Airbus a320 wing. The best seats and layout of the Airbus A320 S7 Airlines cabin

Since commissioning A320 absolutely surpassed all others civil aircraft in terms of the use of high technologies - both in aerodynamics and in the field of on-board equipment.

History of creation

After ten years of discussions, in which almost all aircraft manufacturers in Europe took part, the consortium Airbus Industry in 1981, he began to implement a project for a 150-seat airliner for short and medium routes.

At that time, aircraft with a large
passenger capacity, so two cars for 154 and 172 seats were taken into development. These were two models. A320-100 And A320-200, but in 1984 such a project was abandoned in favor of one 162-seat car. The new project provided for two versions of the aircraft, differing only in the capacity of fuel tanks and the designation A320-100 And A320-200 remained relevant.

First flight A320

For the first time, a new aircraft was taken into the air on February 22, 1987, under the name A320-100, only 21 aircraft were produced in a series of such airliners. Second option A320-200 became the main representative of the liners A320, the airworthiness certificate for this model was issued in November 1988. This aircraft is different from A320-100 increased maximum takeoff weight, wingtips with deltoid winglets and an additional fuel tank of 8016 liters in the center section.

Consortium Airbus is constantly working on the modernization of its liners, a program has been launched New Engine Options equipment A320 new economical power plants. Pratt & Whitney engines PW1000G according to the company's management, operating costs will be reduced by 20%, and the airliner itself will receive improved aerodynamics and a new design passenger compartment.
Russian Transaero company signed a firm contract for the purchase of 8 units A320neo which began to enter service in 2015.

Design features of the A320 airliner

In its own way aerodynamic scheme A320- This is a monoplane with a low swept wing, under which engines are placed on both sides and a single-keel tail.

The wing of the airliner is thin with high aerodynamic efficiency, all mechanization is made of composite materials, keel and leading edge of the stabilizer are also made of composite. Side winglets at the wingtips save fuel and reduce induced drag.

Airbus A320 - flying throughout Europe

Powerplants since 1989 have been equipped with the quietest and most powerful V2500 engines in their class. Engines A320 in takeoff mode give a noise level of not more than 82 decibels. The aircraft landing gear is tricycle, each bogie has two wheels. The main racks are retracted in flight into the center section, the nose - into the front of the fuselage.

A distinctive feature of the aircraft is the electric remote control. In the cockpit of the commander on the left side, the co-pilot on the right side has two sidesticks that replace the conventional steering wheel. The sidesticks do not have a direct connection with the control surfaces, any deviation is calculated by the computer and the signal from it instructs the hydraulic drive to deflect the rudders.

These side control knobs made room for folding tables pilots and improved the visibility of six color LCD displays, two directly in front of the pilots and two in the center of the dashboard. The displays give pilots all the information about the navigation situation, work power plants and other equipment of the liner.

Passenger cabin A320 made very spacious, the shelves for hand luggage have a large volume, on the lower deck there is a lot of space for cargo and wide hatches for loading luggage. The cabin is lined with modern panels, a touchscreen display on the Flight Attendant Panel, LED lighting for each passenger seat and the ability to change the brightness of the entire cabin from 0 to 100%.

Features of choosing the best places

Flying in an airplane is still very tiring and depends on the right place and A320 gives you the opportunity to spend time in the air calmly and comfortably. The rules for choosing seats are the usual, on the booklet, which you can buy at the ticket office, there is a layout of seats in the passenger cabin.

The choice of seat depends on your taste, there is only one feature - the chairs next to the toilet and in the tail are the most uncomfortable and restless. If you want to rest and sleep in flight - choose a chair near the bulkhead, if you like the view from the porthole - please look at the ground or admire the view of the clouds.
Aeroflot calls best places in the cabin A320 the following: in the fourth row - A, B, E, F and in the eleventh - B, C, D, E.

In the cabin A320 the first five rows are considered business class, the seats in these rows can be reclined far without creating inconvenience for passengers in adjacent rows. There are seats for baby cots in business class, but no special place for leg placement.

