The location of the seats in the aircraft a320 s7. Airbus A320 cabin layout: the best seats. Useful information for passengers about S7 Airlines

If not the most popular, then one of the most popular passenger liners today is the Airbus A320. These cars are used by S7 Airlines to transport passengers around the world. The company's fleet includes 19 Airbus A320 aircraft. Most of them are new. The oldest Airbus 320 s7 Airlines was bought from another airline company Vueling and started flying in 2005.

A 320 passengers fly no more than 6 years. The age of the newest aircraft of this model in the airline is only 4 years old. It was put into operation directly from the Airbus factory.

The aircraft accommodates 158 passenger seats in its cabin. The Airbus A320 airliner, the s7 Airlines cabin layout, uses two classes of passenger seats - economy and business. The layout of the cabin in this aircraft is no different from the A319 model. The business class includes 8 seats, and the economy class - the remaining 150. The cruising speed of the Airbus 320 s7 is 850 km / h, and the maximum flight range without refueling is 4.3 thousand km.

Airbus a320 cabin layout The best places of s7 Airlines are shown in the photo below.

Airbus A320 cabin layout

• You can ask an airline employee to recommend a good place;
• Be sure to consider the layout of the cabin of the aircraft on which to fly;
• You should not buy a ticket for seats whose seats do not recline or have any restrictions in this;
• It is better not to buy tickets for seats located near the kitchen, toilet or other technical components of the aircraft.

The seating arrangement on the Airbus A320 aircraft has general pros and cons.

First, seating near the windows has the advantage of seeing overboard during the flight, except for night flights. Also, no one will disturb the neighbors by getting up to go to the toilet. But getting out of such a place is more difficult, because you have to disturb the neighbors on the right. Seats near the porthole should be ordered for those who are not going to get up often in flight and like to look out the porthole.

Secondly, the aisle seats have exactly the opposite qualities. Getting up from them in flight is very simple. But it can disturb the neighbor on the left, who needs to go out into the aisle. So aisle seats are a good fit for those who will often go to the toilet or the kitchen, or are flying with children.

Now the turn has come to go directly to the features of the location of seats in the cabin of the Airbus A320 aircraft of S7 airlines.

Business class seats

Seats in the business class sector of the aircraft are arranged according to the 2 × 2 scheme and occupy the first two rows of seats, separated by a partition. In this department, it is not possible to single out the minuses, since both the width of the seats and their placement, as well as the services offered, are designed for the comfort of passengers. The only negative may be that someone may not like to sit in the front row in front of the wall.

Economy class

In this section of the aircraft cabin there are more than 100 passenger seats from rows 3 to 27. Armchairs here are arranged according to the 3 × 3 scheme.

Salon of the Airbus A320 airliner

The best in economy class is a flight in the 3rd row. There are no seats in front of the passengers, and the partition with the business class is at a sufficient distance. Therefore, there is enough legroom, and no one will cause inconvenience by reclining the back of the seat in front and exposing their head. And hand luggage can be placed on the shelves located above the seats or given to the stewardess, who will put it in a special compartment. Due to these advantages, the airline usually charges more money for booking seats in the 3rd row than for other seats.

Rows 4-7 are standard in terms of seat sizes and distances between them. But they have an advantage in comparison with the places located in the central and tail parts of the cabin. For example, food is being delivered from the nose of the aircraft, and front-row passengers get the maximum choice of menus and hot dishes.

In addition, there is no queue for the toilet, because the bathrooms are located at the tail of the aircraft. Moreover, most of the seats are located in the tail section of the cabin and at the end of the center. The only drawback of the 7th row can be considered that the view from the window will partially cover the wing and there will be more noise from the engine.

The eighth row is located between the 7th and 9th both by serial number and by amenities. The view through the windows also partially obscures the wing and also makes more noise from the engine located in the wing on both sides of the aircraft body.

Seats in the 9th row have a significant drawback. This is due to the fact that an emergency exit is located behind them and therefore the seats are partially or completely unable to recline. Therefore, during the flight, passengers will have to sit with a vertical back, which is very inconvenient, especially if the flight is long.

Passengers in row 10 will also not be able to recline their seats, but, unlike their neighbors in front, they will be able to stretch their legs freely, since the distance to row 9 is much greater due to the emergency exit. This will also allow you not to disturb the neighbors on the right to get up and go out into the aisle. But due to the emergency exit in the aisle, it will not be possible to put a bag or suitcase, since this is prohibited. By the way, when buying tickets in the 10th row, you will not have to pay for increased space. For comparison, exactly the same conditions in the 11th row will already have to be paid from above.

