Signature Interior. The luggage racks have been enlarged and the lighting has been indirect for a more comfortable stay on board and a restful sleep. Interior layout allows airlines to easily move seats, lavatories, galleys and create the desired cabin configuration. The vessel is equipped with the largest portholes in the commercial class, their size is 380 by 250 mm.
Boeing 777-300: cabin layout and best seats
For most airlines, the Boeing 777 300EP cabin is divided into 3 classes: business, comfort and economy. Many low-cost airlines operating aircraft that accommodate about 500 people prefer a layout with just one class - economy. Turkish and Thai Airlines, Air France, Etihad, Russian Nord Wind and Aeroflot use a 3-class version. The Rossiya company uses a modification with 2 classes - business and economy.
The front part of the cabin accommodates business class for 30 seats. Next is the comfort class, which has 48 seats in a 2–4–2 configuration. Next is the economy class with a capacity of 330 passengers with a 3-4-3 seat configuration.
The most comfortable seats on ships with 3 classes:
- Rows 1–5. Business class is located here in a 2-2-2 configuration. These are the most comfortable seats with soft, wide seats and plenty of legroom.
- Rows 11–16. This is a comfortable class with less legroom than in business. Layout plan - 2–4–2. The 11th row is the most inconvenient because it is located not far from the toilet and right in front of the partition, which reduces the amount of free space.
- Row 17 is the most comfortable in economy. Economy class starts with it, so the row is located in front of the partition, which allows you to stretch your legs and eliminates the need for the passenger in front to recline the seat. There are only 2 seats near the windows, which also adds comfort and allows you to disturb your neighbors less if you need to get out.
- Row 18, seats C and H. There are no front-seat passengers, which increases legroom. The seats are located in the middle of the fuselage, which reduces the effects of turbulence.
- Row 24. Located behind emergency exits, there are no front-seat passengers. The downside is the proximity to the toilet.
- Row 38. The layout is similar to row 24 - the kitchen and emergency exits are located nearby. A large number of free space.
- Rows 47–49. There are 2 seats at the portholes, which is convenient for traveling together.
Good seats on 3-class ships:
- Row 12, seats H, G, D, C. These seats are located in the aisle. Flight attendants serving food may bump into carts, and passengers going to the toilet will create discomfort due to the narrowness of the aisles.
- Row 20. Some carriers may not have windows.
- Rows 23, 36, 50. Behind these seats are exits and toilets. The seatbacks may not be able to recline.
The least comfortable seats on 3-class airliners.
- Rows 37, 51. Seats in these rows are located near the kitchen and restrooms; the backrests may not recline fully. Places G, D are located in the aisle and in direct proximity to the conductors with carts and passing people.
Important! Before choosing an airline for travel, you need to check the seat layout on the official website.
Aeroflot airline cabin configuration
Aeroflot uses a cabin configuration with 3 classes:
- Business class, 30 seats. Occupies the front part of the aircraft cabin. The seats are comfortable, recline fully, there is ample legroom, and multimedia entertainment systems are installed. You can choose any place.
- Comfort class, 48 seats. Only “three sevens” have this class of service in Aeroflot airline. Each seat has its own lamps, multimedia systems, and footrests. There is a lot of free space, you can order food from business class. The least comfortable seats are the 11th row, which are located in front of the partition, as well as the 12th, 15th and 16th rows, since the windows there are shifted.
- Economy class, 324 seats. In this configuration, the economy class is divided into three sections.
Economy class features:
- Seats in the 17th row have paired window seats, convenient for two passengers flying together.
- Row 20 has no windows.
- Rows 17, 24, 39 are located in front of the partition and have more free space. Row 24 is located near the kitchen and restrooms, which causes discomfort.
- In the area of rows 47-51, the salon narrows, the seats by the windows are arranged in pairs, there is no need to disturb the neighbors to get out.
The general configuration of the Aeroflot airline cabin corresponds to the general layout discussed above, so the recommendations for choosing seats are the same.
