Boeing 767 300 scheme worst places. Planes Azur Air: location of seats
The operation of the Boeing 767-300 began in 1986. This wide-body, long-haul aircraft immediately became popular. It was developed as an extended version of the Boeing 767-200. The liner was created for flights over long and short distances.
Designers, designing the aircraft, provided for an improved supply of fuel to the engines. At the same time, the efficiency of aircraft control was improved. Significantly reduced engine noise. Composite materials were used in the construction.
The cabin provides a wider space located between the seats. This has significantly increased the level of comfort. The width of the cabin is one and a half meters greater than that of the Boeing 747. With a standard cabin, the number of passengers is 224 people. But there is also an option used for charter flights. It provides for the transportation of 325 passengers.
Large Russian airlines use this spacious aircraft on various routes where it is required to deliver a large number of passengers. There are such Boeings in the companies "Russia", "Siberia", "Utair" and a number of others.
The best and worst seats in the cabin
The vast majority of these liners have a two-class cabin layout. At the same time, there are only 30 seats in the business class, and 185 seats in the economy class.
Business class is located in the nose of the aircraft. Here best places are in the front row, A and B. In addition to the comfort that is provided in this class, they provide quite enough legroom for passengers. In addition, these places are far from the premises that perform a technical function.
Other seats in the first row have some drawbacks when compared with the rest of the seats in this class. At the same time, they stand out in better side when compared to any economy class seats.
The worst seats in business class are those in the fifth row. The reason is that there is a toilet nearby.
Seats located in the economy class do not provide passengers with an increased level of comfort. But there are better ones here too. worst places. So, passengers in the 11th row are in somewhat uncomfortable conditions. The fact is that there is a toilet nearby. This means that there are almost always standing in line or other passengers are just passing by. The sound of doors being closed is heard regularly.
Another minus for the passengers of this row is a blank partition in front of them. Because of it, it is impossible to stretch the legs, which passengers in other rows can do. There is only one plus in the 11th row - there are no seats in front. This means that the seat back folded down by the front passenger will not interfere.
The 25th row, located near the emergency exit, has places that are notable for inconvenience. The backs of the seats here either do not recline at all, or recline by a small amount.
Seats in the 27th row have the same advantages as the seats in the 11th row. The disadvantages are the same.
Places in the 38th row are recognized as bad. This is the last row. It is located in the tail section of the aircraft. Armchairs located in it often have restrictions in the angle on which their backs recline. In addition, technical rooms are located nearby.
In all rows, seats located in certain places have both advantages and disadvantages. So, passengers sitting at the windows can admire the pictures that open in front of them. Of course, if the flight takes place at night, then this plus disappears. It is also convenient that you do not need to get up to let a passenger who needs to get off. However, getting up from this chair yourself is a little uncomfortable.
Seats next to the aisle allow passengers to get up at any time when they need it. At the same time, you don’t have to ask anyone to let you through. However, getting up yourself to let someone through is still not a very convenient thing. In addition, other passengers and flight attendants pass along the aisle, which somewhat interfere with such passengers.
In the Russian air UTair Boeing 767-300 has a cabin, the layout of which has only an economy class. Armchairs in rows are arranged according to the scheme 2 - 4 - 2. That is, 2 chairs at the sides and 4 in the central part. This aircraft carries 336 passengers.
As always, seats in the 1st row are considered the best. The reasons are the same as with the usual arrangement of seats. The disadvantage here is also common - there is a kitchen and a toilet nearby.
Seats in the 2nd row, bordering the aisle, are somewhat uncomfortable. Other passengers or flight attendants appear in the aisles, which can hurt those sitting.
The partition behind the backs of the 11th row seats does not make it possible to recline the backs by a large amount. The second negative is that there are toilets nearby. The last minus applies to the 12th row.
Seats in the 14th row can be attributed to comfortable. There is no 13th row in front of them, so there is a lot of legroom. However, the chairs are located directly in front of the entrance to the toilet.
The next 15th row has the same drawback as the 14th. Besides extra bed no legs here. So this series belongs to the category of the worst.
Rows 16 and 17 are also not comfortable. The reason is that the toilet is very close. Also, there's a lot of noise here.
Passengers in the 31st row experience inconvenience. The backs of their chairs recline a very small amount. The reason is that there is an emergency exit behind. Another minus - it is impossible to look out the windows.
The best places are in the 32nd and 33rd rows. There is an emergency exit in front of them. Enough legroom. Cons - the seats located at the sides of the aircraft may not have armrests. Another minus is that tickets for these seats are not sold to pregnant women, the disabled, the elderly, passengers with children.
