Where is the emergency exit on the plane. Places behind emergency hatches. If you got an uncomfortable seat

How comfortable is it to be on an airplane?
- Can I sleep on the plane?
- Where are the most convenient places in airplane?….

Such questions arise not only among those who are going to long trip, but also for those who fly to Europe.
I was prompted to write this article by the news received by mailing from Aeroflot.

Everything written in this article will concern only passengers and the economy class cabin. Everything written in this article is just my experience.

Since I fly from a small hand luggage(usually this is a briefcase with a laptop and a tablet), then I’m not in a hurry to get on the plane when landing is announced.
Driven into storage? To hell with him. The main thing is not to be removed from the flight.
I will sit until the last in the drive, until they begin to close the landing arm.
Why am I doing this?
It's simple: I wait until the passengers are seated and at the entrance to the plane I will see how many empty seats there are and how they are located in the cabin of the aircraft.

Accidentally sit down in business

After boarding the plane, sit in the empty seats in the business class.
It worked for me on the planes of Alitalia and Iberia: having tickets in economy class, I flew in business class.
But 99% of the time it won't work.
There is a list of passengers on board and the flight attendants, checking the list, drive the "hares" out of business.

But there is nothing wrong with that: sitting in the wrong place is not a crime.
Just silently go to the economy.
One thing is bad: in the economy, during your stay in business, they can take good empty places.

Emergency exit

Sit in the economy class cabin at the emergency exit.
This gives you legroom and no squealing children around.
For example, a good option to fly quietly for 6-8 hours is to land in the middle row of an A330 aircraft with a 2-4-2 layout.

Other options for finding comfort on long-haul night flights:

With the layout of 2-4-2 A330 and in the presence of completely free fours, it would be nice to sit in the middle seat of the middle row (if you are traveling alone), sit down together and, if there are a certain number of free blankets, sit in two tiers: one on the floor under the chairs, the other on chairs by raising the armrests.
It’s uncomfortable to sleep on deuces: you don’t fit completely, and people of small stature can sleep crookedly.

On B747 aircraft, the layout is 3-4-3 on the lower deck.
But sometimes the economy class is located on upper deck.
Once AirFrance flew from Havana to Paris.
I got seats in the economy comfort cabin by giving 50 dollars at check-in for the flight to the senior shift.
The salon upstairs is 3-3-3 and the window seats have a shelf that separates you from the window by 20 centimeters - it's very convenient to throw your legs when the lights go out.
In the light, I do not recommend it, as the legs become visible in front of the seated passenger.

On a night flight from Transaero New York to Moscow, as soon as the stewards turned off the lights and went to their places, I went behind the curtain without advertising my intentions and slept in business until breakfast was announced.
Also an option.

Everything written above does not apply to some aircraft low cost airlines (low cost), which take money for choosing a seat when buying a ticket.
Therefore, on the planes of these airlines, you need to sit in the forefront, since you have a ticket without a seat.

So what are the best seats on a plane? This question worries mainly beginners. If a person goes on an air travel for the first time, he wants to get only positive emotions. Very often, the unfortunate location of the chosen place leaves an unpleasant impression on the whole trip and a reluctance to use the services of the airline again.

Those who have to fly very often know better than others how important comfort is during long flight. Therefore, "old-timers" tend to book seats on the plane in advance, choosing good seats at their discretion.

The choice of the most comfortable place depends on a number of factors, the main of which is its cost. The aircraft cabin is divided into three classes - first, business class and economy.

First class is not available on all planes. This is the most comfortable class for long-haul flights, where there are even lying places, but also the most expensive. Business class is slightly cheaper: it is equipped with comfortable seats with a large distance between them, which makes it possible to take a comfortable position during the flight. Business class passengers have the opportunity to use the built-in sockets to recharge their gadgets.

Ordinary tourists prefer to fly economy class, which resembles a salon intercity bus with closely spaced rows of seats and little legroom between them. This causes a number of inconveniences for owners of long legs, passengers with children or people with special needs.

However, a number of amenities are guaranteed for economy class passengers:

• free lunch;
• baby food, which should be ordered a day or two before the flight;
• hanging cradle for an infant;
• Depending on the carrier, seats in Economy Class are equipped with TVs.

It is very important that during the flight a person feels comfortable, and the trip leaves only pleasant impressions. Therefore, even when purchasing economy class tickets, you need to foresee which seats are best to choose.