Airline cabin configurationEmirates
Emirates Airlines is the largest operator of Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. This Boeing 777 model, thanks to the 800 Trent engine, has an increased flight range and efficiency. There are four types of cabin layouts in the carrier's fleet.
Note! When planning a trip with Emirates airlines, when purchasing tickets, it is necessary to clarify the cabin layout used on the flight.
Most often, the airline uses a three-class layout for 365 passengers. First class has 12 seats, followed by business class with 42 passenger seats and economy class with 310 seats.
Each passenger seat has built-in USB 2.0 ports and 110V power outlets. All seats are equipped with an entertainment system with a monitor loaded with archives of music and films in different languages, including Russian.
The variety of drinks and food on board is impressive; first class passengers have the largest selection.
Rows 1–2 - first class, located in the forward part of the fuselage. The chairs are very comfortable and easily convert into a full bed. Service of the highest class, with a wide variety of menus.
Business class is located in rows 6–11. There are comfortable chairs and a lot of free space so as not to disturb neighboring passengers. The seats fold out into a bed, comfortable enough for long journeys. The least successful places are rows 7–8, since they are located next to the kitchen and toilets. Passengers in the 7th row do not have windows.
Economy class is located in rows 16–50 of the cabin. The seats are quite wide and provide good legroom.
Economy class seats:
- Row 16 is spacious, located immediately behind the business class partition. It can be quite noisy as there are racks for baby strollers.
- Behind row 21 there is a partition, so the seats here may not recline.
- Passengers in row 23 do not have windows.
- Rows 35–36 are located near the kitchen, which can cause discomfort.
- Row 37 has plenty of legroom as it is located near the emergency exits.
- Row 50 is located in front of the partition; the backs of the seats may not recline.
The Boeing 777-300 airliner is one of the most common modifications in the world, so it is necessary to choose the best seats correctly. You need to familiarize yourself with the cabin layout on the website of the airline you have chosen for your trip, since they differ in the number of classes and the location of seats. To admire the scenery or do beautiful photos, it is necessary to choose seats near the windows, but the neighbors limit easy access to the exit. The center row is suitable for family travel, but also has its drawbacks.
The Boeing 777 200 aircraft is a new generation airliner that allows you to make long flights in comfort. After reading the article, you will learn what a salon looks like from the inside and how to choose best places when purchasing a ticket.
The 777 200 airliner is part of the fleet of the Northern Wind company, founded in 2008. Nordwind organizes charter flights and is licensed for private and cargo flights.
The company's fleet consists of 21 aircraft, of which 3 are Boeing 777-200ER (ER - literally Extended Range, which means increased flight range). The model entered active service in 1995, and the first flight was made in 1994.
In the Nordwind fleet, Boeings have tail numbers: VP-BJF, VP-BJB, VQ-BUD.
- VP-BJF. The youngest of the partners. Until he was 13, he flew for a Chinese airline, after which he took over NordWind;
- VP-BJB. He began his flight experience in '98 also in the Chinese airlines fleet, where he remained until 2013, then he was acquired by the current company;
- VQ-BUD. Created in 1998, it was owned by several air carriers, including Aeroflot. North Wind bought Boeing in 2014.
Advantages of the 777-200 aircraft
North Wind strives to optimize the composition of the park, making it possible to improve quality and create comfortable conditions.
The Boeing 777 200 is a wide-body passenger aircraft. The aircraft layout includes 393 passenger seats, which are divided into 2 classes: economy and business. It is capable of serving flights up to 18 hours non-stop.
Interesting fact: in 2003, Boeing set an emergency record for flying on one engine for almost 3 hours with passengers on board.
Features and capabilities of the court:
The fly-by-wire control system allows you to automatically avoid potentially dangerous maneuvers during flight and ensures that the pilots’ actions do not exceed acceptable limits. If necessary, the pilot can disable the system.
The Boeing 777 200er has the largest tires and landing gear of any commercial jet.
