The Airbus A321 is the largest member of the Airbus narrow-body aircraft lineup. Airbus narrow-body aircraft are grouped into the so-called "A320 Family", which also includes the A318, A319, A320 and the A321 itself. Recall that narrow-body aircraft are called aircraft in which there is only one longitudinal passage between the seats in the middle of the cabin.

The length of the A321 is 44.51 meters, with a full load, the flight range is 5950 km.

This model provides the lowest cost of a 1 km flight per passenger among narrow-body aircraft, in other words, due to low fuel consumption and large passenger capacity, a 1 km flight on the A321 costs one passenger less than on other narrow-body aircraft. The A321 is equipped with new wingtips, which Airbus calls Sharklets. We talked about them in detail in a previous article about the Airbus A320 aircraft. We only note that the new endings improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing, reducing fuel consumption and increasing the flight range.

Since 2015, it is planned to introduce new engine versions for the A320 Family. Using the new engines together with the wingtips will reduce fuel consumption by up to 15 percent and increase the flight range by an additional 900 km or payload by 2 tons.

In a two-class configuration, the A321 aircraft can accommodate 185, and in a single-class cabin, up to 220 passengers. With the new A321neo, Airbus plans to increase passenger capacity through optimized use of the aircraft cabin. New changes in the layout will increase the number of passenger seats to 240, while still maintaining comfortable seats with a width of 18 inches.

A321, like A320, has 4 doors (two on each side of the fuselage, in the nose and tail sections) and 4 emergency hatches (two on each side of the fuselage, in the middle part). But unlike the A320, the A321's escape hatches are not located side by side, but spaced a long distance away.

Seat plan for Airbus A321 Aeroflot

Business Class.

As you can see in the Aeroflot A321 cabin diagram, the first 7 rows are reserved for business class. There are 4 comfortable chairs in each row - two chairs on each side of the aisle. Although the A321 is a narrow-body aircraft, the cabin design allows for fairly wide seats.

Of the business class seats, special attention should be paid to the first row. Its peculiarity is that there is a partition directly in front of the first row, for some it is a plus, for some it is a minus. You just need to take into account that by choosing the first row you will have to admire the wall for the entire flight. But on the other hand, no one there will recline the back of the chair for you. The first row is a little closer to the toilet, but not so much that it caused some inconvenience.

The last row of the business class also has its own characteristics. Firstly, it is close to the noisier economy class, and secondly, there is a partition directly behind the last row of business class, and your seat may not recline fully.

Economy class

As you can see in the diagram, in the Aeroflot A321 cabin, toilets are located in three places: in the bow for business class, in the middle of the cabin and in the tail for economy class.

8th row. This is the first row of the economy class. The seats in this row are called superior seats and are among the best on the Airbus A321. They are located right after the escape hatches, due to which there is quite a lot of legroom in front of the 8th row seats. You will not interfere with a neighbor (or he you) when you want to get up. A slight disadvantage of these chairs is that the armrests are fixed, as folding tables are mounted in them. This feature is also found in other seats, which are located at a distance from the front row.

However, there are restrictions - passengers with children or pets, as well as passengers with disabilities and elderly passengers are usually not allowed to sit in this row. Also, you can not put hand luggage at your feet, so as not to block the path to the emergency exit.

The two extreme places of the 8th row (A and F in the diagram) are also distinguished by the fact that due to the proximity to the emergency exit, it can be a little cold there, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe legs. However, you can always ask the flight attendants for a blanket.

9 - 17 rows. Seats in these rows are common. There are no special features. There is a general rule here - the closer to the nose of the aircraft, the earlier food and drinks are served and the richer the assortment will be. The closer to the end of the compartment, the closer to the toilet with all the ensuing consequences.

18th row. Close proximity to the toilet naturally has its drawbacks - queues for the restroom, possible smells, door sounds and water drains. In addition, behind the 18th row there is a wall of the toilet, which does not allow you to recline the back of the seats.

19th row. This is the first row of the second compartment of the economy class. As can be seen on the layout of Aeroflot's A321 cabin, these seats are located near the second pair of emergency hatches. There are only 4 seats in this row, there are no extreme places so as not to interfere with evacuation in case of an emergency. Of course, the advantage of this row is that there is a lot of legroom in front of the seats, but this advantage is easily leveled by proximity to the toilets. The same restrictions apply to the 19th row as to the 8th.

