Where is the best place to sit on Boeing 777 200? North wind

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

Location of special premises

Before choosing a seat on a Boeing 777-200 (“Vim”), it is better to consider the cabin layout in advance. This will provide an opportunity to better understand where the service areas 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 in the diagram of the Boeing 777-200 cabin (Vim Avia). Also, after the 9th and 19th rows there are emergency exits, which also has its pros and cons, which we will discuss in more detail later.

Best places

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

Some people like 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, chat with 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 you cannot use one armrest. But passengers still like these seats because they can stretch their legs well. However, people are not advised to buy tickets near the aisle, since in the Boeing 777-200 from Vim Avia the cabin diagram shows that there are two toilets in the bow, but a queue for the bathroom can still form in the aisle.

In terms of seats, the 10th row is also considered good. Here on each side of the aisle there are not three, but only two seats. In front is the passage to the emergency exits. You can perfectly stretch your legs forward without disturbing anyone, get up and go to the toilet, and also without disturbing anyone. However, even in such beautiful places there is one “but”. According to safety regulations, passengers with children are not allowed to sit in these best seats on the Boeing 777-200 cabin diagram from Vim Avia, take hand luggage with them, or place a bag in the aisle. The emergency exit must be clear at all times. The bag will have to be kept on the top shelf above your head.

Average comfort places

The main part of the aircraft cabin has the usual standard seats with 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 the 39th rows. One difference is a small feature of these aircraft. In the middle of the cabin (but, unfortunately, it is not known where exactly) there is one row, which does not have windows at two opposite ends. But many people do not call this a minus of the interior, apparently because they are afraid of heights, and there is less cold from the glass.

Worst places

Previously, we reviewed the best seats in the Boeing 777-200 cabin diagram from Vim Avia. It remains to understand which seats are considered uncomfortable? The seats in the 9th row are considered bad due to the fact that their backs do not recline for relaxation, since there is an emergency exit at the rear. For safety reasons, this is strictly prohibited so as not to block the hatches. In the 19th row, the principle is the same, however, there the seats can be lowered a little, but the backrest angle is minimal.

Seats at the end of the cabin are also considered bad. This is the last 40th row. The backs rest against the wall. Naturally, they don’t go down. Moreover, at the back of the plane there is a strong hum from the engines and it is much cooler than at the front.

Nordwind

The same Boeing 777-200 was purchased by another Russian airline called North Wind. This airliner has two types of seats - business class and economy. They were purchased for long flights and are designed to withstand heavy loads. 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 diagram from North Wind. Of course, the most comfortable seats are 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. Behind it is already the economy class.

The seats are arranged in three columns (3 - 4 - 3), with two aisles 74 cm wide between them. Passengers in the 5th and 6th rows cannot straighten their legs, and you don’t really want to look at the blank partition in front of your eyes the whole way. But the seats in front of the emergency exits (rows 12 and 14, rows 38 and 39) are always considered less comfortable, since their backs do not lower. The seats of the last rows also do not lower, they rest against the wall of the rear compartment, so it is better not to take the 57th and 58th rows, if possible. Especially if the flight is long.

Aeroflot

Finally, let's look at the best seats on the Boeing 777-300 cabin diagram 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 won't repeat ourselves. Let's consider the comfort class. Here, each person has his own lamp and monitor, and a folding table. The seat moves forward, which does not interfere with other passengers.

But the best seats in the Boeing 777-300 cabin layout from Aeroflot are the business class seats. A personal menu is provided, along with many additional options and entertainment. But the price, of course, is appropriate.

An airline that operates flights to destinations of the tourist operator Pegas Turistik. However, after the bankruptcy of some Russian airlines, part of their flights were transferred to Nord Wind.

Regular transportation is carried out under the low-cost system (low-budget flights), where the ticket price may not include baggage allowance or meals on board. All this is provided for an additional fee depending on the destination.

Information about the company

Wind began its flight operations in 2008. Ensuring flight safety and good service is a priority. Now North Wind is among the top ten best airlines in Russia.

Nord Wind operates flights from its base airport Sheremetyevo, and in 2017 passenger traffic increased three times. Currently, the airline operates about 500 flights per week to one hundred and eighty destinations.

The aircraft fleet consists of 21 aircraft, including three B-772ERs. Initially, the airline was created exclusively for charter flights, so the cabin layout was changed from a standard one to a more practical option.

Below in the photo is a diagram of the Boeing 777-200ER cabin. Nord Wind owns two aircraft with tail numbers VP-BJF, VQ-BUD, with 387 economy class seats and 6 business class seats. The VP-BJH aircraft has 261 economy class and 24 business class seats.

General information about the Boeing 777-200ER

Start of operation - 1995, the aircraft is a long-range wide-body twin-engine monoplane. The Boeing 777-200ER is an improved modification of the B772. It has an increased maximum permissible take-off weight - up to 247,200 kg, and a maximum flight range - up to 14 thousand km. Boeing 777 200ER: comfortable luggage racks, cabin width - 5.87 m, windows - 380 x 250 mm.

The aircraft was created for transatlantic flights; its general characteristics are comfortable and quiet for long flights.