Seats in row 11 can be somewhat compared to business class, because there is more legroom in front and you can freely recline the backs of the seats. It is only forbidden to put bags and suitcases in the aisle because of the emergency exit, as in the 10th row. The extreme seats near the escape hatches have a small drawback in the form of a missing armrest, which makes them less attractive. It is worth noting that it is forbidden to place passengers with children, with disabilities, with animals, as well as the elderly at the emergency exit.

Places in rows 12-15 do not have pronounced pluses. On the contrary, everywhere, except for the 15th row, the wing will close the view for those who like to watch through the porthole. And the engine will also make more noise than front row passengers.

Seats in rows 16-26 are located at a standard distance from each other and do not imply special amenities. In addition, those sitting closer to the tail of the aircraft will have to endure the inconvenience of a queue for the toilet when it forms. Well, in the case of a flight at night, the sounds in the kitchen and the knocking of doors to the toilet will interfere with sleep. This will especially disturb passengers sitting at the aisle in the 26th row.

Seats in row 27 are the rearmost and it is recommended that you do not buy a ticket for them, as these are the seats with the lowest level of comfort on the Airbus A320. The backs of the seats do not recline here, there are toilets behind your back, and you will often have to watch the queue in them. Also, sounds from the kitchen can disturb passengers. The only relative pluses may be the distribution of food from the tail of the aircraft and the absence of neighbors on the side. Then you can expect to get food first, as well as sit alone on 3 seats. But these cases are unpredictable and the cons cover them.

Nutrition

Separately, it is worth talking about meals on board the A320, which are included in the ticket price and are provided for any fare. If the flight lasts less than 3 hours, then in the economy class only light snacks are offered (sandwiches with cheese and ham), and if the flight is more than 3 hours, the flight attendants will offer hot meals, usually of two types. Serving sizes are usually 100/200 grams. Naturally, business class passengers can count on special meals and drinks.

For flights lasting more than three hours, each passenger can order a special meal, which is paid separately, no later than a day before the flight, and costs 150 rubles. Special meals are divided into types: vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free, children's and Muslim.

Using the above information about the location of seats in the cabin of an airliner, anyone can choose the one that suits them based on preferences and financial capabilities.

The company follows innovations and for the sake of comfort and safety of its customers regularly upgrades its fleet. In the coming years, it will be replenished with 38 liners already ordered, which will replace ships that are close to “ending their careers”. The fleet of C7 aircraft is undergoing significant modernization.

The characteristics of the company's aircraft and seating arrangements can be viewed on the official website https://www.s7.ru/ru/ in the section Information → Our fleet.

Airbus A319

This model has 19 items aged 11-18 years. There are 144 economy class seats. When buying tickets for this airbus, you need to consider that comfort depends on the selected row.

Row 1 pros:

• plenty of legroom;
• a wide selection of drinks and food;
• easy access to the plane.

The disadvantages of this row are considered to be close proximity to the toilet, uncomfortable tables and the inability to place hand luggage under the front seat.

Rows 2 to 8 are optimal: the entrance and exit to the plane are located close, and a good view opens from the windows.

9-17 rows located far from the latrines, but the view from the windows is limited by the proximity of the wings and engines.

Attention! 11 row implies proximity to the emergency exit. It is not bad for having more legroom in front, but keep in mind that it does not sell tickets online and for families with children and / or pets.

The next five rows are distinguished by a good view through the windows, but the 24th row is considered the worst on liners of this type. The main disadvantages: the inability to recline the backs of the chairs and the proximity to two restrooms. These places are not recommended for those who plan to relax during the flight: the constant movement of passengers, the noise of doors and intrusive smells will interfere.

There are 19 such Boeings. They are from 2 to 16 years old. C7 aircraft of this type have 168 seats, of which 12 are business class and 154 are economy class.

Advantages of 1-3 rows:

• comfortable chairs;
• enough space;
• the ability to carry large hand luggage;
• close proximity to the exit;
• neighborhood with only one passenger.

Flaws:

• decent cost;
• close proximity to restrooms.

The seats of the next row are distinguished by increased comfort: a lot of legroom, no neighbor in front, close proximity to the entrance. Cons of 4 rows: the impossibility of placing hand luggage under the front seat and the proximity of the toilet room.