The economy class is separated by a partition, the distance between the seats is less than in the business class, but the backrest can be reclined to its full extent without interference. Armchairs in front of the partition have their inconveniences, if you do not grab literature for reading, you will have to look at the wall all the time, but service begins from this row.

a320 - saloon

Due to the proximity of the toilet, the seats in the twenty-fourth row are the most restless; children and people of the age are not recommended to purchase seats in the tenth and ninth rows. The location of the fourth and eleventh row seats near the escape hatch makes them the safest. In the passenger compartment, a tall person is not comfortable enough due to technical features aircraft, but despite all these errors, “ Airbus-320» is considered convenient enough for this class. Have a good flight!

Airlines with a high level of service are trying to make air travel most comfortable. However, flying is still quite a tedious thing. Therefore, it is so important to choose the right seats in the cabin. One of the most popular aircraft currently used to carry passengers on long distance, - "Airbus 320". The layout of the cabin for both models (320-100 and 320-200) looks about the same. Only the second model is currently in operation. For technical reasons, the developers abandoned the first one. But first things first.

History of creation

Narrow-body aircraft for short and medium haul airlines. Airbus began development of the A320 following the success of the A300. The main features of the novelty were the digital cockpit and EDSU (remote control system). Instead of mechanical instruments in front of the eyes of the pilots, already in 1988, all flight data was displayed on a cathode-ray screen. The second innovation is the use of sidesticks instead of steering wheels. These side handles were directly connected to the aircraft's control apparatus. Any movement on the sidesticks was instantly processed by on-board computers and put into action. The high level of automation made it possible to limit the number of crew to two pilots. For the same reason, this model is actively exploited by Aeroflot.

The Airbus 320, whose cabin layout is presented below, has a liner length of 37.59 m, a height of eleven meters, maximum width- thirty-four meters. With a maximum load of one and a half hundred people, an airliner can cover a distance of six thousand kilometers. The difference in modifications affected the number seats. The two-class model is designed for 150 passengers, and the one-class model for one hundred and eighty.

Airbus 320 aircraft: updated cabin layout

The A320 has a number of advantages compared to other airliners: large hand luggage shelves in a spacious cabin, wide hatches for loading luggage and a large cargo deck. In the early 2000s, the cladding panels in the cabin were changed, FAPs were made with touch screens, the volume of hand luggage shelves increased by eleven percent, LED individual lighting appeared and the ability to adjust the brightness of the cabin. In addition, computer logistics has been updated, cathode-ray screens have been replaced with LCD displays. For these reasons, and also because of the relatively low cost, the airbus is very popular in the world.

Production

Parts from various factories are shipped to Toulouse for the final assembly of the A320. In 2007, German managers achieved the transfer of production to Germany. Productive capacity - forty-two units per month, in KRN - fifty aircraft per year. Some parts supplied with the A320 release allow Airbus Industrie to offset losses associated with A380 production. But the company incurs losses due to the difference in rates. Equipment is paid in dollars, and production is concentrated in the Eurozone. The successful model served as the basis for the development of the A321, A319 and A318.

Airbus 320: interior layout

Aeroflot names the best seats on the plane as follows: A, B, E, F in the fourth row and B, C, D, E in the eleventh. General rules seat selection - standard. Before buying a ticket, read the layout of the aircraft from the booklets that can be purchased at the ticket office. “Good” tickets sell out quickly, so it’s better to arrive early for registration. It is better not to purchase places in the tail, next to galleys and toilets. During the purchase, be guided by your taste: if you are going to sleep all the way, it is better to choose a place near the wall, and if you admire the clouds, then by the porthole. It's two different concepts. Read the booklets carefully.

The Airbus 320 200, the cabin layout of which is presented below, includes twenty-five rows of five or six seats each. The first five rows are reserved for business class. The distance between the rows in this model is quite limited. The first row has its own characteristics:

• business chairs have a large angle of inclination, you can safely recline the back without hitting anyone;
• passengers with small children rarely fly in business class, although the entire cabin is equipped with cradles for cradles;
• business class passengers will not have dedicated legroom.

Economy class features

The sixth row is located in front of the partition of the Airbus 320 liner. The interior diagram demonstrates this in detail. The seat pitch in economy class is even smaller. But passengers in a separate row do not have to worry that someone will throw their chair back on them. If you do not take magazines with you on the road, then you will have to admire the wall ahead all the time. Since this is the first row of the economy class, service begins with it.

The eighth row is close to the emergency exit. Therefore, the seat backs are very limited in movement. Passengers in the ninth row will face the same problem. Seats A and F can be chamfered. But, thanks to the large distance between the rows, passengers can comfortably sit with their legs stretched out. If one of the neighbors needs to go out, he can do it without disturbing you.