Boeing 777-200ER from Nord Wind

All three aircraft of this modification were previously operated in other countries, including Asian companies. Modifications VP-BJB and VQ-BUD first took to the air in 1998, and the VP-BJF airliner - in 2004.

1. Boeing 777-200ER (Nord Wind) cabin layout of VP-BJB and VQ-BUD aircraft: placement of economy class seats - three, four, three; 21, 39, 54, 55, 56, 57 rows - two, four, two; in business - two, two, two. The seats in economy class are narrower and made of lightweight material.
2. (Nord Wind) aircraft VP-BJF: placement of economy class seats - three, three, three; 47, 58, 59 rows - two, three, two; in business - two, two, two.

The seat pitch is up to 74 cm, and the backrest angle is more limited than in similar modifications of airlines engaged only in scheduled transportation.

Evaluation of the best and worst seats in the first and second salons of VP-BJB and VQ-BUD

In the Boeing 777-200ER cabin, the best seats that do not have significant disadvantages are located in the business class cabin. A comfortable flight is ensured by: a comfortable footrest, a good backrest angle, a seat pitch of just over a meter, a large table for eating and an increased seat width (one and a half times wider than in the budget class).

Economy class starts in rows numbered 5 and 6. Pros: no front-seat passengers (which means no one will lower their seat back in front), the ability to hang a cradle for a child during a horizontal flight (therefore, such seats are often assigned to passengers with children in their arms ) and the lack of toilets and kitchens nearby, so the flight here will be more calm. The disadvantages include the small distance to the partition separating the two classes, that is, the passenger will not be able to stretch his legs forward; it is forbidden to keep hand luggage at the feet during takeoff and landing, since there is no holding mechanism in the event of sudden braking of the aircraft.

The advantages of rows 7 to 11 are that the passenger can stretch his legs under the seat in front and place his hand luggage there (if necessary).

Rows 12 and 14 complete the first economy class cabin and are considered uncomfortable, since the kitchen is located nearby, the noise and movements in which will interfere with rest. The backs of the seats are fixed, as there is a partition and an emergency exit at the back.

The second economy class cabin begins from row 20. The advantage is that there are no front-seat passengers. There are many more disadvantages here: there is no opportunity to stretch your legs, the kitchen and toilets are located nearby, the constant bustle among the crew and passengers will create significant inconvenience. Smells from the toilet are also an unpleasant addition to comfort. In addition, queues for the toilet will line up precisely near the extreme seats of this row.

The convenience of the 21st row is only in seats C and H, because there is no seat in front of them and you can stretch your legs completely, but passengers who have gone to the toilet or are simply walking around the cabin to stretch their legs will be in the way.

Due to the lack of individual air conditioners in the luggage compartments above the seats, the operation of the general air conditioning and air circulation system of this modification, the temperature in the cabin between rows 30 and 39 is higher than the standard cabin temperature. And the seats on the 39th row are considered absolutely uncomfortable due to the toilet wall and emergency exits behind the backs of the seats, so they are always fixed in an upright position.

Evaluation of the best and worst seats in the third salon VP-BJB and VQ-BUD

The third salon opens row 45. Due to the presence of an emergency exit in the front, you have the opportunity to stretch your legs, and during the flight no one will tilt the back of the seat in your direction. However, the close location of toilets (unpleasant odors and queues of people who can even stand at emergency exits) turns such a place into a problem.

In row 46, the seats located in the middle of the cabin face the wall of the toilet. Therefore, the disadvantages are unpleasant odors and the inability to stretch your legs.

Seats C and H in row 53 have more inconvenience from contact with passengers, crew and carts going to the toilet during service, since the fuselage narrows in this place.

Rows 54, 55, 56 are comfortable and consist of two seats on the sides of the cabin, respectively, there is more peace here.

The restrooms and kitchen are located next to 57 and 58, so there is no way to recline the seat, and the flight will be ruined by the constant noise and bustle in the toilet queues.

In the tail of the plane, the bumpiness during turbulence is always stronger than in the bow, and for some this is discomfort.

Characteristics of the VP-BJF board layout

(Nord Wind) aircraft with tail number VP-BJF is different from the previous ones. The business class cabin consists of 24 seats (from rows 11 to 16). In economy class there is increased comfort in the seat pitch, so you can lower the backrest lower. Economy class consists of only two cabins and starts with number 31. Passengers who do not have front-seating neighbors during the flight are located in rows 31 and 48, but there is more legroom here. The backs of the seats, fixed in a vertical position, are located in rows 47 and 59. In rows 47 and 48, the presence of toilet rooms is considered a minus for relaxation, and for row 59 - noise from the kitchen in the rear of the aircraft.

If you are planning a long trip and have already chosen a route, the next step you should take is to decide on the model of aircraft on which you will fly. This is not easy for an inexperienced tourist, so in this article we offer an overview of the Boeing 777 200 aircraft model with a cabin layout, which will make it easier for you to decide what to look for when you travel.