From 5-11 rows a good view from the windows. The inconvenience can be attributed to the inability to recline the backs of the chairs.

Rows 12 to 14 they have more space in front, but they cannot boast of a good view through the windows, and the 13th row is completely devoid of windows. Due to the void between the seats and the aircraft skin, you cannot lean the pillow against the wall during rest.

Another distinctive feature of 12-14 rows is the presence of emergency exits near.

On the ground 15-21 rows you can have a good rest, as they are far from the toilets, however, the view through the Illuminati is limited by the wings and engines.

The next 7 rows are for those who like to view the views over the side of the plane, but they will not suit people who value peace, because passengers will walk past them to the restroom, so you won’t be able to relax due to noise and extraneous smells. However, if food is delivered from both sides, it will be possible to be one of the first to dine.

Airbus A320

S7 Airlines has 18 such aircraft aged from 3 to 9 years. Each has 150 economy class seats and 8 business class seats.

The first two rows are distinguished by comfortable seating, spaciousness, a large selection of food and drinks, the ability to carry more things, close proximity to the entrance and one neighbor in a double chair. Disadvantages: high price and the presence of a nearby toilet room.

Seats 3 rows are considered very comfortable. Their advantages:

• legroom;
• the absence of a passenger in front and a reclining seat;
• quick entry / exit;
• fast service.

• inability to put things under the front seat;
• the proximity of the restroom;
• uncomfortable tables.

Places of 4-8 rows are considered optimal: they have a good view from the windows, food and drinks are delivered quickly, entrance / exit is nearby.

The next three rows are located next to the emergency exits, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The seats of the 9th row do not recline, and on the 10th and 11th rows it is impossible to put things under the seats. Also, these places are not suitable for those traveling with a child or a pet, and they cannot be booked online.

On 12-17 rows the view from the windows is limited by wings or engines, but it is calm here.

18-26 rows suitable for lovers of beautiful views from the window of an airplane, but not for those who are looking for silence.

27 row is considered the worst for passengers: the seats do not fold out, the closeness of the toilets is felt. One can only hope for a quick supply of food if it is carried out from both sides of the cabin.

The airline S7 has 7 such aircraft, they are from 2 to 14 years old, they have 197 seats, 8 of them are business class.

Pros of the first two rows:

• space;
• comfortable chairs;
• the possibility of carrying larger luggage;
• the proximity of the entrance;
• one satellite nearby.

• high price;
• closeness to the restroom.

The 3rd row attracts with increased comfort for the legs, the absence of a passenger in front, the close location of the entrance and fast service. However, the tables are not very comfortable, things cannot be placed in front, and the toilet is not far away.

Rows 4 to 10 are distinguished by a good view from the windows (except for row 9), a close location of the entrance to the salon, and a quick delivery of food and drinks.

Peculiarity: row 10 seats A and F have plenty of legroom.

The next 11 rows are relatively calm. The view from the window can be covered by wings or engines.

Rows 22 and 23 do not have portholes, but they attract with only three and two seats, respectively, and good legroom.

You can enjoy the views from the window on rows 24-34, but at the same time there will be decent noise due to the proximity to the toilet.

The 35th row is considered the worst: the backs of the seats do not recline, and the frequent visits of passengers to the nearby restroom do not allow them to relax during the flight.

Embraer ERJ-170

S7 Airlines has 7 ERJ-170s aged 13-14 with 78 economy class seats. They serve flights to local destinations.

On the front row, you can stretch your legs, be one of the first to order food or drinks, quickly get off the plane. However, you cannot put a bag under the front seat, the tables are uncomfortable, and the proximity of the restroom is inevitable.

Rows 2-6 are considered optimal with a good view from the porthole, close entry and exit, and fast service.

Places of 7-13 rows will also be good, they are quite calm. At the same time, wings or engines can block the view from the windows.

From 14-19 rows, a beautiful view from the window opens, but the noise due to visiting the toilets is added. 20 row - the worst because of the inability to recline and relax in a relaxed atmosphere.

The S7 company has 2 such aircraft, 17 and 19 years old. They differ in configuration: the first Boeing has 222 economy class seats and 18 business class seats, the second has 240 economy class seats and 12 business class seats.

The first 2 rows give a lot of personal space. They are located close to the entrance to the salon, it is from here that drinks and food begin to be delivered. The disadvantage is the high cost of tickets.

Economy class starts from row 6. The ability to comfortably stretch your legs, the absence of neighbors in front, the proximity of the exit, quick service - these are its advantages. Cons: Can't put things under the front seat, uncomfortable tables, and close to the restroom.