The first nine seats B and E do not have access to the porthole. They are located in the middle of the row. Passengers from seats C and D can quickly leave them at any time without disturbing their neighbors. But stewardesses with trolleys and other flight participants can get in the way when they move along the aisle in the Airbus 320 100 model.

The layout of the cabin is designed in such a way that the best economy class seats are in the tenth row: B, C, D and E. Passenger comfort is achieved by easily reclining seatbacks and large space for legs. But hand luggage will have to be placed under your feet, since there is no place for it under the chairs. Similar situation hinder access to escape hatches. It is better not to buy tickets for the ninth and tenth rows for passengers with children and the elderly. Most safe places in this plane are in the fourth and eleventh rows, as they are next to emergency exits.

Other interior features

The extreme places of the twenty-fourth row can be very inconvenient due to the close proximity to the toilet cubicles. It is worth preparing in advance for the constant accumulation of people at the chairs. The seats of the last, twenty-fifth, row are considered the most uncomfortable on the plane. Apart from the smell from the toilet, the constant movement, the sound of the cistern draining and the slamming of the cubicle doors, people sitting in the last row will not be able to recline the seat back.

In this aircraft, even the tallest passengers may feel uncomfortable. This is due not only to turbulence, but also to the technical nuances of the airliner. However, despite these shortcomings, the A320 is one of the most successful models in the world. More than four thousand cars have already been produced, seven more are being prepared for launch.

Development prospects

Although the A320 made its first flight a quarter of a century ago, the aircraft is constantly being upgraded. At the moment, the developers are working on installing new engines, which will save fuel by fifteen percent, as well as increase the flight range by 950 km or the payload by two tons. The Airbus 320, whose cabin layout is practically no different from its predecessor, received the prefix neo- (new engine options) in the name. According to the CEO of the company, the new equipment will reduce operating costs by 20%. preparing for release in 2016. And in just 15 years, Airbus plans to sell 4,000 units. Already collected 670 orders for a total of one thousand units. In Russia, the Transaero airline became the first customer.

Summary

The most comfortable aircraft for long flights today is the Airbus 320. The layout of the cabin, studied in detail before buying a ticket, allows you to decide on a comfortable place for the flight. Depend on this general impressions about the time spent on the plane. No. 4 (A, B, E, F) and No. 11 (B, C, D, E) are the safest places on the Airbus 320 liner. The scheme of the cabin "S7" demonstrates this in detail.

In 1981, Airbus Industrie began work on projects for two liners with a capacity of 154 and 172 seats. As a result, the Airbus A320 100 and Airbus A320 200 aircraft were developed. Initially, 21 airliners were launched into the sky.

Airbus A320

A few years later, the project was reduced to one model, but in two versions, the main differences concerned the volume of fuel tanks and the capacity of the passenger compartment (150 or 180 seats). Thus, both names have survived to this day.

The consortium pays close attention to both improving the technical capabilities of airbuses and meeting the needs of passengers. Today, Airbus A320 (100-200) is considered to be one of the leaders in air transportation.

The difference between the Airbus A320-100/200 is the variety of the latest developments:

• the use of composite materials made it possible to reduce the weight of the structure, while maintaining the necessary mechanical properties;
• the fly-by-wire control system replaced the steering wheels;
• additional fuel tanks (the main difference between the Airbus A320 200 and the A320-100).

Currently, Airbus also continues to modernize aircraft:

• Sharklets- the wingtips of an aircraft, which got their name because of the shape similar to a shark's fin. This design allows you to distribute the lifting forces of the aircraft as optimally as possible. The flight range when the aircraft is equipped with sharklets increases by 185 km, fuel consumption is reduced by 4%, and the carrying capacity is estimated at 450 kg;
• New Engine Options (Neo)- a program aimed at equipping the Airbus A320-100-200 with new economical power plants;
• Installation of video recorders in the cockpit— is currently under discussion and such an innovation. This measure is designed to increase the safety of passengers and crew;
• Salon design is also regularly updated in accordance with the needs of passengers and safety requirements.

