The best places Boeing 737 500 Nordavia. Location of seats in the tail section

Let's figure out where the best seats are in the Utair Boeing 737-500 cabin, and which seats should be checked in last.

It is worth noting that the feature of the model is the absence of row 13, as in most foreign aircraft.

First two rows aircraft is in business class. At the same time, in any salon, these are always places of increased comfort, which compare favorably with economic ones.

The economy class is given places from 5 to 23 rows.

5 row- first place in economy class. They have a significant drawback - a partition wall in front of their eyes, however, no one will recline the back of their chair on the passengers of these seats.

Seats in row 11— the backs of the row located in front of the emergency hatches do not lower, which can cause inconvenience during a long flight. So, the passengers of these seats are on the plane exclusively in an upright position (the seat backs do not recline).

Seats in row 12 distinguished by its compactness. Due to the proximity of the emergency exits, the number of seats in this row has been reduced from six to four - two on each side of the aisle, which is quite convenient if you are flying together. At the same time, the chairs have a significant drawback - their backs do not recline.

The best economy class seats are located in 14 row seats A and F, which is located just behind 12. Due to the lack of extreme seats of the previous row, passengers can easily sit in complete comfort with their legs stretched forward. Convenient places.

Passengers 22 rows, seats C and D will experience discomfort due to the proximity to the toilet. Their flight will be accompanied by endless queues to the toilets and the sounds of a descent tank.

Seat holders of the last 23 rows experience all the "charms" of the neighborhood with toilets. Firstly, due to the proximity of the wall, their chairs do not recline. Secondly, they become unwitting neighbors of everyone who wants to go to the sanitary room. And the endless sounds of a slamming door and the murmur of water accompany the passengers of the last row throughout the flight.

You should not buy these seats if you can make a different choice and book a more comfortable seat.

The UTAir airline uses Boeing 737-800 aircraft in its fleet with two types of cabins - business and economy classes, and a mono-configuration. How to choose the best seats on the Boeing 737-800, read on.

Some time ago, world and Russian airlines began to take extra money for seats with an increased step. UTAir is no exception. Nevertheless, you can fly in comfort without overpaying for seats under the “Choose Comfort” service.

The image shows two layouts of the Boeing 737-800 cabins with business class and mono layout (economy only):

The best seats on the Boeing 737-800 with business class

Business class is located from 1st to 3rd row (12 seats). Seat layout: 2x2. I will not dwell on the description of this part of the cabin. The best seats in business class include any chair.
Economy class seats are located from 4th to 28th row (147 seats). Each row has its own characteristics:

Row 4
Seats in this row have increased legroom and are included in the "Choose Comfort" service. Seats in this row UTAir sells for money.
The distance from the seats of the 4th row to the partition separating the business class from the economy class is 40.5 cm. Quite comfortable.

Rows 5-8
Life hack how to fly in comfort at no extra cost:
Once these rows belonged to the Economy-comfort class, now the airline classifies them as a regular economy class.

If possible, take seats in this block. Armchairs of the former Economy Comfort have folding footrests and adjustable headrests! The step of the seats is also impressive: 81 cm!

And it's all free.

Also, the advantages of this block of rows are the range of the toilet, the absence of people walking during the flight. In addition, food distribution starts from the 4th row and all the most delicious in the full range is at your disposal.

Row 9
All the pluses of the block from 5 to 8 row.
The disadvantages of this row include the engine that partially obscures the view from the window and increased noise during takeoff. Seat spacing is standard.
Due to the partition behind this row, the backs of the seats may not recline.

Rows 10-11
Standard rows of seats. The disadvantages include the lack of a view from the porthole. To the pluses - silence, because. the noise from the engines is muffled by the wing.

Attention! Seats in the 10th row may not recline!

Row 12
The seats on this row are high-comfort seats and are definitely included in the list of the best seats on the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The pitch of these chairs is 90 cm.
But there are also disadvantages: the view from the porthole closes the wing. Seat backs may not recline due to emergency exits.

Rows 13-17
Everything is similar to rows 10-11.