20th row. Locations A and F are very good. There is a lot of free space in front of you, you can safely get up from your seat, stretch your legs. These places are also places of increased comfort. The 4 remaining places of the 20th row are regular places.

21 - 30 rows. These are regular seats, the same as the seats in rows 9-17. There are no special features. The 30th row is close to the toilet, and seats C and D, which are directly at the aisle, are also inconvenient because a queue to the toilet may form next to you.

31st row. This is the last row, it has serious flaws. Not only the proximity to the toilet can spoil your mood, but also the fact that the backs in this row do not recline at all, since there is a wall immediately behind them.

Seat plan for Airbus A321 of S7 airline

The business class in the A321 S7 aircraft has only 2 rows, that is, 8 seats. There is a wall in front of the first row, and the seats in this row have the same characteristics as the seats in the first row of business class A321 of Aeroflot.

There is plenty of legroom in front of the second row. This business class row is preferable, however, you also need to consider that it is close to the noisy economy class.

Economy class.

3rd row. As you can see in the A321 S7 cabin map, this row is located directly behind the partition that separates economy class from business class. The disadvantage of this series is that there is a wall directly in front of you, and you will have to rest your eyes on it for the entire flight. But on the other hand, no one will lean back their seat on you, and your knees will not rest on the seat in front of the seated passenger. There is enough space in front of you, but you will not be able to stretch your legs.

Among the shortcomings, it can also be noted that the folding tables are built into the armrests, which is why they become motionless.

The big advantage of the front rows of economy class is that food and drinks on the plane are served from the nose. This means that passengers sitting in the front rows will have a greater choice of food and drinks, and they will receive meals earlier.

We do not yet have detailed information on the location of the seats near the escape hatches, so we will try to give general information and recommendations based on the layout of the A321 S7 cabin.

Places near emergency hatches. The seats that are located in front of the emergency exit have a drawback - usually the backs of the seats do not recline or recline to a limited extent. The seats that are located after the emergency exit are the luxury seats, as the distance to the front row is quite large, and there is a lot of legroom. You can stretch your legs calmly, get up from your seat without disturbing your neighbor. A slight disadvantage is that the armrests of the chairs are fixed, as the pull-out table is built into the armrests. There are also restrictions for these seats - you can not put hand luggage at your feet, passengers with children or pets, people with disabilities or the elderly cannot sit in these seats. In the chairs located directly it is a bit cold near the escape hatch during the flight, but you can ask the flight attendants for a blanket.

Places near the toilet. Please note that, unlike the Aeroflot Airbus A321, the S7 has toilets only in the nose for business class and in the tail for economy class, that is, there are no toilets in the middle of the cabin. This means that by choosing any seat, except for the seats in the last row, you do not risk flying in the vicinity of the toilet. The last, 35th row is in the immediate vicinity of the toilet with all the ensuing consequences. The flight may be accompanied by the sounds of doors, water drains, smells. Also, in the aisle near you, a queue to the toilet may form. In this sense, two seats in the 34th row on either side of the aisle are also undesirable.

All other places are normal. When choosing a seat, you also need to take into account the rule - the closer to the nose of the aircraft, the faster the food is served, and the richer the assortment of food and drinks.

Seat plan in Airbus A321 of Ural Airlines

There are no business class seats in the cabin of the A321 aircraft of Ural Airlines, as you can see in the diagram, all 220 seats belong to the economy class. A feature of the cabin layout of this airline is that the toilets are located only in the bow and tail, that is, unlike Aeroflot, there are no toilets in the middle of the aircraft.

1st row. The first row has both advantages and disadvantages. Firstly, it is close to the kitchen and to the toilet. In addition, usually in such places someone constantly comes, someone leaves, queues for the toilet, and so on. This means that during the flight you will be accompanied by sounds, noise and bustle coming from there.

The disadvantage of the first row is the wall located directly in front of you. Although for some this is even an advantage, because there are no other passengers in front of you, no one will throw back the back of their chair on you, no one bothers you. There is much more knee room than if there were chairs in front of you, which is also an advantage. But on the other hand, the whole flight to look at this wall is probably not very pleasant either, it gives the impression of a closed space. Also note that the folding tables are built into the armrests, which is why the armrests cannot be raised.