In row 44, the seats bordering the aisles have standard flaws. Lines for the toilets can accumulate here. Passengers and flight attendants moving along the aisles just interfere a little.
Almost the analogue of the 15th row is 46. There are only minuses here. It is located opposite the entrance to the toilets.
Advantages of an airliner
The Boeing 767-300 received the greatest popularity on long-distance routes. Economy played a significant role in this. His fuel costs turned out to be 20 and even 30 percent less than those of his predecessors. A wide-body aircraft can carry from 218 people (business class and economy class) to 350 people in one economy class in one flight. Moreover, its crew consists of only 2 people.
An aircraft at a cruising speed of 851 kilometers per hour can fly 7,900 kilometers. Its 767-300 ER version is capable of flying 11,065 kilometers. At the same time, all passengers, even with the option of an economy class cabin only, will be in conditions that are not inferior to those that exist on other liners used on routes of a similar length.

Conclusion
After the crisis in air travel that arose in 2001, demand for the Boeing 767-300 declined. However, the company started design work to create the next model. This is a Boeing 787. Orders for it have already been placed, with full production all problems have not yet been resolved.
A wide-body aircraft that has taken its niche in the market passenger traffic, for the time that has passed since the crisis, continues to hold its positions. Moreover, he is gradually mastering new routes, proving that both he and his future successor have a future.

Boeing 767-300ER is a wide-body long-haul airliner. Boeing 767-300 modification with increased flight range. Long flight range is achieved by increasing the amount of fuel on board by increasing the maximum takeoff weight up to 185 tons. By 1993, work on improving the design of the aircraft made it possible to raise the MVM to 187 tons.
The aircraft uses the digital avionics complex EFIS manufactured by the American company Rockwell-Collins, which has six color multifunctional displays. A similar complex is used on Boeing 757 aircraft. Options power plant included CF6-80C2B2 and PW4000 engines.
The Austrian airline Lauda Air became the launch customer for the Pratt 8c Whitney variant in April 1987. Airline « british airways"- the first to acquire a variant with more powerful Rolls-Royce RB211-524G / H (variant certified in December 1989).
The first plane took off on November 9, 1986, but Boeing received its first orders for the car only in March 1987 from American Airlines. Deliveries of the aircraft began in February 1988.
Typical routes for this modification were Los Angeles - Frankfurt, Moscow - Beijing, etc.
The extended range and passenger capacity variant of the Boeing 767-300ER has become the most popular in the Boeing 767 family. As of March 2014, 582 aircraft of this modification have been delivered. The main competitor of this modification is the Airbus A330-200.

Salon scheme, the best and the least comfortable places on a Boeing 767-300ER
5 row These are business class seats, very comfortable. modern business, comfortable chairs, which are laid out almost up to 180 degrees. There are 17.1 inch monitors on the wall. Exquisite menu to choose from.
21 row- This is the first row of the economy class. The advantage of these places is that there are no passengers in front and no one will recline the back of their chair on you. Of the small minuses: in front of the entire length of the flight there is a wall. But it has mounts for baby cradles, so it's convenient for parents.
26 row C,D,E and 27 row. The backs of the seats in these rows have a limitation in reclining, as they rest against the partitions and the kitchen wall. It is not always convenient to be in an upright position.
The distance between the rows in the economy class is about 83 cm.
28 row. There are no passengers in front, so no one will recline their seat, but throughout the flight there will be a wall in front of their eyes. There are toilets nearby, which can cause some inconvenience due to the frequent movement of people.
33 row A,B,G,H and 34 row C, D, E,F. After changing the interior, the seat backs recline, the seats are comfortable.
34 row A and H. There's extra legroom, but there may be no armrest on the hatch side.
34 row B, G and 35 row C, D, E, F - the most convenient places. There is plenty of leg room in front of them. Toilets and other technical facilities are remote from the places.
Seats in the last row of the economy class. The backs can be fixed. And also proximity to toilets can make the flight uncomfortable. Register for these rows as a last resort.
Be careful, on almost all aircraft of this type there is a slight difference in row numbering. The extreme numbers are different from the middle ones. If you follow these tips, you can find a seat in any aircraft configuration.
Flight performance
- Maximum speed: 910 km/h
- Cruise speed: 850 km/h

IN aircraft park UTair has only one Boeing 767-300. This is board number: VQ-BSY. The liner made its first flight in May 1997. Before being acquired by UTair, it was operated by the following companies: Azur Air, Air Astana and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Azur Air now has 5 Boeing 767-300 aircraft with an identical cabin layout.