Row 18
The view from the window is partially covered by the trailing edge of the wing, increased noise from the engine during takeoff is possible. Seat spacing is standard.

Rows 19-26
What can be said about this sector of the cabin? The closer to the tail, the worse the place.
Of course, in terms of safety, the tail section is preferable, but I always try to choose seats closer to the nose of the aircraft.
The cabin sector from wings to tail is the most saturated with passengers, so to speak.

What awaits people who have taken seats in this part of the aircraft:

• Passengers scurrying in the aisle. To the toilet and just kneading legs.
• Lines for the toilet. As a result, interference with the personal space for passengers in aisle seats, hanging and leaning on their backs, while waiting for access to the toilet.

Row 27
If you happen to choose seats in this row, do not take D, E, F. Because these chairs are the last in the cabin. Behind them are only toilets and a kitchen.
Consequences of this arrangement: non-reclining seatbacks, noise from slamming toilet doors, noise from the kitchen, queues.

Row 28
Is half near. It has only three chairs - A, B, C. It has all the "charms" of places D, E, F of row 27. But that's not all.

The step of the seats in this row is reduced. Tall people will not be comfortable flying in this row.

Best Seats on Boeing 737-800 Mono (Economy Class Only)

The entire cabin of the aircraft is given under economy class. Rows 1 to 31. Seat pattern: 3x3. Seats 186.

Row 1
Refers to places of increased comfort. Seats are available at an additional cost.
The distance to the partition separating the economy class from the office space from the seat is 58 cm.

Despite the fly in the ointment in the form of seat fees, the front row seats are the very best in UTAir's Boeing 737-800.
In addition to the increased legroom, the advantages include the absence of front seats, as well as:

• No one leans back in front of you
• Children don't drop toys in your coffee.
• You do not contemplate the top of the head of the passengers during the flight
• There is always a free toilet nearby.
• The entire range of food

Boeing 737-800 cabin in mono layout:

Rows 2-10
Good seats in any row of this block. Seat spacing is standard. Lack of walking people during the flight. In the 10th row, increased noise from the engine is possible.

Row 11
Partially obscuring the view from the window of the engine and increased noise from it on takeoff are the disadvantages of this series.

Rows 12-13
The view from the porthole is closed by the leading edge of the wing, but because of it, the noise from the engine is less audible.

The medium-haul Boeing 737 500 serves many flights of such major airlines as Transaero, UTair, Nordavia or Belavia.

It belongs to the glorious family, whose aircraft are the most massive among passenger liners in the entire history of their existence. We will consider the general characteristics of this model, as well as the layout of the Boeing 737 500 cabin itself.

Like all Boeing 737, this airliner is a narrow-body airliner for medium and short haul airlines.

This model has a huge number of advantages: from an increased level of comfort and efficiency, to full compliance with environmental parameters and global flight safety requirements.

Boeing 737 500 aircraft of Lufthansa

Of the shortcomings, perhaps, one can single out the absence of an emergency fuel dump, but it is more than offset by excellent fuel economy and a crew of two pilots.

This allows airlines to offer passengers more than attractive prices for flights.

Compared to others, the Boeing 737 500 is shortened by 2 meters (its total length is 31 m). It has a higher range than the 737 200 and 737 300 models. Passenger capacity is from 132 to 114 seats. It has been in operation since March 2, 1990.

Boeing 737 500 cabin map

For example, let's take the layout of the cabin of the Boeing 737 500 UTair and see the best places there. This company has only about 32 aircraft of this type.

There are options for 116 and 126 seats. We will choose a plane with 116 seats. There are 6 seats in a row - 3 on one side and 3 on the other side.

Boeing 737 500 cabin map

As usual, there is 2 classes of service - Business and Economy. The business class is located in the first two rows, consisting of 8 seats. As elsewhere, it is characterized by an increased level of comfort.

Rows 3 to 20 seats are at the disposal of economy class passengers. There are 108 seats in total.

On the one side 3 row inconvenient because there is a partition in front, but on the other hand, no one will throw their seat back on you. Another plus is that it is more peaceful here. Small children sitting in front or especially noisy passengers will disturb you less.