The interior is made in curved lines. There are shelves for oversized luggage. Before the creation of the 787 airliner, Boeing was considered the aircraft with the largest window sizes. There are designated crew rest areas located in the forward compartment of the aircraft. These include:
- 2-3 sleeping places;
- Two armchairs;
- Washbasin;
- TV.
Passenger cabin configuration of 777-200 Nordwind
There are 3 kitchen spaces and utility rooms, which are located at the beginning, middle and end. Restrooms are also allocated at the beginning and end of the plane. The seats in the stalls are made with a hydraulic hinge, which allows you to gently lower the toilet lid. There are two bathrooms, which are often located in front and behind next to the toilet rooms.
The layout allows employees to change the configuration of galleys, lavatories and seating depending on the needs of a particular flight.
Salons are distinguished by type of layout:
- Economy class for 440 seats;
- Economy and business class 396 seats;
- Economy, first, business 306 seats.
Let's consider a basic modification of the board with two classes.
Business Class
Occupies the front part of the aircraft. No more than 10 places are allocated for this category. Offers passengers a configuration of 4 seats in a row. They are arranged according to the number of seats 2-2-2, sometimes 2-3-2. For business class, Nord Wind claims a distance of 127 cm from the seat to the partition.
Peculiarities:
- the seats are one and a half times wider than the economy category and can be transformed into a sleeping place;
- reclining backrests extend more than in economy;
- comfortable armrests;
- restaurant menu;
- there are retractable footrests.
Economy class
Starts from the 5th row. The distance between the seat backs is 74 cm. There are no footrests, but the chairs are quite comfortable, with armrests. They are made of ergonomic materials. The backrests recline slightly due to lack of space. There is a folding table, seat belts, earplugs and a storage pocket.
Economy class occupies 90% of the passenger compartment. The seating arrangement is as follows: 3 on the left, 4 in the center, 3 on the right. Most clients find this arrangement uncomfortable due to the narrow passages, constantly cruising passengers to the toilet.
During the flight you can watch movies and drink cocktails. The electronic panel allows you to track the location of the aircraft en route.
Choosing the best place
The first rows of economy class (5-6) have the undeniable advantage that there are no passengers who could recline the seat back on you. These seats in Boeing are considered good for flights and the most comfortable.
Information for mothers: in these places you can place a cradle with your baby in front of you.
The disadvantages of the row are the wall in front of the face, behind which the business class is located.
This is a quiet space, as toilets, bathrooms and kitchens are located further down the cabin. Another disadvantage is that you cannot fully extend your legs in front of you due to the partition.
Row 20 is similar to rows 5 and 6, but instead of business class there is a toilet partition in front, which means regular disturbance for passengers. This also includes seats from row 21 and seats G, F, D, E.
The advantage of row 45 is the ability to stretch your legs and straighten your knees due to the location of the emergency hatches.
For traveling couples, seats in the last row of the plane may become comfortable due to the narrowing of the fuselage. Instead of 3 seats, there are 2. The disadvantage is the possibility of hitting a passenger with a trolley carried by a flight attendant, as well as a line of people standing in the restroom.
Bad places: how not to make a mistake
Rows 38 and 39 are among the most uncomfortable. The chairs do not recline; in some cases there are restrictions on the level of inclination. Another minus is the proximity of the restroom.
53C and 54H are considered uncomfortable places due to the fact that passing passengers can easily hit you with their elbows. In addition, flight attendants with trolleys cause inconvenience during the flight.
Row 57,58: located at the rear of the cabin. The proximity of onboard kitchens, utility rooms and other technical spaces is inconvenient. They have restrictions in reclining the backrests or are completely blocked.
Experienced travelers do not recommend choosing rows 13,14,12. Due to restrictions on backrest deflection and the presence of a kitchen in the immediate vicinity.
From approximately rows 20 to 39, portholes may be missing in some places. This is a big minus for some travelers. For accurate information about the availability of a window, it is better to consult a company representative before purchasing a ticket.