2-9 rows. These are ordinary places, they do not have any special features. However, you need to remember that food and drinks on board the aircraft are served from the bow, so the farther you sit from the bow, the later you will receive meals, and the less assortment will be.

10th row. Seats in this row have a disadvantage. The 10th row is located directly in front of the emergency hatches, which is why the backs of the seats do not recline or recline not completely, so as not to block the path to the emergency exit.

11th row. As you can see in the Ural Airlines A321 cabin diagram, there are only 4 seats in this row, that is, there are no two extreme seats so as not to interfere with the emergency exit. These are some of the best places on the plane. Their advantage is that you have more legroom in front of you. You can calmly stretch your legs, get up from your seat without disturbing anyone. If you are traveling together, then you are building to take a closer look at these places, because there is no third chair, but there is also no porthole. Since the distance to the front row is large, the folding tables here are located not in the backs of the front seats, but in the armrests, which is why they do not rise. In these places there are the same restrictions as in the 8th row of the A321 of Aeroflot.

12th row. Extreme places (at the porthole) in this row are very good. There are no seats in front, plenty of space. Very comfortably.

13-24 rows. Seats in these rows are normal.

25th row. The seats in this row are the same as in the 10th row.

26th row. The seats in this row repeat the characteristics of the 11th row, but here all 6 seats are present. However, seats A and F in this row may be slightly slanted due to the proximity to the emergency exit, and one armrest may also be missing. In addition, due to the proximity to the hatches, it can be a little cold here. However, you can ask the flight attendants for a blanket.

27-36 rows. The seats in these rows are ordinary, of course, the closer to the end of the cabin and, accordingly, to the toilets, the worse.

37-38 rows. These are the worst seats on this plane. The proximity to the toilet does not bode well. The flight will be accompanied by the sounds of doors, water draining, possibly smells, etc. And the seats near the aisle in these rows are also bad in that a queue to the restroom may form near you. Of the seats in these rows, seats E and F of the 37th row are more preferable, which do not border the toilet and are not located near the aisle.

Seat map for Airbus A321 Nordwind Airlines

There is no business class.

1st row. The 1st row repeats the characteristics of the 1st row of A321 Uralavia.

2-10 rows. These are common places. However, the seat backs F of the 9th row and the entire 10th row do not recline or recline to a limited extent. This is done for safety reasons, as there are emergency hatches immediately after the 10th row. Despite this, note that there are only two seats to the right of the aisle in the 10th row. If you are traveling as a couple, then these places could be a good choice. But the porthole, of course, is missing.

11th row. These are places of increased comfort, they are located behind the emergency exit. These seats repeat the advantages and disadvantages of the seats of the 8th row of the A321 of the Aeroflot layout, which can be read about above.

12-24 rows. These are common places. 23-24 rows repeat the characteristics of 9-10 rows.

The cabin of an A321 Nordwind airline.

25 row. Seats of superior comfort, they repeat the advantages and disadvantages of the 11th row.

26-36 rows. Here are the usual places. The aisle seats in the 36th row have a drawback - people who want to get to the toilet will accumulate near you.

37 row. Worst seats on this plane. This is the last row, the seats are located right next to the toilets, with all the ensuing consequences, which can be read about above.

The Airbus A321 is a medium-haul, twin-engine airliner developed by the united European concern Airbus S.A.S, the sole shareholder of which today is the European Aerospace and Defense Concern (EDSA).

The Airbus A321 is part of the A320 family of narrow-body passenger aircraft designed for medium-haul airlines. This model is the "largest" in its family - the A321 is almost seven meters longer than the original model, the A320, which allows the aircraft to carry 24 percent more passengers. The Airbus A321 has six passenger doors and eight emergency exits located on two sides of the aircraft. It also has a more reinforced chassis. The flight radius, when fully loaded, is the same as that of the youngest member of the family - the Airbus A318.

The aircraft was not only lengthened compared to the base model. The changes also affected the engines, the power of which was increased. The wing of the aircraft was reinforced and designed for higher loads compared to the wing of the A320. Airbus A321 performance in terms of noise, emissions and fuel consumption is almost the same as that of the entire A320 series. The aircraft is equipped with EFIS avionics and a fly-by-wire digital control system, completely identical to the A320 aircraft.