The main characteristics of the Airbus A320 aircraft

• Length (m): 37.57;
• Height (m): 11;
• Width (m): 3.7;
• Wingspan (m): 34.1;
• Maximum takeoff weight(t): 77;
• Maximum speed km/h: 840;
• Capacity (persons): 150-180;
• Flight range (km): 6150;
• Fuel tanks (l): 30000;
• Fuel consumption (l/h): 2700;
• Emergency exits: 4;
• Main exits: 4.

The cabin design of the A320 is different special attention for the maximum comfort of both passengers and the entire crew:

• wide cabin;
• comfortable, thought out to the smallest detail seats for the Airbus A320 crew commander and co-pilot;
• increased cargo space makes it easier to load luggage.

Best Places

As you know, there are many models of the Airbus A320, the main ones are 320-100-200. Accordingly, the number of business and economy class rows and their numbering may not match. When choosing the most comfortable place, it is recommended to focus on the location of partitions, emergency exits and technical rooms. All necessary information easy to find on the aircraft cabin diagram:

• 1-5 rows. Business class, the name itself speaks for itself - these are the most comfortable places in airplane;
• 6 row. The first row of economy class: there are no displays, passengers have to look through the partition for the entire flight - in this case it is better to think over in advance than to occupy yourself during the flight. Cramped, there is no way to fully stretch the legs. As compensation, the passengers of these seats are the first to receive food and drinks;
• 9, 10, 11 rows. We are talking about the rows located at the emergency exits. Since there are several configurations of the Airbus 320, the location of the emergency exits may not match - the row must be specified at check-in. There is enough room to stretch your legs and relax, but the degree of reclining the seats is limited, or the chairs do not recline at all. In addition, the places at the emergency exit are characterized by a higher degree of ventilation, you may need a blanket;

Seats at the emergency exit are characterized by a higher degree of ventilation.

• 26 row. A toilet is located at the tail of the aircraft, which entails an almost continuous movement of people around the cabin. Of course, passengers will pass by the seats in this row most often;
• 27 row. The last row in the cabin. The backs of the seats in this row do not recline, in addition, there are inconveniences from a closely located toilet;
• Window seats. Here is the least likely that the neighbors will disturb, however, it will not work out unnoticed from such a place. On the other hand, there is the opportunity to enjoy the view of the clouds;
• Aisle seats. You can stretch your legs into the aisle, it's easier to get up if necessary. In addition, from such a place it is easier and faster to get to the exit when landing. However, there is a high probability of inconvenience from passing passengers and flight attendants;
• Places in the middle. Can't say it's bad or good places, it all depends on the neighbors;
• Seats at the tail of the aircraft. Considered the safest. Statistically, in air crashes Great chance rescue from the passengers sitting in the last rows.

Airbus A320 crashes

Aircraft A320 have been flying all over the world since 1987 and are not without reason considered not only the most comfortable, but also the most reliable. Statistically, most of The crashes occurred due to the human factor, or due to weather conditions, and not at all due to a malfunction of the Airbus itself. For all the years of operation, only 31 A320-200/100 aircraft crashed. Below is a list of the most famous plane crashes with Airbus A320.

Main settings

The Airbus A320 aircraft is one of the best narrow-body aircraft of all Airbus products. This company produces liners of high quality and comfort; Airbus aircraft are economical on routes of short and medium distances.

The Airbus A320 made its first flight in 1987 and immediately won recognition in the world civil aviation. This aircraft can carry from 150 to 180 people. In the first case, business class seats are 2 + 2, and in economy class - 3 + 3. To understand which seats on the plane are considered the best, you need to familiarize yourself with the seating chart of the cabin.

Aeroflot actively uses Airbuses in its fleet. The total number of these aircraft reaches 67 units. The location of the seats on the Airbus 320 aircraft will now be considered.

scheme Airbus cabin A320 has several variants. Each of them does not infringe on the comfort of passengers. The following options are available:

• quadruple (business class);
• five-seater;
• six-seater.

In the picture you can see the location of the seats and the width of the aisles.

As with all aircraft, business class seats are located at the head of the vessel. In the Airbus A320, this is row 1-5. The step between the rows is small, but this is enough to make passengers feel comfortable. It is worth noting some features of the first row:

• in front of the passenger on the wall there is a mount for a baby cradle;
• a passenger in the front row may not worry that the back of the seat in front of him will lean back;
• at the same time, there is no footrest on the front rows, as the passengers of the next rows have.