Pros of rows 7-11: view from the windows, easy access to the salon, fast service.

12-28 rows are optimal for lovers of tranquility. A bad review can upset.

Seats in the 29th row are uncomfortable: due to the proximity of emergency exits, it is impossible to fully recline the backs of the seats.

There is more freedom on the 30th row and there is no folding seat in front, but you can’t put a bag under the front seat, and the seats in the extreme places do not have armrests.

On rows 31-38, the noise from people visiting the toilets will not let you rest.

Due to the close proximity to the toilets, the seats of the last two rows are the worst.

The newest aircraft of the company appeared in 2017 and immediately attracted attention with its noiselessness. It has 156 economy class seats and 8 business class seats. It differs from the Airbus A320 only in the presence of the 28th row.

The color of the liners is the calling card of S7 Airlines

Which company has green planes? At C7. The bright green shade of the liners from 2006 was not to everyone's liking, nevertheless, the company stood out by demonstrating a successful rebranding.

10 years later, S7 Airlines carried out a restyling. Human figures disappeared from the fuselages, the red circle was removed from the body, the inscription of the S7 company name was enlarged, the tail section was repainted from light green to light green. There are not many such options yet: these are the new Airbus A320neo and Embraer 170 models.

Not everyone is aware that the C7 aircraft also comes in a shade of turquoise. This was due to the creation by the owners of a new legal entity - Charlie Airlines.

Many people use the services of S7 Airlines, which has long won the respect and love of Russians and foreigners. Knowing about the features of choosing seats on C7 aircraft, you can make your trip ideal and as comfortable as possible. Vessels are reliable, comfortable and distinguished by bright hull design.

Travelers who have no experience of flights pay little attention to preparing for the flight. However, such an approach turns into a spoiled mood - after all, an uncomfortable seat on board spoils the impressions of a voyage that lasts up to three hours. And if there is a long flight, such a question takes on a double relevance. Let's talk about how to choose a seat on an airplane S7» by e-ticket - such skills will be useful for many readers.

Let's start with a description of the general standards that the airline has set. Today, for the customers of this carrier, the choice of a seat on the plane " S7» is available both at and during registration. True, for people who purchase the tariffs of the Economy Flexible and Economy Basic classes, such a service was rated at 300 rubles if the passenger plans to choose a seat at the stage of booking tickets.

The airline makes an exception for certain categories of travelers who are entitled to receive the service for free. Among such people, the carrier singled out business class clients and participants in the S7 Priority and Oneworld programs with two fellow travelers, disabled people and passengers with children under 12 years old, travelers who purchased tickets at the Business Pass fare and corporate groups.

Note that the early seat reservation service is only open to customers who plan to fly on a scheduled flight. Moreover, you can pay for the service at the airline's office in cash, with a bank card or by transferring funds on the Internet.

"S7" allows tourists to change the initial choice, but here the conditions for changing the seat are determined by the tariff scale. Fans of economical flights with Economy Basic class tickets make changes on the air carrier's portal, immediately paying for the service. As for other customers, here any convenient option is available to passengers until the last 4 hours before departure.

If the traveler changes his mind within 4 hours before departure, the seat can only be changed at the check-in counter.

In addition, there are also limitations. For people who fly in the cabin, booking seats on the S7 aircraft by tickets is not available, since such customers are provided only with seats at the economy class windows. The service is also closed for children who fly unaccompanied. Finally, passengers carrying valuable luggage in the cabin are also not entitled to reserve seats on their own. Only the last row of the economy cabin is available here.

Extra Space locations

Separately, let's talk about the possibilities of reserving seats with increased comfort. On liners that fly on a regular schedule, travelers book seats at the economy class emergency evacuation hatches - here the space between the seat blocks is traditionally increased. Of course, the number of such seats is determined by the aircraft model.

These seats are considered the most comfortable in the cabin. When choosing such a seat, remember that here you will have to put luggage on the shelf during the flight, since the placement of passenger things in the aisles is unacceptable here. In addition, there are restrictions on the reservation of these seats.

To take such a seat, the passenger will need knowledge of Russian or English and the absence of children under 18 years of age. It is forbidden to book such seats for disabled people, and for passengers who are subject to the usual restrictions in choosing a seat.