3-7 rows has one important advantage. They will be served first by flight attendants, after business class passengers, of course.

8 row located in front of the emergency exits. The disadvantages of such a row are obvious - you can’t recline the back, so you have to sit in the same position for the entire flight, which is not very convenient, given that some flights are very, very long.

9 row located right next to the emergency exits. Therefore, even at check-in, passengers are specifically asked if they agree to fly. You can't recline the back either. But there is a plus - you can safely stretch your legs forward without fear of noisy objections from your neighbors.

From 10 to 19 row- these are the standard places where you can recline the back. But here you are faced with the problem of comfortable placement of the legs.

Last 20 row has its own significant drawback - proximity to the toilets. Here you will have to listen to the sound of opening and closing doors for the entire flight, as well as watch the queue.

The second aircraft, designed for 126 seats, differs in that there is no division into business and economy class. All rows - from 1 to 21 - are economy. This is perhaps its only difference from the first. Otherwise, it coincides with the arrangement of places with the first.

On the UTair website, you can choose suitable seats for you. and you know that you may become ill, it is better to choose places near the toilets so that you can quickly go to them. Or choose an aisle seat.

Seats on a Boeing 737 500 Utair

If you have, combined with agoraphobia, then avoid places near the porthole.

If there is a transfer, it is better to sit in places closer to the exits so that you can quickly and quickly get out.

Boeing 737-800 is one of the most popular aircraft in the world and Russian airlines are no exception - almost all of them have such liners in stock.

We have already considered the configuration of the Boeing 737-800 Transaero and S7 Airlines. Also, on our website there is a general overview of this model - here.

Well, now, let's consider the layout of the Boeing 737-800 cabin of UTair. By the way, in total, 10 such aircraft fly in the passenger fleet of the airline. The scheme, which can be viewed on the official website of UTAir (utair.ru)

Boeing 737 -800 from UTair's official website We will present it in a different, more convenient form and see where it is most convenient to sit in the cabin.

First row business class- as practice (and photographs of the interior) shows, the location of the partition is close enough to the chairs. Also, the proximity to the galley can be a concern.

WITH 4 to 9 rows there are places of economy comfort. Service in this class (according to UTair) meets the business class standards of continental European airlines.

The seats are no different from the economy class seats, but the pitch between the rows is slightly larger. We would note 4 row. Despite the presence of a partition in front of you, there is a slight advantage compared to other places - no one will recline the back of their chair on you.

Passengers in this class can take 30 kg of luggage on board.

Also, unlike the usual economy class, meals include a much more extensive menu: salads, snacks, hot dishes, wines and juices.

10 row- the first row of the usual economy class. And he immediately falls into the category of "unfavorable" - the backs of the seats do not recline, since emergency exit doors are located immediately behind them.

11 row. Places with both advantages and disadvantages. The backs do not recline, for the same reason as in the 10th row, but there is additional free legroom. This is due to the fact that the step between the rows is slightly increased.

12 row- comfortable places. The backs recline, the distance to the front row of seats is comfortable. Seats 12 A and 12 F are slightly worse, as there are no left and right armrests, respectively. Also, portholes are not very conveniently located on this row.

Even such places near emergency exits have several restrictions: you can’t block the passage with hand luggage, you can’t sit for elderly passengers, the disabled, passengers with children and animals. These are precautions in case of an emergency on board.

Seats at 26 and 27 (A,B,C)- in some configurations of aircraft of European companies, the width of the seats is slightly reduced. We do not know how things are with UTair. Check this point with the representative of the airline before check-in!

Locations in 27 (D,E,F) and 28 rows- as a rule, the last rows rest against the wall of the toilet or galley.

In this case, the seat backs do not recline.

Also, the very proximity of the technical premises is of great concern. Walking along the aisle of people, the whole flight the sound of a descent tank, slamming doors, etc.

Not the most pleasant places, especially for long-distance flights.

Boeing 737-500 belongs to the Classic generation. In terms of the number of passenger seats, it replaced the 737-200 model, it became 2 meters shorter in length than. It was equipped with new generation low noise engines. With all these indicators, the flight range has increased. Flights of new aircraft began to operate in 1990.