The Airbus A321 development program was launched in 1989, with the main goal of competing with the American Boeing 737-900ER. The first flight took place on March 11, 1993. Commissioned in early 1994. Assembled at a facility located at the small German airport Hamburg-Finkenwerder.

Today, the A321 aircraft is in demand among air carriers and orders for its construction continue to arrive.

Location and numbering of seats in the cabin, seating diagram in the Airbus A321 aircraft. The best and least comfortable seats on the plane

Interior scheme, lAirbus A321 Aeroflot

Seats from 1st and 7th row considered slightly worse. There is a partition in front of the first row, there is enough space, but the proximity to the toilets can be a little disturbing. And seats in row 7 are close to the noisier economy class.
Seats in row 8- places of increased comfort economy class. Since the emergency exit is located in front of them, there is a lot of free legroom. You can get up from any place in this row without disturbing your neighbors. The seats are at the front of the cabin, so you have a lot of choice when choosing meals (usually food and drinks start serving from the beginning to the end).
18th row seats- standard economy class seats. But the location near the toilets makes them not very comfortable.
Seats in row 19 located behind the emergency exit. Just like in row 8, there is a lot of free legroom, but toilets are located nearby, which makes the flight not very comfortable.
20 row convenient enough. The chairs are comfortable and located near the windows. There is a lot of free space, so there is where to stretch your legs and you can get up without disturbing the neighbors.
Seats in row 30, C and D- Proximity to toilets can be inconvenient.
31 row (last)- the worst places. The backs of the chairs do not recline, as there is a wall immediately behind them. The proximity of the toilet can make the flight uncomfortable due to the frequent movement of passengers and the slamming of doors.

The best seats in the Airbus A321 business class cabin

The best business class seats from 2 to 6 rows. Here, the seats are arranged in a 2:2 layout, which increases the space between rows and seats.
The best economy class seats on the Airbus A321

The best seats for the economy class of the Airbus A321 are located in the 8th row. They are such because of their location - in front of these places there is only a partition separating business and economy classes, which means that there is more than enough legroom here. Also one of the best are the places located in row 20(according to the diagram) and marked with letters A and F. This is due to the lack of seats in front of them, which provides more legroom.

The safest on the Airbus A321

It is believed that in the Airbus A321, seats No. 19B, No. 19E, No. 8A and No. 8F are the safest, as they are located near the emergency exits.

Interior scheme, lbetter and less comfortable seats on an airplane Airbus A321 airlines "Nord Wind" (Northern wind)

1 row has pros and cons. On the one hand, no one will recline the back of their chair on you, on the other hand, you will be in front of the partition for the entire flight. There will be enough space for the knees, but stretching the legs forward will not work much. Also, the location of technical rooms (on-board kitchen and toilet) nearby does not add convenience. However, there is a plus here - you will get food first.
9F and 23F row. The backs of the seats are not adjustable, as there is a partition immediately behind them.
10 and24 ABC. The seatbacks are not adjustable, as emergency hatches are located immediately behind this row.
10 and 24 DE. The backs of the seats are also locked, however, the advantage is that in this section there are 2, not 3 chairs. It is always convenient, especially if you are flying together.
The most convenient places are rows 11 and 25. They are located immediately after the emergency exits, because of this, the distance to the row in front is increased. Consequently, not only will you be able to recline your chair, stretch your legs forward in comfort, but you can also easily leave your seat with minimal disturbance to your neighbors. However, certain categories of passengers cannot be accommodated in these places: with small children and animals, disabled people, elderly passengers. Also, you can not clutter up the approaches to the emergency doors, all your hand luggage will have to be placed on the shelves. This is related to flight safety technology.
36 row, places C and D. Near these places, small queues to the toilet can accumulate.
37 row(last). The backs of the chairs rest against the wall of the toilet, so they are not adjustable. Also on this row, all the sounds of the toilet (draining the tank, slamming doors) are clearly audible - these are the most uncomfortable, worst places on board.