The Boeing 777 200 entered production and made its first flight in 1994. Since then, it has been actively used by leading airlines for long-haul and intercontinental flights. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is the first aircraft that was completely designed using computer graphics. In 1997, he set a real record in passenger aviation - he traveled around the world over a distance of over 37 thousand km with the longest landing of only 2 hours! And in 2003, an unprecedented incident occurred that proved the high safety of this transport - after the failure of one of the two jet engines, it flew for another 177 minutes, allowing the crew to successfully land and save hundreds of passengers.

Based on numerous reviews from passengers who flew on the Boeing 777 200, its main advantages can be identified:

• soft takeoff and landing;
• low noise level - the engines are practically inaudible even in the tail section;
• the cabin is equipped with a modern video system with high-quality screens mounted in the backs of the seats;
• in Boeing 777 200, the backrests of business class seats are characterized by increased comfort and ergonomics;
• the backs of the chairs recline to an almost horizontal position, they are equipped with special powerful reading lamps, as well as lumbar supports and massage systems;
• Convenient folding shelves for hand luggage.

Depending on the configuration of the Boeing 777 200, its capacity ranges from 306 to 550 seats. The most commonly used are Airbuses that accommodate 306 and 323 passengers, divided into 3 or 4 classes of service (in addition to the standard three, the Imperial class is sometimes introduced). At the same time, the interior is so spacious that it allows you to feel comfortable even when completely full.

Boeing 777 200 aircraft diagram

In the Boeing 777 200, like in others, there are “best seats”, there is a standard, and there are also those on which the flight may cause some inconvenience. In order to decide what is right for you, you should familiarize yourself with the Boeing 777 200 seat map and their features.

For example, let's take the standard Boeing 777 200 layout with 323 seats, without imperial class.

• Rows 11-26 – seats with an increased level of comfort. However, you should pay attention to the fact that the first and last rows may create some inconvenience. For example, tall people may find it difficult to place their legs in the first row due to the partition, and in the last row, for the same reason, it may be difficult to fully recline the backrest. Also, some passengers may be confused by the proximity of toilets, near which queues may accumulate. For the same reasons, rows No. 30, 50, 51, 64 should be avoided;
• seats C and G of row 52 will appeal to those who like to stretch their legs on a long-distance flight - there are no seats in front of them.

In the diagram presented, unfilled squares indicate standard seats, red ones indicate clearly uncomfortable seats, and yellow ones indicate those for which passengers have comments. The best places are marked in green.

Please also note that seat and aisle widths vary from class to class. For example, the width between the rows in the premium class is 125 cm, and the economy class is only 21 cm.

Nordwind Airlines operates 2 Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The layout of the aircraft provides for 2 classes of service: business and economic. Total passenger capacity is 393 people.

Boeing 777-200 are used for long-distance flights or on routes with high passenger traffic.

Now let's take a closer look at the configuration of these aircraft, which is used in the North Wind.

1 row This is the only business class row. The only thing we can say is that the distance stated by the airlines to the partition from the seat is 127 centimeters.

Let's move on to economy class. The stated distance between the rows is 74 cm. Note that these aircraft use seating layout 3-4-3. This is a rather uncomfortable configuration for passengers, so the cabin is, to put it mildly, “a bit cramped.”

5-6 rows, marked in yellow-green have a number of advantages and disadvantages.

Let's start with the cons.

In front of you there will be a rigid partition separating business and economy classes. There is enough room for knees in these places, but stretching your legs forward will be problematic. Also, watching the entire flight against a wall is not very comfortable.

The advantage of these seats is that no one will lean back on you. On long flights and a modest distance between the rows, this is quite important.

Rows 12-14 all seats in these rows, except 12H, 12J, 12K may have limitations in backrest deflection. Also, the proximity of the on-board kitchen does not add convenience.

20 row- exactly the same pros and cons as in row 5. However, in front of you will not be a partition, but a wall of toilets. The proximity of a WC is always unnecessary fuss. constant walking of passengers, sounds of the tank, doors, etc.

The same goes for 21 radas, seats D, F, E, G.

Please note that places 21H and 21K could be called places of increased comfort, since there is enough free space in front of them. However, the proximity of toilets spoils the whole picture.

In addition to the above-mentioned disadvantages, we add that queues may form near you, they may step on your foot or hit you with an elbow.

Armchairs in rows 38 and 39, marked in red. Most likely, the backrests do not recline or have a limitation in this. There are also toilets nearby.

In some models of this aircraft, there are 1-2 seats with a missing window. In this configuration, these could be seats in the middle section of the cabin, somewhere from rows 20 to 39.

In row 45, due to the location of the escape hatches, there is enough free space in front for legs and knees.

46 row D,E,F,G- they run into the wall.

53C and 53H- behind this row the narrowing of the fuselage begins. The back of your seat may be touched by passing passengers or flight attendants with trolleys.

57 and 58 rows marked in red. The last rows on the plane, the backs, are most likely blocked. They are also located next to toilets and other technical rooms.

Places from 54 to 56 rows, in which there are 2 chairs, instead of 3, are a little more comfortable, thanks to this fact. Especially if you are flying together.

Have a nice flight and soft landing!