In this matter, everyone is guided by their personal preferences, physiological characteristics and safety considerations.

Window seats

If you want to look out the porthole during your trip and admire the beauty of the sky, clouds, landscapes floating under the wing, then you will probably prefer to sit next to it. In addition, it is more convenient to sit here for sleeping or reading. Advantages of a window seat:

• the possibility of observing a wonderful view overboard the liner during daylight hours;
• no one will disturb you during the flight;
• good lighting for reading.

Important: despite the undoubted advantages, the porthole seats have their drawbacks, the main of which is the need to disturb the neighbors in order to go to the toilet.

Aisle seats

For long-legged people flying in economy class, it is better to choose an aisle seat - this will give you the opportunity to relax by stretching your legs in the space between the rows. In addition, there are other advantages that seating near the aisle on an airplane has:

• the ability to get up without disturbing the neighbors;
• unhindered going to the toilet at any time, which is very important for people with special needs;
• a chance to get to the exit before the others when landing.

Despite the convenience for movement, places extreme to the aisle have their drawbacks:

• passengers and flight attendants going to the toilet will constantly scurry past you, carrying food or drinks, and even sometimes touch you while driving;
• you will have to get up every time to let your neighbor out or let him go to his place.

Of course, you have to choose between two evils - and if you are uncomfortable sitting in the middle of a row or at the porthole due to too small a distance between the rows of seats, then it is still preferable to choose an aisle seat.

Airplane seats above the wing

As for the seats on the plane above the wing, then occupy them better people with a weak vestibular apparatus - in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe wing, "chatter" is practically not felt, this is the most stable place on board. However, there may be no porthole, which is not suitable for lovers of contemplation. heavenly beauties. Also, according to statistics, the wing area is the most dangerous place for passengers in case emergency, since the fuel tanks are located precisely in the wings of the aircraft.

Seats at emergency exits

Each aircraft has emergency exits, which are located in its middle part on both sides of the cabin. Many seasoned air travelers prefer to choose seats that are located after the emergency exits. The advantages of this choice:

• the distance at the emergency exit to the front row has been increased;
• in some models passenger airliners, in front of these places there is no row of seats at all;
• there are no constantly lowered backs of the front seats, which cause a lot of inconvenience during the flight.

This makes it possible to freely get up from the chair, without creating inconvenience for your neighbors in the row, and also to sit comfortably in it, stretching your legs.

A person who loves freedom of movement will love the emergency exit/hatch seats.

What can not be said about those who are used to traveling in comfortable chairs. The fact is that the chairs located next to emergency exit, the seatbacks are fixed at a slight angle, and it is not possible to change their position. This is due to the need to provide free access to emergency exits if necessary.

In addition, the row at the emergency exit has its drawbacks:

• you can’t keep hand luggage with you - it must be put on the top shelf;
• passengers with children under 12 years of age, pregnant women, people with physical problems are not allowed to sit on these seats.

This is interesting! The ban on placing children, pregnant women and the disabled at emergency hatches is simply explained - almost all airlines, with rare exceptions, place physically strong passengers in these places, who, in the event of an emergency, could help flight attendants open an emergency exit and organize the evacuation of passengers.

Therefore, if you are a physically strong person, you can safely choose a place for yourself at the emergency exit - at least you will be provided with freedom of movement.

Seats in the tail

The tail of an airplane is not the best for lovers of long journeys. The main advantage, which only a few pay attention to, is the comparative safety for those sitting in the tail section in the event of an aircraft accident. According to American statistics, 67% of plane crash survivors are passengers sitting in the tail of the plane. However, there are some other small advantages:

• if the airport is not equipped with telescopic ladders, and passengers are released through the nose and tail of the aircraft, you have a chance to leave the board among the first;
• tail seats are not popular, so if the flight is not full, you can comfortably sit on a row of empty seats and sleep during the flight.

Cons of places located in the tail:

• the backs of the seats in the tail section do not recline, so you can’t count on a comfortable flight;
• in the tail, the “chatter” is most strongly felt, which causes a lot of trouble for passengers with a weak vestibular apparatus;
• since there is also a toilet in the tail section, you will be constantly disturbed by passengers passing into it, slamming doors and specific smells.

Therefore, having weighed all the pros and cons, most passengers prefer to choose seats away from the tail of the aircraft.