Seat numbering on Airbus A320 aircraft Aeroflot

We invite you to study the numbering of seats for passengers who are going to fly by Airbus A320, the cabin layout is also posted on the Internet.

There are both bad and best seats on the plane. Aeroflot provides seating charts for aircraft cabins in the Internet. There are also standard places, being on them, there are neither any advantages nor negative points.

The figure above shows a diagram of the Airbus A320 aircraft, Aeroflot allows you to choose if you wish suitable places on one's own.

Aeroflot business class cabin A 320

The best seats in the Airbus A320

The sixth, ninth (with comments), and also the tenth row are considered the best places on the plane. Concerning sixth row, then here you can not be afraid:

• backs folded down in front;
• you will get your food first, because it is from you that the distribution of food comes;
• there are attachments for cradles, it is convenient when flying with children.

Of the negative points, one can single out a limited space for outstretched legs; not everyone is comfortable looking all the way into a blank wall.

In the ninth row The backs, unfortunately, do not recline, but there is free legroom. You can easily skip your neighbors without getting up. Tenth row, seats A and F somewhat beveled due to the emergency exit, while the legs are larger than usual, the backrests also recline as standard.

The most comfortable and best seats on the Aeroflot a320 economy class aircraft are in the tenth row B, C, D, and E.

There is a lot of space for outstretched legs due to being close to the emergency exit, the seats recline calmly, the seats are not beveled, like A and F. There is only one limitation - you can’t put hand luggage at your feet. Only this moment is unlikely to upset passengers in these places.

Remember passengers with children, the elderly and people with handicapped they will not put them in rows 9 and 10, emergency exits must be released mobilely in emergency cases.

The Airbus A320 is a family of short to medium haul passenger commercial twin-engine aircraft manufactured by the European company Airbus Industrie. It consists of A318, A319, A320, A321 airliners, as well as ACJ (Airbus Corporate Jet) business class models. The A320 is sometimes referred to as the A320ceo (current engine option). The assembly of these models takes place at the company's factories in Toulouse (France) and Hamburg (Germany). The family of aircraft can carry up to 236 passengers and has a maximum range of 5,750 to 11,100 kilometers, depending on the model.

Aircraft modifications A320

During the production of the liner, several modifications appeared:

• A321. The model was the first derivative of the A320, released in 1988. The fuselage length was increased by 6.94 meters. The maximum takeoff weight has been increased by 9,600 kg to 83,000 kg. The first flight of one of the prototypes took place on March 11, 1993.
• A319. This is a shortened version of the model. In comparison, it has a 3.73 m shorter fuselage and a simplified wing. Has less weight. It is capable of transporting 124 people over a distance of 6,650 km (or 6,850 with the new Sharklets winglets. On April 23, 1995, the assembly of the first liner of this type began.
• A318. It is the shortest aircraft in the series. It can carry 107 passengers in a 2-class layout (maximum - 132) for a distance of up to 5,750 km. It made its first flight in July 2003. Can be used on short runways, as opposed to similarly sized aircraft.

In 2011, Airbus was introduced with special sharklets wingtips resembling a shark's fin, hence the name.

They are designed to improve the aerodynamics of the aircraft by increasing the effective wing aspect ratio and reducing the induced drag that is created by the vortex shedding from the end of the swept wing.

The A320 aircraft operates, depending on the modification, on CFM International CFM56 (A 320-21x series) or IAE V2500 (A 320-23x series) engines. With a typical two-class seating arrangement, it is capable of carrying up to 150 passengers over a distance of up to 6,100 kilometers

The first flight took place on February 22, 1987, since then 7,533 aircraft have been produced. The main competitor is the Boeing 737.

The interior layout options are as follows:

• Airbus A320-100
• Airbus A320-200

A total of 21 copies of the 100th series were manufactured and delivered to airline Air Inter.

Of the main changes in the 200 modification compared to the 100 series, it is worth highlighting the appearance of special Whitcomb washers on the side ends of the wings and the expansion fuel tank to increase the flight range of aircraft.

The passenger capacity of both options is the same - 150 seats, the classes differ only in flight range and load.

In the first half of 2003 Skytrax (UK) carried out a study to find out the preferences of passengers. As a result of the study, more than 69 thousand people were interviewed, who had to answer questions regarding various criteria (engine noise in the cabin, seat comfort and distance between rows). As a result, about 59% of respondents recognized the cabin of the Airbus 320 as the most comfortable. Another nominee at the same time - "Boeing-737" - scored a little over 25% of the vote.