As for the prices for such seats, here the cost of the service starts from 1 000 rubles. The final amount depends on the direction and distance of the route, the point of departure and the time of reservation. Travelers who place an order at the same time as purchasing an itinerary receipt save 10% of the nominal price, and people who choose a seat at check-in will reduce the original cost by 5%.

Keep in mind that by changing the decision before the departure of the board, the tourist will not return the money that he paid for this place.

Refunds here are possible only in case of a forced seat change due to the fault of the airlines, due to a documented illness of a passenger or the death of a close relative of an airline client. To receive money, a tourist just needs to fill out a standard form for a refund on the website, supplementing the application with a copy of the boarding pass with a flight attendant's note about the forced seat change.

Algorithm and principle of finding a suitable seat

Having decided on the requirements of the carrier, let's move on to the question of how to book a seat on an airplane via the Internet using an electronic ticket " S7". Here, several options are available to the passenger: during the purchase of an itinerary receipt, after purchasing an air ticket in the “my bookings” section of the site, or when. Consider the step-by-step procedure for the most common method - reserving a seat when booking a flight online.

You will be able to reserve a seat during the purchase of air tickets, at any time after the purchase or during check-in for the flight

The main page of the portal contains a link to the flight registration. Click on the tab and enter the last name and booking code in the fields that open. Keep in mind that the information that the passenger indicates at this stage matches the data in the passport and itinerary receipt. Therefore, it is appropriate to check the ticket in advance to avoid annoying misunderstandings before departure.

Then we press the “registration” button, study the rules for transporting luggage and click “continue”. At this point, the airlines automatically assign the seat to the customer. To see the proposed chair and make adjustments, click "change".

Here, before the traveler, a diagram of the location of seats on the plane opens up. S7 Airlines". The chairs, which are painted gray, are already occupied, so we focus on white. We study the location of technical units and bathrooms, and choose a suitable seat. For the changes to take effect, click "Save and Continue". Now all you have to do is print your boarding pass.

Seat selection on the S7 aircraft on the official website of the airline

Note that the solution can be changed any number of times. The only nuance here is the collection of payment from the passenger, so approach such an event thoughtfully and seriously. Avoid the last rows and seats at the hozblok. There is less turbulence in the nose of the aircraft, but the tail section is considered safer. You can read more about the principles of search.

Important nuances

Situations when not the most successful options are displayed on the board cabin diagram are a frequent occurrence. After all, the carrier independently books the best seats for passengers who register. In such situations, it is appropriate for the traveler to find the most suitable chair and consolidate the changes. However, there is still a chance to get a better seat.

If you are dissatisfied with the choice of seat, it is appropriate to arrive at the beginning of check-in at the airport and ask the employee to change the seat

The first option here is to drive to the airport and ask the check-in desk to secure your preferred seat. As a rule, employees satisfy such requests without any problems. The second method is more risky, but experienced tourists also use this technique. It is enough here after the landing announcement to go into the cabin and wait until the passengers take their seats. If you see a suitable option, warn the flight attendant about the desire to take an empty seat.

Airline employees respond loyally to such questions. True, the disadvantage of this method is the lack of guarantees of obtaining the desired. There are no free seats on busy routes, and other passengers actively use this method.

Now a few words about the reservation of seats by first and business class passengers. In such situations, it is inappropriate for the traveler to worry about finding the best option - after all, the seats in these service rooms are equally comfortable. Perhaps the choice of a place here becomes expedient only for personal reasons and preferences.

Finally, we leave some useful recommendations that will help travelers find the right seat. To find out the exact number of a passenger seat, just look at the boarding pass or contact the airline representative by phone. Carefully study the layout of the specific board on which the flight is to be. Remember, all models of liners are equipped with a different number of seats. Although a typical scheme of aircraft of a certain class will help here.

When booking a seat, consider the likely inconvenience during the flight

Avoid seats where folding functions are limited - the road turns into torment, and leaving the block here becomes very problematic. Estimate the approximate distance to the row in front to assess your personal chances of a comfortable flight. If you are going to travel alone, avoid seating "in the middle" of the block. In such situations, armchairs near the aisles or windows are appropriate.

The airline offers loyal conditions for passengers with babies. If the family reserves a separate seat for the child, a free car seat or bassinet is allowed in such situations. In addition, such customers are practically unlimited in choosing a seat in the cabin. The only exception here is Extra Space Seats.

We hope that we have clarified for readers the rules for reserving seats on airline flights. S7 Airlines". As you can see, such a service is available to all airline passengers and in most cases becomes a free bonus to the selected fare. However, do not forget that early booking of a passenger seat saves the tourist from having to deal with such important issues at the last moment. Take care of personal convenience in advance in order to remember the trip from a pleasant side.