The best seats on a plane with a child

Passengers traveling with young children try to choose the best seats on the plane to ensure comfort for the child. With all the pros and cons, the most comfortable seats on an airplane for children are the front row of seats.

Front row pros:

• in front of the chairs there is an increased space for the free movement and movements of the child;
• there are mounts for a hanging cradle, which is important for passengers with babies;
• when flight attendants start serving lunch, passengers in the front rows get their food first;
• there is a choice suitable option from the proposed menu;
• the shaking is not so much felt when the airliner enters the turbulence zone.

Along with the undoubted advantages, the seats in the first row of seats are not very convenient for passengers with small children for several reasons:

1. There is nowhere to put a bag with things that are necessary for babies in flight.
2. Armrests do not rise at the first row seats, so it is uncomfortable for the baby to sleep in the arms of their parents.
3. During check-in for a flight, the company's employees allocate seats for passengers with children in the forefront. If there are several kids nearby, they can interfere with each other.

Therefore, if you do not need a hanging cradle, it is better to choose a place closer to the middle of the cabin. The most advanced passengers choose the first and third places in a row - it is likely that no one will be put in the middle seat, and then you can, by folding the armrests, arrange a sofa for the baby to sleep, or a place to play.

It is better to avoid choosing seats in the tail section if you are flying with a child. However, if the liner is not fully loaded and the last row is completely empty, you can, after coordinating your actions with the flight attendant, take it. Then you will get the maximum free space to ensure a normal sleep for the child.

Important: you can get the necessary information about the seats in a particular aircraft model, the width of the seats, the distance between them, the location of utility rooms, windows, using the services of the SeatGuru service. On the above diagrams of the location of the salons, the best places for this model are also indicated.

We have covered only the main characteristics of the seats located in various parts of the aircraft. However, each airline, depending on the model of the operated liner, has its own characteristics and preferences when implementing the most comfortable seats. If you don’t want to get into trouble, it’s better to find out in advance which airline and which model of aircraft you will use for the flight, go to the company’s website, select the desired model and in the section “ Best Places» see the options that are right for you. Even if you did not find the scheme of the desired model, use our tips - they will help you make the right choice.

Pros:
They are characterized by the fact that the distance to the next row is slightly increased, which allows you to pass the flight time with great comfort - stretch your legs, stand up if necessary, without disturbing your neighbors. Some types of aircraft do not have a row of seats in front of the seats at the emergency exit / hatch.

Minuses:
Often, airlines, for security reasons, practice leaving these places for people who meet the requirements of “a healthy mind in a healthy body” - it is assumed that in the event of an emergency evacuation, such a person will not be confused, will be able to open the emergency hatch and help the staff to evacuate people, but, Of course, not all airlines undertake such a “layout”.

In this regard, passengers with children, animals and the elderly cannot be here.

Another of the minuses is that the approach to the hatches cannot be blocked by hand luggage.

Seats located in front of the cabin

In addition, the first row is a great opportunity to be one of the first to go down the ladder.

Whoever flew near a child who does not tolerate the flight well and cries all 7 or 12 hours, he knows.

Seats in the tail

The only, but significant plus of this place is its relative safety. According to statistics National Council for more than 30 years, the number of surviving passengers of air crashes, depending on where their seats were in the cabin, is as follows:

The highest percentage of surviving passengers was in the tail section of the cabin (behind the edge of the wing of the aircraft) - 69%, the section above the wing - 56% of survivors, as well as in the economy section in front of the wing. In the forward section of the cabin, where business class and first class are usually located, the average survival rate was 49%.

Since when falling from high altitude, the plane falls nose first, then the clearances are the least grabbing tail section. This was the reason for the placement of the "black box" in the tail section of the aircraft, and this also led to the opinion that here the most safe places.
In my opinion, this is more of a psychology of self-hypnosis (IMHO - to survive in a crashed plane from a height, there is no chance wherever the passenger is sitting), but there are pluses here too: as a rule, on not very popular flights, there are much fewer passengers that will interfere with you. The same applies to passengers with children - they, as a rule, you will not meet here, unless it is a charter somewhere to places of mass Russian tourism in high season.