Different places in the cabin have their pros and cons. Many people prefer to choose seats near the windows to admire the opening landscapes. But the disadvantages of such places can be called the need to disturb the neighbors in order to go to the toilet. The advantages of aisle seats include freedom of movement, but you will have to endure anxiety from neighbors who need to go to the restroom.

During the production and use of the aircraft, a large number of various modifications of the cabin of the airbus. The Airbus A320 is a narrow-body aircraft with one central aisle, four passenger entrances and four emergency exits.

The Airbus 320 can accommodate a maximum of 180 passengers. In the standard 2-class layout (2+2 in business class and 3+3 seats in economy class), up to 150 passengers can be accommodated in this modification.

Best Places Airbus a320 .

When choosing a cabin with one class - economy, it is necessary to take into account the following recommendations when choosing seats:

• Passengers seated in the front row can receive in-flight meals and drinks the fastest. Also, the first row provides the most legroom, there are no front-seated passengers. Also, those traveling in the front row can exit the cabin the fastest when landing. The disadvantage of such places is the reduced width of the seats, due to the fact that the tables for eating are attached to the armrests.
• In the 12th and 13th rows there are emergency exits, which gives the greatest legroom for seated passengers, but the distance of reclining the backs of the seats is reduced.
• Seats in the tail are considered the worst due to the fact that the backs of the seats most often do not recline, and the kitchen and toilets are located nearby. But this can be a plus, as some prefer to choose places precisely because of the proximity of the toilet.

Note! Salon schemes various airlines may differ, so you should study the seating arrangement on the website of the air carrier.

The scheme of the cabin with a business class was taken from the official website of the Aeroflot airline (Moscow), since it is she who is the most in demand among various airlines. As follows.

The manufacturer Airbus a 320 seats in the cabin provides for two passenger accommodation schemes:

• Location with 20 seats in business and 120 in economy.
• Location with 8 business seats and 150 economy seats.

Business Class

The first seat installation scheme with 5 rows of business class. The most comfortable are the seats in the middle. The chairs are wide and comfortable, there are footrests, which is convenient for long flights. The seats recline strongly, which allows you to comfortably spend the time of the flight. A separate toilet is provided. On the last row there is a partition that separates the business layout from the economy class.

Economy class

The most comfortable are the seats of the 6th row, since there is a large distance between the wall separating the salon and the chair in order to stretch the legs. From these places, in-flight meals and drinks are served, and therefore the greatest choice is provided, in contrast to the tail section passengers. The downside is the need to go to the toilet through the entire cabin of the aircraft.

Seats in the 8th row are located in front of emergency exits, and therefore the backs practically do not recline. A similar situation is in the 9th row, which is also located in front of the emergency exits. The seats provide plenty of space for those in front, which allows you to freely go to the restroom.

The seats of the 10th row are located near the emergency hatches, but unlike the 8-9 rows, it allows you to freely recline the backs of the seats. At the same time, many complain that the seats themselves are not very comfortable for long-distance flights. Of the minuses: these places have restrictions, for example, tickets for people with disabilities, passengers with children or animals, pregnant women, and teenagers under 16 years old are not sold for this row. You can not put hand luggage, bags, suitcases in front of you or under the seats.

The 10th - 23rd rows, inclusive, can be called comfortable, but you need to carefully weigh all the above pros and cons to choose seats near the windows or seats in the central aisle. For example, lovers social networks, beautiful photos and landscapes, it is recommended to choose places near the windows, but you will have to constantly disturb the neighbors to get out. Weather conditions and time of day should be taken into account, since at night the probability of taking beautiful pictures is extremely small. In addition, it must be taken into account that in 15-20 rows the entire view overlaps the wing of the aircraft.

People who are afraid of flying, as well as those traveling with children, are advised to choose seats in the aisle.

The 24th and 25th rows are the least comfortable in many respects. This is due to the fact that all passengers going to the toilet will pass by, which is extremely uncomfortable. Passengers in the 25th row will have to experience this to the maximum extent, since queues often form at the toilets, people knock on doors, they can hurt the passengers of this row. The backs of the seats practically do not recline. You will also have to endure the wafting unpleasant odors and sounds.