The layout of the cabin is single-class (only economy), the seats in the rows are located in the arrangement: 2 - 4 - 2 (two seats at the edges and four in the middle). A little tight, but maximum capacity aircraft is 336 passengers. This is 60 passengers more than Transaero will intervene.
The liner scheme is posted on the official website and is located at: link.
Let's try to figure out the best and worst places in UTair's Boeing 767-300.
Row 1. The first row of the salon. The seats in the nose of the aircraft are traditionally considered one of the most comfortable, especially when it comes to the front rows. In this case, we get extra legroom, as there is no front row. And since the distance between the rows in the economy class is small, every extra centimeter can affect the comfort of the flight.But there is one significant drawback - there is a toilet and a kitchen nearby. This means that the entire flight here will be cross-country, the constant movement of flight attendants with food and water. There may be unpleasant odors.
Row 2 Seats B, C, F, G are extreme to the aisle, so here you can regularly be hit by elbows and carts with food (a few meters remain to the toilet and kitchen). By the way, this applies to the same places in the first row.
Row 11. Armchairs rest against a partition, therefore they are limited in reclining. You will have to endure the entire flight in one position of the seat. Not very comfortable places. In addition, there are toilets nearby, which guarantees extra fuss.
Row 12. The backs of the chairs here, although they fold out freely, are very close to the toilet.
Row 14. Due to the lack of row 13, additional legroom appears here. We can say that there is a lot of it. But we cannot consider these places convenient, since the row is located near the toilet, or to be more precise, right in front of the entrance to the toilet. If you are ready to endure the whole flight of slamming doors and smells, you can stay here.
Row 15. It has the disadvantages of the 14th row, but does not have its advantages. That is, there is no such important additional legroom. Therefore, these places can be considered one of the most uncomfortable.
Row 16 and 17. They also cannot be considered comfortable, since they are located next to the toilets, which means that it will be noisier here than in other parts of the cabin.
Row 31. The backs of the chair are limited in reclining due to the presence emergency exit behind the row. You will have to fly the entire flight in one seat position. Also, there may be problems with the view through the windows.
Row 32, 33. The most comfortable places in this liner. The rows are near the emergency exit, so there is extra legroom. In addition, no one will bother you with a reclined chair (at the 31st row, the backs do not recline, since for safety reasons it is forbidden to block the emergency exit).
However, there are also downsides. Firstly, such places are booked primarily because of their convenience. Secondly, for safety reasons, the aisles cannot be laid with hand luggage. So, you have to put everything on the upper shelves. Thirdly, seats A and H may not have armrests on the side of the aircraft wall. Finally, fourthly, according to the same safety precautions, it is forbidden to sit here for pregnant women, passengers with small children and animals, as well as the elderly and the disabled.
Row 44 seats B, C, F, G have the disadvantages of row number 2, that is, they are on the way to the toilets.
Row 45. Seats A, B, G, H- the backs of the seats are limited in reclining due to the partition from the toilet. In addition, it is very noisy here and the sounds of the cistern can be heard throughout the flight. Perhaps this is one of the most uncomfortable places in this cabin layout.
Row 46. It is located opposite the entrances to the toilets. This is actually an analogue of the 15th row, with all its disadvantages. Seats in this row are not recommended for booking.
Nord Wind Company ( Nordwind Airlines or " North wind”) owns 8 Boeing 767-300 aircraft. However, only three aircraft can be found on the company's flights. The remaining 5 liners are leased to a partner company (Pegas Fly).
They fly beyond the North Wind next boards: VQ-BPT, VQ-BMQ and VP-BDI. Aircraft are quite old, they worked for a number of airlines in America and Europe:
- The VQ-BPT made its first flight in July 1995. Managed to fly for airlines: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Zoom Airlines, ILFC and Flyglobespan.
- The VQ-BMQ made its first flight in March 1996. Managed to fly for the airlines: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and North American Airlines.
- The VQ-BPT made its first flight in April 2000. Managed to fly for airlines: Air 2000, GECAS, Aeroflot - Russian Airlines.
On the company's website, you can see two options for the layout of the cabin: for 290 seats and for 300 seats. Both layout options are two-class (business and economy classes). The 290-seat version has 39 rows, while the 300-seat version has 43 rows. The layout of the seats can be viewed at this link.
In our review, we will analyze in detail the scheme for 290 seats.
Row 1 and 2.
The only two rows of business class. There are 12 such places in total. For obvious reasons, these are the best places on the liner. The distance between the seats is 127 cm.
