Locations of seats on the plane 767 300. How to choose and book comfortable seats on Azur air planes

The Boeing 767-300 is one of the most popular and safest wide-body aircraft of the Boeing Company, which willingly operates most of the world's air carriers, including in Russia.

The Boeing 767-300, designed as an extended version of the 767-200, made its first flight in 1982. Since then, more than a thousand airliners of this modification have been produced. Thanks to technical specifications, impressive flight range, reliability of the Boeing (B) 767-300 (the cabin layout also indicates a convenient seating arrangement), this aircraft continues to be successfully produced even now, despite the emergence of new families of these airliners.

Azur Co.

Azur Air is a solid representative of domestic air carriers. The company has been known under this name since 2015. Until the end of 2014, it was called "Kateavia" and specialized in flights to the Volga region and Siberia. Along with the rebranding, the scale and direction of the company's flights has changed.

Today the main activity Azur Air- flights to the resorts of Spain, Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Dominican Republic, Vietnam, India. At the same time, the company's aircraft make many domestic flights. "Azur Air" is constantly developing and improving the quality of service. In 2016, it was recognized as the best among charter carriers.

Boeing 767-300: interior layout

Azur air by 2017 has air fleet out of 20 aircraft. Thanks to this, in the first half of 2017, it came in fourth place in Russia in terms of the number of passengers carried.

Among these aircraft, eight are the cabin layout of which, with advice on choosing seats, we suggest that you consider further.

The aircraft, depending on the layout, has up to 336 economy class seats. In other trim levels, the business class has been removed, so, under generally equal conditions, the seats differ only in nuances. But the company introduced a special concept - Azur Space - for places with increased comfort with more legroom. These places are more expensive, in addition, disabled people, children and pregnant women cannot fly to them.

What seats are preferable to choose on the Boeing 767-300? The layout of the cabin clearly shows that all the seats are divided into three rows: two side rows of two seats and a central one, in which there are four seats at once. For comfort a large number passengers in the cabin there are seven toilets:

• four - in the tail;
• two - in the center of the aircraft;
• one is in the bow.

It is the arrangement of chairs and toilets that determines the convenience of the place.

Most convenient places Azur Space. On them, passengers can comfortably arrange their legs in the increased space in front of the seat, which is especially important for tall people and for long flights:

• row number 1 - entirely;
• row number 14 - places in the middle (C, D, E);
• rows No. 16 and 33 - places on the sides (A, B, G, H);
• row number 32 - seats in the middle (C, D, E, F).

All double seats on the sides of the cabin are convenient for traveling together. It is pleasant and easy to fly with a loved one: there will be no argument with him because of the porthole, it is easier to disturb him, you can have conversations with him or be comfortably silent, he will not bother you with idle questions, you can put your head on his shoulder.

But there are obviously bad seats in the Boeing 767-300. Scheme salon Azur air should definitely be considered, as it will help to avoid them beforehand. The worst row is considered to be the last row in the tail. It is located near the toilet, it has a limited backrest, people are constantly walking around, talking, slamming the toilet door and turning the flight into a grueling ordeal.

Slightly more comfortable, but still uncomfortable, two middle seats (D, E) in the center row. People sit on both sides of the passenger, they have to be disturbed when going to the toilet, in addition, there is nothing to really lean on.

Pegasus Fly Co.

A small domestic Fly" is based in Krasnoyarsk, with branches in Khabarovsk and Moscow. For a long time it was engaged in domestic transportation, but since 2013 it began to organize charters to popular Russian resorts in Thailand, the Dominican Republic, the Maldives, Vietnam, Seychelles. The fleet consists of 8 airliners, among which 5 are Boeing 767-300.

Scheme of the salon "Pegasus Fly"

Unlike aircraft Azur air, a business class is provided in Pegasus airliners. Prices in it, of course, are higher, but the level of service and comfort significantly exceeds the possibilities of the economy class in the Boeing 767-300. The layout of the Pegasus Fly salon is presented below.

The first two rows of the business class stand apart, they contain 12 seats, which, when unfolded, turn into beds. In addition, the passenger has a lot of legroom, a varied menu, quick service, pillows, blankets.

The main question is: what are the best seats to take in the Boeing 767-300 economy class? The layout of the cabin indicates the special convenience of rows No. 3 and No. 19, where more space for legs than in others. For those who fly together, especially with a child, it is better to choose twin seats on the sides of the aircraft. Firstly, strangers will not disturb, and secondly, you can entertain yourself with landscapes passing through the windows of the Boeing 767-300 porthole.

The layout of the cabin is a good tool when choosing a place. For example, it is enough to study it for a couple of minutes to understand that in Pegasus Fly airliners it is better to avoid buying tickets for the rows that are in the middle of the cabin or next to the toilets, where there are crowded and noisy.