Traveling by air will be remembered from the best side with a successful choice of a place in the cabin of the liner
The conditions for choosing and booking seats on an airplane determines the fare of the ticket
Seats at emergency exits are considered the best in the economy cabin, so booking them requires an additional fee.
Taking a seat at the evacuation hatch, the passenger puts things on the shelf for hand luggage and does not leave bags in the aisle

There are 21 Boeing 737-800 aircraft flying in. Aircraft have two slightly different cabin layouts. Firstly, the difference lies in the fact that in one of the options there is a row in which there are 2 + 2 passenger seats. And secondly, the numbering of the rows is “shifted” by 1.

For example, in the first version of the cabin, the porthole is missing on the 9th row, in the second - on the 8th. In the first version, the seatbacks do not recline in the 12th row, and in the second - on the 11th. There are no other significant differences. Keep this in mind when registering online.

Both configurations have two classes in the cabin - business and economy.

We will consider one of the layouts of the Boeing 737-800 S7 Airlines cabin and try to figure out where the plane is good and where are uncomfortable places.

1-3 rows. These are business class seats. We note several features:

First row located closest to the kitchen and toilets, and you will also have to watch the wall during the flight. However, a significant plus of these places is that no one will throw back the back of their chair on you. It is clear that the width between the rows is large, but the reclining angle of the business class seats is significant.

And on 3 row may be inconvenient to be next to a noisier economy class.

However, these little things are not so important, and you will be comfortable in these places.

4 row. This is the first row of economy class seats, located in front of the partition, extra space seats. The rigid partition only reaches the middle of the business class seat, then there is free space. Very comfortable seats, but they are intended for holders of status cards (gold or platinum) or for an additional fee for other passengers.

On the plus side, no one will definitely lean the back of their chair on you, there is a lot of legroom. Also, food is being served from your row. This means that you will receive it first.

Seats in 9th row A and F. There is information that in some configurations of this aircraft there is no porthole. If this is important to you, check this point with the air carrier.

Seats in row 12- seats, behind which the first series of emergency exits is located. In this regard, as a rule, the seats do not recline or have a strong limitation in this.

13 row. These are places with pluses and minuses.

First about the cons. Since behind this row is the second series of emergency exits, the seatbacks are unlikely to recline.

Well, now the pluses.

Firstly, there are two, not three chairs in a row. It is always more convenient, especially if you are flying as a couple. And secondly, there is additional legroom. True, you will not be allowed to block the passage with hand luggage. Also, passengers with disabilities, passengers with children and animals should not be in these places. There may be restrictions for the elderly.

Seats in row 14 are pretty good places. Plenty of legroom, backrests recline. A small minus is that seats A and F can be "beveled", and there, most likely, there are no armrests on the side of the emergency hatch.

On April 28, 2011, Globus Airlines, a member of the S7 Airlines Group, received a new Boeing-737-800 aircraft at its plant in Seattle (USA). This aircraft was the first Boeing 737-800NG received by a Russian airline directly from the stocks of the Boeing plant.

During the construction of the aircraft for S7 Airlines, Boeing shot a very cool video. Here on the accelerated filming all stages of construction are shown. It looks like a children's designer is being assembled. I strongly recommend to see:

In general, the aircraft of the 737th family are the most popular in the world. The NG (Next Generation) modification was introduced in December 1997, and already in July 2006 the 2000th aircraft was delivered, which is 6 years faster than any other passenger aircraft.

The liner for S7 Airlines is designed to carry 160 passengers: 12 business class seats and 148 economy class seats:

The cabin is equipped with modern passenger leather seats from Recaro:

It will be especially sweet for passengers to sit in the seats at the emergency exit (rows 12 and 13):

Row spacing is 31 inches (79 centimeters), which is 8 centimeters more than the minimum allowed for this type of aircraft. In business class, row spacing is 42 inches (1 meter).

The length of the liner is 39.5 meters, the flight speed is 850 km / h, the maximum flight range is 5,665 kilometers.

In May 2011, the aircraft will start operating flights from Moscow (Domodedovo) to Novosibirsk, Yakutsk, Ulan-Ude, Chita, Norilsk, Krasnodar, Sochi and other cities of the S7 Airlines route network.

In total, the airline has an order for 10 new Boeing-737-800 aircraft.