But the greatest number of accidents occur, often, during takeoff / landing, as a result of errors by pilots or airport employees, due to poor coverage and condition runway or other factors. In this case, you can be saved. Think about where the plane will hit first when landing or taking off? It seems to me that most likely the nose, respectively, the main blow will fall on the front seats, which will slightly extinguish the impact force, then the blow will fall on the middle of the cabin and on the wings, from which fuel will flow out and ignite. The shock wave will reach the rear seats with the least power, which will allow passengers to survive.
Thus, the rear seats are the safest in the cabin, since the plane takes the main blow on the nose, but again it all depends on the situation.
central places in an aircraft, as a rule, are located above the wing or close to it, in which the aviation fuel, which, in the event of a plane crash, ignites. Therefore, the most dangerous places are seats in the middle of the aircraft cabin. If we compare the front seats and the middle ones in terms of safety, then the number of deaths in the front seats and in the middle ones is approximately equal.

From the point of view of the safe side - left or right, the statistics give equal chances, the probability of the lateral roll of the aircraft in one direction or another during landing is the same.

So, basically, write on the Internet. Honestly, it's hard for me to judge, but in my opinion, if you are primarily concerned about your safety, then it is better to choose a place near the emergency exit. This, in most cases, is still safer, although less convenient.
Imagine a situation that there was a plane crash, the plane was partially damaged, everyone is alive, but the plane started on fire and the cabin is filled with black poisonous smoke, inhaling which you can die. What will happen? That's right, most likely, panic, and now think about who will be the first to leave the plane? And the first to leave it is the one who sits in places closer to the emergency exits, which means that they will have more chances to escape.

For the same reason, people whose seats are closer to the aisle are in a better position during accidents
You can find out which seat will be near the emergency exit in a particular aircraft from the seating diagrams.

As far as safety is concerned, but as far as comfort is concerned...

It is believed that The most comfortable seat on the plane is the penultimate row, on the right side of the aisle. The fact is that it is at the end of the cabin that there is the highest probability of free / empty seats, and therefore it is quite realistic that you will get a lot of free space, sitting on three chairs at once: you can get free seats to the right and left of you, on which you can arrange not only your bags, but generally lie down and sleep

Why is it necessary to take seats on the right? Because the sale of air tickets is carried out strictly in rows (with the exception of those cases when the passenger asks for a certain seat himself), rows A, B, C go first, which are located on the left side, so the likelihood of a large number of people there is higher.

After them come the right rows, D, E, F, which are usually empty when the aircraft is not fully loaded (this is important !!!). Well, it is clear that if the download is complete, then all the above recommendations will be meaningless.

Safety is also an important advantage, because it is no secret to anyone that there is simply no more secure place than the tail of an aircraft. And the kitchen can be located close to these places (not always), and all your orders will be delivered as quickly as possible.

Why choose a seat near the aisle? In order for a smaller number of people to show a desire to settle down with you in the neighborhood. If you sit near the window, then nothing will prevent other passengers from sitting next to you, and then all the comfort will come to naught.

But when you sit at the aisle and place your bags on the next seat, then such a spectacle will be subconsciously perceived by other passengers as a barrier, so the number of people who want to be accommodated in the neighborhood will be minimal.

More the best option it will be right after landing to get a pillow and a blanket, and lie down to sleep on two or three chairs at once, in which case it is unlikely that anyone will disturb you so that you move away and let him sit down in the same row.

First row / Row in front of which there are no seats

Of the minuses, we note that most likely there will be a partition or a kitchen / toilet in front of you. It is not very convenient for some passengers to look at the “wall” for the entire flight. Also, there may be fastenings for cradles in the wall. What it is fraught with - read above.

Last row/Row with no seats

Most likely, the backs of the seats in this row do not recline or are very limited in this. This happens when there is an emergency exit, toilet, kitchen, other technical room or wall behind you.

Summarize

In addition to the fact that the seats are 2,3,4 in a row, it is necessary to take into account the distance between the seats, the number of classes in the cabin, and other features. After all, the same company uses for the flight different types aircraft.

1. The model of the liner, the smallest details of the comfort of the cabins (the presence of a TV, electrical outlets, the spacing between the rows, the location of the toilets) can be easily found on the airline's website.

2. If you specifically know what kind of seat you would like to get, you should ask this question when checking in for a flight at the airport (seats that are not occupied after online check-in are distributed there).

If you have no idea about the location of the seats, ask to see the layout of the cabin of the liner - all free seats will be highlighted in the appropriate color.

Also, when checking in at the airport, you can simply ask for seats "by the window", "by the aisle", etc. Usually the staff does not refuse.