Azur Air was founded in 2015, part of its shares is owned by Anex Group. Until 2015, the airline was called "Katekavia" it carried out its flights in the Siberian and Volga regions. Currently, this company specializes in charter flights to different countries And popular resorts. In June 2017, the airline operated about 38 flights from various cities Russia.

In just six months at the beginning of 2017, Azur Air was able to win a place of honor in terms of the number of passengers who used the services of this company. But back in 2016, it won the title of the best charter carrier in Russian Federation and received the Wings of Russia award. Azur Air constantly monitors its flights and monitors the precise fulfillment of the duties of employees, not only in the performance of their duties, but also makes sure that they strictly follow the schedule. Thanks to this control, the company was able to win second place as the most punctual airline in Russia.

In this article we want to tell you about the Boeing 767-300. Azur Air has 8 such aircraft in its fleet. The Boeing 767-300 is a wide-body long-haul airliner. The liner began to be produced in the 80s. Despite its age, this airliner is still popular and in demand among airlines. At one time, the Boeing 767 was the first commercial aircraft with a digital display and a fully electronic cockpit.

Main differences this aircraft in that it is very roomy, can cover long flight distances and at the same time it does not require expensive maintenance. The airliner is perfect for long-haul flights with a high flow of passengers.

Features Boeing 767-300

The length of the aircraft is 54.9 meters. In this case, the wingspan is 47.6 meters. The engine brand is Rolls Royce RB211-524, it allows the aircraft to develop a maximum speed of 913 kilometers per hour, the speed full aircraft is 825 kilometers per hour. Boeing 767-300 is capable of flying 11 thousand kilometers, and on board it can accommodate from 180 to 375 passengers. The crew of the aircraft consists of only two people. The first tests were carried out back in 1981, and in 1982 the 767-300 entered production.

Boeing 767-300 has three rows seats, there are two passages between them. In a single-class seat layout, a 2+4+2 layout is used. The entire salon is divided into three zones. The company also has seats that are calculated at a different rate. Such seats are usually the very first in each cabin area, and they are also considered the most comfortable on the plane, as they have more free space in front than other rows.

Above you can see the scheme of the Boeing 767-300 aircraft, on it you can see in more detail the cabin of the aircraft and the places in it. by the most comfortable places rows 1, 14, 16, 32 and 33 are considered. But only those places that are in front of the rest of the seats. And the rest of the places, as a rule, are no different from others. Due to the fact that the places are very different, we decided to tell you about the salon areas. There are three of them in total, and it is precisely from the choice of a part of the cabin that your comfort in the future flight will depend.

The nose of the aircraft

There are 12 rows in this part, the first row can be attributed to places with increased comfort, but the price for them is higher than for other places. In total, 91 passengers can be accommodated in the first part. The bow is always preferred over the rest, and there are a number of reasons for this.

• Firstly. This zone is the smallest in comparison with others, therefore, it is quieter and calmer in it than in other parts of the cabin.
• Secondly. The exit from the cabin is much closer and due to this you will not have to wait long for your turn to exit after the plane has landed.
• Third. You don't hear the engine running as much as it is located at a decent distance from your seats.
• Fourth. The kitchen is located in the first part of the cabin, therefore, you will be served faster than other passengers.
• And fifthly. In the nose of the aircraft you can see a great view from the window.

But there are a few bad seats in the cabin, when checking in, avoid seats in row 11 and 12, as they are located closest to the toilet stalls. Because of this, some places cannot recline their seats, and there will always be a queue for the toilet next to you.

The middle part of the plane

In the middle of the aircraft are rows 14 to 31. In total, they can accommodate 134 passengers. The 14th row is more comfortable than all the others, but they ask for a certain surcharge for it, and this row also has limitations:

• Pregnant women should not be placed on them.
• Disabled people also cannot occupy these seats.
• Also, children under the age of majority cannot be placed in these places.
• Must also be fluent in English or Russian

This part of the cabin has a big minus. Almost the entire middle part of the cabin is located between the wings, and because of this, the view from the windows is very limited.

The tail section of the aircraft

There are 111 seats here, and this part of the aircraft is considered less comfortable than all the others. If you chose seats in the tail section of the cabin, then you should prepare for a lot of noise from the engine, since it is closest to you and if the plane gets into a turbulence zone, tail section will shake harder than the rest of the plane, which can be very frightening.

Also the most worst places in this part of the aircraft, the last rows are considered, since they are also located near the toilet cubicles. You have already read about the inconvenience of these places in the nose of the aircraft.

The Boeing 767-300 model is present in the product line of the largest manufacturer of civil and military aircraft Boeing. This is a wide-body airliner designed for long-distance routes, more often than other aircraft found on transatlantic flights.