Interior scheme, lbetter and less comfortable seats on an airplane Airbus A321 airlines « Ural Airlines »

First row located close enough to the wall of the toilets, the kitchen and to the partition. You will have to sit the whole flight looking at the wall, and this is not very comfortable. Also, these places are quite noisy due to the kitchen and the close location of the toilet. But there is plenty of knee room in this row, and there are guarantees that no one will recline their seat back on you.
10 row. The seats in this row do not recline, as the seats are located in front of the first emergency exit.
11 row located after the emergency exit and there is enough space in front. Thus, you can get up from your seats without disturbing your neighbors, with the convenience of stretching your legs. Also, a plus is that there are two chairs in a row, not three. The disadvantage of these places is that the folding tables are placed in the armrests and they do not move, there is no porthole, you cannot place hand luggage on the floor and in the aisle. Also, for reasons of flight safety, it is forbidden for passengers with children and animals, with disabilities, and the elderly to be in these places.
12 row A and F. Sufficiently comfortable places. They have additional legroom, as there is no chair in front.
25 row. The seatbacks do not recline. But there are two seats in a row, not three. This is a good advantage.
26 row. Not bad seats, since there is legroom, you can get up from your seat without disturbing anyone. Cons are the same as in row 11. Seats at the portholes A and F may be slightly beveled and missing one of the armrests.
37 row, place D. Comfortable, but located near the toilets.
37 row places A, B, C and 38 row. The most uncomfortable places. All the same disadvantages as the penultimate row, in addition, the backs of the seats can rest against the walls of the toilets and not recline.

Aircraft cabin layout

The cabin of the Airbus A319 provides accommodation for 144 economy class passengers in 24 rows.

The best seats are located in the first and 11th rows. The tenth row is not the most comfortable due to the proximity of emergency exits and the inability to recline the backs of the seats, the 24th due to the proximity of the toilets. With children it is better to sit in the front row.

The cabin of the Airbus A320 provides accommodation for eight business class passengers in two rows and 150 economy class passengers in 25 rows.

The best seats are business class. In economy class, the most comfortable seats on the plane are the third and 11th rows. The ninth and tenth rows are not the most convenient due to the proximity of emergency exits, the 27th due to the proximity of the toilets. With children it is better to sit on the third row.

The cabin of the Airbus A320neo aircraft provides accommodation for eight business class passengers in two rows and 156 economy class passengers in 26 rows.

The location of the seats of this type of aircraft is almost the same as the Airbus A320, with the exception of the increased number of rows - 28 instead of 27.

The cabin of the Airbus A321 aircraft provides accommodation for eight business class passengers in two rows and 189 economy class passengers in 33 rows.

The best seats on this aircraft are business class. In the economy class, the most comfortable seats are the third row - it is for this row that you buy extra-comfort economy class tickets. The ninth, tenth, 22nd and 23rd rows are located near the emergency exits - not the most convenient places due to the inability to recline the seat backs. In the ninth row there are no seats A and F, in the 22nd row there is no seat F, in the 21st and 22nd rows there are no seats A, B, C. Accordingly, the legroom for passengers of the tenth and 23rd rows has been increased. The 35th row is not the best due to the proximity of the toilets. With children it is better to sit on the third row.

Boeing 737-800 aircraft of S7 Airlines are used in the Winglets modification (with new wingtips). The cabin provides accommodation for eight business class passengers in two rows and 168 economy class passengers in 28 rows.

The most convenient seats are placed in the business class, among the seats of the economy class - the third and 14th row. The 12th, 13th rows are not the most convenient due to the proximity of emergency hatches, the 30th - due to the proximity of the toilets. With children it is better to sit on the third row.

Note! Flight safety rules do not allow passengers with children, animals, the disabled and the elderly to occupy seats near emergency exits. Hand luggage must be stowed in the upper compartment above the seats.

The Embraer ERJ-170 has 78 economy class seats in 20 rows.

Placement of emergency hatches in the cabin is not provided. Almost all places are the same. The most convenient seats are the first (seats C, D) and the second (seats A, B) rows. The 20th row is not the best for flying due to the proximity of the toilets.

Passenger amenities

The operating passenger planes of the airline are equipped with sockets for charging mobile devices and other gadgets. Passengers are also provided with meals and drinks (depending on the selected fare). There is no Wi-Fi on board.

Thus, S7 Airlines offers its passengers comfortable flights to many countries in Europe and Asia in comfortable aircraft of several types, with the opportunity to choose both economy and business class seats. The company regularly updates its aircraft fleet, replacing old models with new ones and increasing the number of aircraft in general.

On the Airbus A321 cabin diagram, such places are: 11th row - all, 12th row - A, F, 26th row - all.