3. In modern airport you can use the services of self-registration kiosks and choose your seat. Also, almost always this can be done when registering online on the website of the airline you have chosen - this will significantly save time.

This service is already provided by the largest Russian airlines.

The traditional way check-in is best done two hours before departure. If places are booked in this way, the first registrants have a wide choice of available places.

4. If possible, you should use less busy flights - in this case, the comfort of the flight will increase significantly, because you (if you wish) will even have the opportunity to sleep on three free seats, the main thing is not to forget to ask the stewardess to bring a pillow and a blanket.

Busiest days are Sunday and Friday with morning and evening flights. If you have time, choose to fly on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday, noon or afternoon flights.

5. In order not to get into trouble, you should take into account the spelling of the letters indicating the number of the place - they can be either Russian (1A, 1B, 1C, 1G, 1D, 1E) or Latin (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E , 1F), and in certain situations, these are, as they say, two big differences, capable of overshadowing the impression of the flight.

After all, for example, place 1 "B" - will have different arrangement, meaning both an aisle chair and in the middle of a row. This must be taken into account in order not to get from place 1B (which you thought was at the aisle) to the place in the middle (as it turned out that this is not the Russian "B", but the Latin "Bi").
Also, be careful with the letter "E".

Therefore, it is better to choose seats with single-digit letters: 1A is always a window seat, 1C - in any cabin layout it will be an aisle seat.

Advice. If you fly often, then you know the main strain of everyone (who does not fly in business class;) is to sit in the middle seat in a row of three seats. Knowing and understanding this phobia, you can turn it to your advantage and less often have a neighbor next to you during the flight.

When you check-in, if you are flying alone, ask the staff to seat you in seats near the window and on the aisle. Nobody likes to sit in the middle and if the plane is not packed to capacity, then you will not have an unwanted neighbor. If you're flying alone, you can arrange this maneuver with another person you like who, like you, travels solo. Or just ask to be seated in the aisle where the window seat is full.

The only problem here is that with a clogged plane, you will be separated by a stranger. It remains only to agree with him so that he moves.

6. Be sure to take into account the direction of flight - with the right choice of place, the sun will not blind your eyes: East - West (the sun always shines on the left), West - East (on the right).

If there is a need to fly on a morning flight, the direction North - South will please the sun on the left side, and South - North - on the right.

How not to accidentally take the worst places

• Study the scheme of the liner on which you will fly, if possible
• Check with an airline representative if possible.
• Before the flight, decide what is more important for you - to look out the window or the ability to freely get up from your seat, for example, to the toilet
• Studying the interior scheme, select best places, guided by the same rules that we have given in this article
• Do not take places in the very tail, close to the toilets, galley and other technical rooms.
• Do not take seats in which the seats do not recline or are limited in this
• Do not take a seat between emergency exits or behind which it is located

If, nevertheless, you "got" on an uncomfortable chair

And it’s better not to be shy and change seats on your own, and not wait for the services of a flight attendant.

After the last person appears on board, and the stewardess announces “Boarding is over”, you have 5 minutes to take a comfortable free seat.

There is little time, because after the aircraft has reached the required speed, it will be strictly forbidden to rise from the passenger seat. Well, after climbing, it is likely that all the most comfortable seats on the plane will be occupied by faster and smarter passengers. Yes, and don't worry about it. You will always have time to sit in your rightful (according to the ticket) seat.

But still it is better to choose the maximum comfortable place immediately when buying an air ticket and checking in for a flight.

All of the above tips are also suitable for standard passenger, narrow-body aircraft like Airbus A-319 and 320, Boeing-737, SSJ-100, Yak-40, etc., and for wide-body airliners. In addition, there are many more options to take a comfortable passenger seat.

I hope that these simple tips will help you fly comfortably without unnecessary nervous stress.

Choosing a seat on an airplane is a complex and responsible process. The flight itself is tiring, even if it is a short distance, so it is very important to get a seat with a high level of comfort. Having studied the scheme of places, their location, a person will find the best option for himself.

Service classes

Aircraft scheme

The seats are arranged according to a certain pattern. Knowing it, you can find the most attractive option for yourself.

ABC-DEF notation

Every traveler needs to know that:

• A And F- window seat
• B And E- in the middle;
• C And D- by the passage.

Row numbering

Numbering in progress from the nose of the plane. The row number is indicated by a number. For example, if the ticket says "4A", then this is the fourth row, a window seat. At the beginning of the cabin, seats are considered the most comfortable, they are usually offered to passengers with.