Before making a purchase, pay attention to the following nuances:
- Study the interior layout and then make a purchasing decision;
- Do not take seats in the back of the plane, except for rows 40-41, which are suitable for those traveling in pairs;
- Avoid places near toilets due to unnecessary noise and queues;
- Buy tickets in advance to be able to choose the best seat. An additional bonus will be a lower price.
Of these, 8 have the ER nomenclature, which stands for Extended Range. These planes are newer, they have both business and first class.
But consider the Boeing 777-300. This aircraft is made according to an older model, but it is the one that is often used on the Bangkok-Moscow route and others connecting Thailand and Russia.
This aircraft configuration provides 330 economy seats and 34 business seats.
A couple of general points about the seat arrangement in the Boeing 777-300 - their disadvantages and advantages.
1. The seats that are located next to the window have the advantage that you can look out of it during the flight (this, of course, depends on the flight time and weather). If you fly at night, this advantage does not count. Also, your 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 you don’t need to go to the toilet often or you intend to sleep through the entire flight, choose seats by the window.
2. The seats located near the aisle have their own advantage - it is very easy to get up from if you need to go to the toilet. The disadvantages are that a neighbor may be disturbed if he needs to get up. Flight attendants with trolleys and passengers who walk through the cabin to the galley and toilets can also interfere.
11-16 r. - Business Class. The seat width is 51 centimeters, and the step width between the rows is 155 centimeters. The seats can be reclined in a comfortable way, and you can expect improved service and an excellent menu. But there are slightly worse places here too. In the 11th row there are mounts for baby bassinets, so business class passengers with babies are seated here. Also, this row is located in front of the partition. A certain category of passengers will find it inconvenient to stare at the wall for the entire multi-hour flight.
16 rub. located close to the galley. This will cause some discomfort, especially if you want to rest and during night flights. There is also no porthole near seat 16A.
Economy class
31, 32 r. - chairs that are marked in red or yellow are not very comfortable. On the one hand, these are seats with fastenings for baby bassinets, and being with crying children for the entire flight is very annoying. On the other hand, they are located close to the kitchen/toilet wall and to the partition. Always a bustle. Thirdly, the folding tables are located in one of the armrests, so the armrest does not move.
32C - due to the absence of a seat in front, there will be a lot of additional space for legs and knees. This is very important during a long flight.
43 and 44 rubles, marked in red. The back of the chair will rest against the wall of the toilet, as a result of which there will be a restriction in reclining. It is very uncomfortable to be in a vertical position the entire flight. proximity to toilets does not add convenience. This can lead to bustle, queues, constant sounds of the tank and the closing/opening of the door, etc.
46 rub. - similar 31.32 rub.
47 rub. K,A-data The seats are located directly in front of the emergency doors. There will be additional room for knees and legs. But since the door to the salon sticks out a little, it won’t be possible to pull them out completely comfortably.
47 rub. J,H,C,B - extra legroom, reclining seat backs. What else is needed for a comfortable flight? The only downside to these places is their location close to the toilets. It is always noisy and hectic here both at night and during the day. I can touch you with my elbow and step on my foot.
56 and 70 rub. H,C. These seats stick out into the aisle and can be hit by other passengers or flight attendants with trolleys.
58 rub. located near the galley. Causes inconvenience.
57 and 59 rub. - seats that are marked in yellow may have a restriction in reclining the backrest. Advantages and disadvantages 60 rub. similar 47 rub.
61 rub. the distance to the row of seats in front is several centimeters less than in all the others.
62 rub. F,E,D-similar RUR 31.32 places that are marked in yellow.
62 H,C, advantages and disadvantages are similar to 32 C
72 rub. - leans against the wall. The seat backs have limited reclining or are completely blocked. Passengers will also constantly go to the toilet.
Ask an airline employee for advice
If possible, carefully study the diagram of the airliner you will fly on.
Do not take seats where the seats do not recline or are limited in their ability to do so.
Do not take places near toilets, kitchens and other technical rooms at the very end.
Dear site users!