The distance between the rows of seats in the economy class is 74 cm. It turns out a little cramped.
Row 17. Bad places. The chairs rest against the wall from the toilet, which means that the backrest is limited in reclining. Also, people are constantly crowding near the chair, waiting in line for the toilet. From the fact that the WC door is constantly opened, there will definitely be smells from the toilet.
Row 18. Quite conflicting places. On the one hand, there is no front row (due to the emergency exit), so there is plenty of legroom. On the other hand, there are toilets ahead, which is not good.
Row 19. The distance to the front row is slightly more than the standard, which means that there is where to stretch your legs. The only thing is that the row is quite noisy, due to the proximity of the toilets.
Row 38. Very similar to row 16. Located close to toilets. There is always a lot of movement here, so the flight will not be calm.
Row 39. One of the worst seats in the cabin. They have all the shortcomings of the 17th row. In addition to this, it is always colder in the tail of the aircraft, and if the air conditioner does not work well, it is also stuffy. Not recommended for bookings for people in poor health.
Transaero Airlines operates 16 Boeing 767-300 aircraft. Perhaps this is the most diverse Boeing model from this company in terms of layout. Salon plans have the following side numbers: ei-dbf,ei-dbg,ei-dbu,ei-dfs,ei-rux,ei-ruw,ei-ruv,ei-ruu,ei-ruy,ei-ruz,ei-unb, ei-una, ei -und, ei-unc, ei-une, ei-unf. There are layouts for 276 seats, 226 seats, 275 seats, 236 seats, 218 seats, 241 seats, 255 seats and 265 seats.
Only four models: ei-una, ei-unf, ei-unb and ei-und have the same layout with 276 seats. We will consider the scheme of such a salon below. The age of these aircraft is taken from the site www.planespotters.net:
- The ei-una made its first flight in January 1993;
- The ei-unf made its first flight in January 1992;
- The ei-unb made its first flight in April 1994;
- The ei-und made its first flight in May 1992.
The cabin of the liner is divided into three classes: business, economy and tourist. The difference between the first and second is significant, but between the second and third - it is practically not noticeable. The main difference here is the distance between the seats. In the economy class, it is 83 cm, in the tourist class - 76 cm (on average).
We will analyze the cabin layout in more detail and try to identify the best and worst places in this Boeing model.
1 row. The very first rows are traditionally given over to the business class. In this aircraft, it is more than high-quality (although some call it premium). The chair unfolds at an angle of 180 degrees - it will be very comfortable to read a book and sleep. The seats are very wide and fully electric. There are 6 such seats in total. Due to the fact that business class is more expensive, seats are rarely filled to 100%. You may even end up flying alone in business class.
10 row. Economy class starts from this row. These are very convenient places for a family flight with small children, as there are attachments for baby cradles. Due to the lack of a row in front of you, no one will recline the chair. There is extra legroom. The only thing that is inconvenient is the presence of a partition in front of the eyes throughout the flight. For some, this can be uncomfortable. You also need to be prepared to be next to passengers with children, which means that it will potentially be noisier here.
16 row, places C, D, E, as well as the entire 17 row. Places are marked as not the most comfortable for flying. There are two main reasons. The first reason is that due to the presence of a partition separating the salon from the kitchen, the chairs are limited in overturning. Flight in the "vertical" position is guaranteed. The second reason is that chairs are on the way to the kitchen and toilet. As you can imagine, these are not the most peaceful places.
18 row. Quite conflicting places. For one, there's no front row and plenty of extra legroom. On the other hand, there are toilets nearby, which guarantees fuss and noise throughout the flight. Note that these seats do not come with bassinet mounts and are therefore not suitable for flying with small children.
23 row. Places are marked as not comfortable. There are no toilets, which is a plus. It will be quieter. But because of the emergency exit, the chairs do not recline back. It is not advisable for passengers with children and the elderly to sit in such places (and it is forbidden, for safety reasons).
24 row. good places for the flight. There is legroom, there are no toilets nearby, it is more peaceful here. Passengers with children are not allowed to sit here. Only here in places "A" and "H" there are no armrests from the side of the hatch, and the door sticks out a little. We also note that in such places (near the emergency exit) it is forbidden to fold hand luggage in the aisle - all things strictly fit into the closet from above.
Row 44 and 45- the most undesirable places to fly. The backs of the seats do not recline, there is a lot of fuss and extra noise due to the constant going to the toilet of other passengers. For fans of a quiet flight, it is better to choose another seat.