How many seats are on a passenger plane?

The maximum number of seats depends on the aircraft model. There are planes that can carry an unthinkable number of passengers. The leader is Airbus A380, which is capable of accommodating the most a large number of passengers and fly with 852 passengers on board. The aircraft was built in 2005. Great Britain, France, Italy took part in the production.

The second place in terms of passenger capacity is occupied by Airbus A340-600. It flies when there are just under 700 passengers on board. The seats are of the highest class. They are made of expensive materials, are comfortable, soft and quite wide.

There is plenty of space between the seats so passengers can take in the most comfortable position. The presented aircraft have three rows of seats, each with four to five seats.

Passengers in the Airbus A340-600 are located on two decks. There are enough seats in a spacious plane for everyone.

There is also standard number of seats. Often in planes from 250 to 350 seats. If the direction is not international, the number of seats can reach 150-200. It is impossible to name the exact number of seats, because it all depends on the model of the aircraft.

seating arrangement

In order for the flight to bring only positive emotions, you need to take care in advance about choosing a place.

What are the most convenient places?

Most comfortable places are window seats. You can look out the window and enjoy the beauties of the planet, or read a book, because this is the brightest place. The text will be illuminated in the best way. Moreover, no one will squeeze past the passenger at the window in search of their place.

Some travelers are crazy about places in the middle. They have both pluses and minuses. The main advantage is that you can look out the window, because the distance to it is very small, and on the other hand, going to the toilet is much easier than a person at the window. The last passenger will be hurt by people passing by, and the person in the middle will be able to avoid this.

However, there is not much space in this case and the traveler may feel squeezed.

Seats in the tail

The main plus of the seats in the tail of the aircraft is this. If you believe the statistics, the passengers who survived the accident flew in the back of the liner. They make up 67% of total number survivors.

If the flight is "not loaded", then the seats in the tail are usually empty. In this case, passengers can sleep on three seats at once, enjoy peace and comfort.

In the near future

Just a few years ago, standing room might have seemed like something of a surprise, but now more and more manufacturing companies are thinking about creation such seats. Every year there are more and more passengers. Standing could be a better option for short haul flights. Such seats are less comfortable, but more affordable.

Standing seats do not currently exist on aircraft, but they will become a reality in the near future. Airbus has already presented aircraft structure with these seats. In the near future, standing places will appear in the liners. Domestic aircraft are not equipped with such seats. However, this is one of the developments of the future.

Also in you will find useful information about what to do if the ears are blocked on the plane.

Some places that you think are the best may well deliver discomfort in flight.

Avoid whenever possible

The following places should be avoided:

1. Over the wing— Passengers will not be able to see the bewitching landscape;
2. Seats in a row in front of the emergency exit— chairs at such seats do not recline;
3. Places next to the toilet Passengers will constantly pass by. The flight will make a person nervous. Sleep is unlikely.

Sit at the porthole, but be aware!

This location is preferred by most travelers. This is a great chance to admire the planet from a bird's eye view. However, it must be remembered that there is one significant drawback of such a place: go out it will be quite difficult.

We'll have to disturb the passengers in the middle and on the edge. This will make them nervous.

Get, drinks too very uncomfortable. A person will make a lot of effort to stretch out his hands and get the dishes. Otherwise, you will again have to disturb the neighbors and ask them for help in transferring drinks and food.

How to find your place?

Some rules will help the passenger to quickly find the right seat:

But on the other hand, the distribution of food begins precisely from the bow.

These places are best suited for those whose body is sensitive to "chatter" or is simply afraid of flying. Here the shaking is felt the least. And besides, it is near the wings that there are no portholes - there will be nowhere to look and be afraid of heights.

And finally, the tail section.

There is less space between the seats - the plane is already on its own. This is where the toilet is located. And here the loudest roar of engines is heard. But for those who are not sensitive to the noise level, it will be quite comfortable here - passengers primarily occupy the nose and middle of the cabin. So there won't be many companions. And one more indisputable plus - turns and turns in the tail are almost not felt.

And also decide where it will be more comfortable for you to sit: near the aisle or at the porthole.

The first option is preferable if you cannot sit in one place for a long time. You can walk around the salon and not disturb your neighbor. The porthole is quieter, and no one will disturb you. Yes, you can admire sky-high heights.