Story

In 1972, some time after entering the line wide-body aircraft under the index 747, the Boeing company has launched the design process for the next model under the code name 7X7. The original idea for a short-haul passenger aircraft increased capacity with a short takeoff did not arouse the interest of potential customers, and the developer switched to the creation of a transcontinental liner. After working through several layout options, the designers chose a scheme reminiscent of the European Airbus A-300. During these years, aviation technology has reached an incredibly high level. Powerful and economical aircraft engines of a new generation, composite structural materials appeared, new trends in aerodynamics were established. Improved fuel efficiency. All this was applied on Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft, which had unified cockpits, called glass cockpits. Such technologies meant the presence of displays instead of arrow indicators of instruments, the reduction of the crew to two people, the replacement of the navigator with the FMS flight control system. Computer modeling has been widely used.

The release of the aircraft model 767 was planned at the plant "Everett". The main model at first was the Boeing 767-200, its production started on 07/14/1978.

After a series of test flights and tests of several samples with different engines, the company certified the liner. Deliveries began in October 1982.

Specifications

The Boeing 767-300 and 767-300 ER modifications that appeared in 1983 caused big interest at the airlines. Having made the very first flight on January 30, 1986 (development began in 1984), the Boeing 767 - 300 aircraft, the scheme of which resembles the famous Airbus A-320, entered commercial exploitation 10/20/1986. The first customer and owner was famous airline Japan Airlines.

"Boeing 767-300", whose cabin scheme allows you to take on board a large number of passengers and deliver them from one continent to another, was produced in the amount of 104 pieces. Statistically, this pattern crossed Atlantic Ocean more often than all other aircraft combined.

The Boeing 767-300 became a modification of the earlier version, the Boeing 767-200, extended by 6.43 meters. In addition to inserting two additional sections, the company carried out other improvements: the liner had a reinforced fuselage and landing gear. Gradually, this version was improved, received the English Rolls-Royce RB 211 engines. The scope of the aircraft is the long routes of Europe and Asia, where its high reputation was greatly facilitated by 20-30% lower fuel costs compared to previous aircraft.

Having a wide cabin, the Boeing 767-300 is able to take on board from 218 passengers (up to a maximum of 350 people) with a crew of 2 people. The aircraft was assigned the ICAO code B763. With an aircraft length of 54.9 m and a wingspan of 47.6 m, the cabin width is from 4.72 to 5.03 m. Takeoff weight- 159.2 tons; the weight of the empty liner is 90.1 tons, the cruising speed reaches 851 km / h. At this speed, the flight range is 7900 km (in the 767-300 ER version - 11065 km). The power plant is represented by 2 General Electric CF6-80C2-84F turbofan engines (their thrust is 2 x 26260 kg / s), there are options with Rolls-Royce RB 211 engines.

Wings in 2010 received new endings called winglets.

Required length runway under standard conditions, the ISA when the apparatus is at sea level is 2300 m.

Passenger compartment

The Boeing 767-300 aircraft, whose cabin layout is a combination of two longitudinal aisles and several rows of seats distributed according to the 2 + 3 + 2 system (economy class), is designed for flights for many hours. Therefore, the cabin has several spacious compartments for hand luggage, an increased number of bathrooms, comfortable lighting, and excellent sound insulation. Aircraft seats of many airlines are equipped with multimedia systems.

Liner operation

There were practically no problems with the commissioning of the model. For example, for the entire first year of using the airliner, 96.1% of aircraft took off and landed without delays for technical reasons. The cost-effectiveness and comfort of the liners perfectly met the requirements of the airlines. After changes in flight safety regulations (ETOPS), which allowed twin-engine aircraft to fly on routes where the distance from the nearest airfield emergency landing should not exceed 120 minutes of flight time (previously this value was 90 minutes), sales of the Boeing 767-300 have increased. The car was used especially intensively on transatlantic lines.

The described aircraft, like other modifications of this model, is popular among Russian airlines, the possibility of delivering a large number of passengers on charter flights is especially appreciated.

Conclusion

But the air travel crisis after 2001 led to a drop in demand for the Boeing 767-300. In 2003, the company began designing a successor, codenamed 7E7, later given the name "Boeing 787 Dreamliner" (dream plane or dream plane). A lot of orders have been received, we are talking about a record number, but so far there are problems with the deployment of production and sales.

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.

Austrian airline " Lauda Air became the launch customer for the Pratt 8c Whitney engine 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.

Location and numbering of seats in the cabin, seating diagram in the Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. The best and least comfortable seats on the plane

Cabin layout, best and least comfortable seats on the Boeing 767-300ER

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

• Max speed: 910 km/h
• Cruising speed: 850 km/h
• Flight range: 11000 km
• Liner capacity: economy class - 328 passengers, economy / business - 269 passengers, economy / business / first class - 218 passengers

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 even here there are better and worse 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 Russian airline UTair Boeing 767-300 has a cabin, the layout of which is only 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 behind emergency exit. 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.