We hope that this article was useful to you.
If you have ever flown on an airline plane in your life, please share your feedback about the flight.
Clear skies to you, as the pilots say, and a soft landing!
The Boeing 777-200 aircraft is designed specifically for long flights. The aircraft was created in the early 1990s and has been in active operation since 1995. The length of the aircraft is 63.7 meters, the wingspan in various modifications varies from sixty to 64 meters, and the cabin width is almost six meters.
The Boeing version 777-200LR holds the record for the longest non-stop flight.
There are many configurations of this aircraft; depending on the seating arrangement, it can accommodate from three hundred to five hundred and fifty passengers.
Boeing 777-200 of Nordwind Airines
If you are flying Nordwind
Nordwind Airlines has two Boeing 777-200 aircraft in its fleet, in the 777-200ER configuration, which includes 393 seats, divided into business and economy classes. Below is a layout of the Boeing 777-200 cabin and the best seats in the cabin to choose from.
Nordwind Airines Boeing 777-200 cabin layout
This modification of the cabin provides the following breakdown of seats by row: three in the first row, three in the last and four seats in the middle. Toilets are located at the beginning and end of the cabin, there are two bathrooms in different parts of the cabin, utility and kitchen facilities are located at the head and tail of the aircraft, one kitchen is located in the middle of the cabin. There are only six seats in business class, all located at the front of the cabin. Economy class starts from the fifth row.
The fifth and sixth rows of seats are good in their own way, but there is also a fly in the ointment. The downside of these seats is that in front of you there will be a blank wall separating business class from the rest of the cabin. In addition, you won’t be able to stretch your legs, there simply won’t be enough space, and the dining table will have to be taken out of the armrest. But in front of you there will be no annoying neighbors who would recline their chairs. The same advantages and disadvantages are observed throughout the 20th row, as well as on places D-G the twenty-first row, but instead of the business class wall, there will be a toilet in front of you.
Business class aircraft
Rows twelve to fourteen (except for the last three seats in row 12) have a small radius of seat back adjustment because they are located next to the kitchen. In rows 38 and 39 the same problem is observed, only the reason is the proximity of the bathrooms. Another disadvantage of the close location of the WC is the constant flow of passengers past your seat.
The seats in the 45th row are comfortable, since this is where the emergency exits are located, which means there is additional space. But the row 46 next to it is limited in maneuvers - again the proximity of the toilets is to blame.
The seats in the last rows from 54 to 56 are quite comfortable where there are two people. The fuselage narrows at the tail, so there are fewer seats. But rows 57 and 58 are an extremely bad choice. The seats do not recline, and there is a toilet and utility room behind.
Presented to you is a Boeing 777-200 Nord Wind, the cabin layout of which contains the best and not so good seat options. When buying a plane ticket, be sure to pay attention to what seat you are buying, don’t get into trouble - choose seats in which you will enjoy the flight.
Choosing Aeroflot aircraft
Aeroflot has at least thirteen such aircraft. The airline operates aircraft of the 777-200ER modification, the most modern of all existing ones.
The aircraft cabin is divided into three classes: business, comfort and economy, and can accommodate 402 people.
Toilets and galleys are located at the tail and head of the aircraft, as well as at the beginning, middle and end of the cabin. The seats are arranged according to the pattern: “three chairs-four-three chairs.” The fuselage tapering towards the tail suggests a two-four-two configuration. The most seats are in economy class, thirty are in business class, the rest of the seats belong to the “comfort” category.
When flying on a Boeing 777-200 (cabin diagram), the best seats are, of course, located in the classes top level. However, if your choice is economy class, then pay attention to the following rules for choosing a comfortable seat so that the flight brings you only joy.
Economy class starts from the 17th row, where it is quite convenient to fly, since there is an emergency exit in front of the seats, and this guarantees free space around. Two seats in the 18th row, namely C and H, are the most comfortable, as they are located far from the utility rooms, and there are no other seats in front of them.
The seat pitch in the economy row is 74 cm.