General characteristics of the aircraft:

• Length: 31 meters.
• Speed: 800 km/h
• Range of flight: 4400 km.
• Maximum number of passengers: 132 people.

Although the production of this model ceased in 1999, airlines still offer flights on this aircraft because it continues to be reliable in operation.

The cabins of this aircraft model differ between airlines in the number of seats, the name of the classes, as well as the distance between the seats.

1. cockpit; two entrances at the beginning of the aircraft, two - in the tail, 2 spare - in the middle; 2 galleys at the front, 1 at the tail; 1 toilet at the beginning, 2 at the tail.
2. The total number of rows is 26, the total number of seats is 101. The business class can accommodate eight passengers. Premium economy class has thirty seats up to emergency exits. Then two rows of six seats on each side of the aisle after the emergency exits, for a total of twelve. This aircraft has more space between the seats in economy class than other models. The tourist economy class includes eight rows of three seats on each side of the aisle and three seats at the very end of the aircraft, for a total of fifty-one seats.
3. The total number of rows is 20, the total number of seats is 116. The business class can accommodate eight passengers. The economy class has six rows of three seats on each side of the aisle, for a total of thirty-six seats. Then there are twelve rows of three seats on each side of the aisle after the emergency exits, for a total of seventy-two seats.
4. The total number of rows is 23, the total number of seats is 131. Economy class: the first row of three seats on one side of the aisle, then there are only fifty-seven seats to the emergency exits. Then, after the emergency exits, there are twelve rows of three seats on each side of the aisle and one row at the end of the cabin with two seats, a total of seventy-four seats.
5. The total number of rows is 21, the total number of seats is 126. Economy class: fifty-four seats before emergency exits and seventy-two seats after emergency exits.
6. The total number of rows is 24, the total number of seats is 114. There are eight seats in the business class. Next is the economy class: thirty-six seats to the emergency exits; four chairs opposite the emergency exits. After emergency exits, there are sixty-six places.

Based on these parameters, you can choose an economy class with a large distance between the seats, or seats in two rows instead of three. And also roughly calculate the distance to the exits from the aircraft.

How to choose the best places?

It is better to choose a convenient location in advance, when booking or buying tickets. Also, after landing, a few minutes before takeoff, you can transfer to a free seat on your own.

Boeing 737 500 best seats and uncomfortable:

• The general advantages of business class are more comfortable seats, more space between the seats, which allows you to better relax during flights. You can also enjoy the variety of dishes served.
• The location at the tail of the aircraft according to the statistics of air crashes is the safest for passengers.
• In the middle of the liner, it is dangerous because of the proximity to the wings and the engine.
• Those sitting at the front are offered a more varied menu than passengers at the back of the plane.
• Near the portholes, the places are ideal in order to sleep, admire the clouds or read in the daytime. When going to the toilet, you will have to disturb the passengers who are sitting nearby.
• Medium neutral seats will be comfortable if thin neighbors are nearby.
• Extreme places are inconvenient because someone constantly passes by, sometimes even hurts.
• After the partitions it is convenient, because no one will recline their seat back on you. People who like privacy will have their own space. Inconvenient for those who do not want to look at the wall during the entire flight.
• Seats with poorly reclining backs: the last row in the tail near the toilets, in front of and near emergency exits, in front of partitions for other passenger classes.
• Near the emergency exits there is an additional distance, you can freely stretch your legs. But here it is impossible for elderly passengers, with children, with animals, to clutter up the passage with things. Flight attendants prefer to put strong men in this place, who are able not to get confused in an emergency and open an emergency exit.
• At the beginning of the plane there may be a place designed for baby strollers . Accordingly, the kids will become the closest neighbors, which is not always convenient.
• Two seats in a row is good because of the more personal space.
• Right next to the toilet it is difficult to relax due to the constant walking of passengers and slamming doors, so these places are considered the worst.

It can be concluded that the comfort of the flight depends on many small factors. The most convenient option is the availability of several empty seats in the endliner and the ability to sit on 2 or 3 seats at once.
