The plane is the only means of transportation, which allows you to cover vast distances in the shortest possible time. The growing popularity of this type of transport forces designers to constantly come up with new types of aircraft and improve existing models. One of the most “successful” models of passenger aircraft is the Boeing 373-800. This airliner is used by many major air carriers, including Aeroflot and Pegas Fly. Let's find out what the layout of a Boeing 737-800 aircraft looks like and which seats are more comfortable.
The number of seats on the Boeing 737-800 (Boeing 737-800) varies from 162 passengers in a two-class cabin to 189 people in a single-class cabin
Aircraft characteristics
The first tests of an airliner called the Boeing 737 were carried out more than twenty years ago . According to experts, the need to create this airliner was explained by growing competition among aircraft manufacturing companies. The airliner is included in the category of third generation aircraft. Such aircraft have improved characteristics. Boeings are manufactured in two different configurations:
- A model with one comfort class, designed for one hundred and eighty-nine passengers.
- A model with two comfort classes, designed for one hundred and sixty people.
In addition, there are a few examples of airliners that have a first class compartment inside. The width of the aircraft cabin is more than three and a half meters, and its length is equal to forty meters. This design feature allowed the aircraft developers to significantly increase the number of passenger seats. This aircraft can easily cover a distance of five thousand kilometers, reaching speeds exceeding eight hundred and fifty kilometers per hour.
For many passengers, all of the above parameters mean nothing, since the main issue for them is choosing a comfortable seat. Next, we will tell you what the Boeing 737-800 Aeroflot is, the cabin layout, the best seats, and discuss how to choose the best seat for a long flight.

Basic principles of passenger seating
Experienced travelers who frequently use air transport know that travel documents do not indicate the seat allocated to a specific passenger . Passengers select a seat on the aircraft during the check-in procedure . Since many people do not know the schematic arrangement of the seats, such a choice is made at random.
It is important to understand that the wrong choice of seat in the cabin can overshadow the flight experience due to a pronounced feeling of discomfort.
Before traveling by air, it is recommended that you carefully study the layout of the air transport cabin. Studying the plane's layout will allow you to determine which seats will be more comfortable. In the cabin of a standard airliner, the seats are installed in two rows. Each row has three passenger seats. For people traveling by air for the first time, it is recommended to choose seats located next to the aisle. These same seats are recommended for people who suffer from aerophobia. The choice of such seats allows the passenger to be able to move freely around the cabin without disturbing the neighbors.
It should be noted that this choice also has several significant disadvantages. If passengers sitting next to you need to leave their seat, travelers occupying an aisle seat must stand and let them pass. Also worth mentioning is the fact that flight attendants and flight attendants can accidentally bump into passengers sitting near the aisle while moving around the cabin.
Experts do not recommend that people traveling alone choose seats located in the central part of the row. In this case, the passenger will be in close proximity to two strangers during the entire flight. Most people who find themselves in this situation experience severe discomfort. Occupied armrests can contribute to this feeling. Choosing a place located near the porthole allows you to enjoy a picture that is difficult to describe in words. It is important to consider here that in order to go out into the aisle, you will need to disturb other passengers. Before deciding on a seat, it is recommended to carefully study the location of the seats and choose the row where the passenger can relax as much as possible.

Layout of liners with one comfort class
Many major air carriers use similar aircraft, including. This company uses the Boeing 737-800 airliner in the VQ-BCJ modification. The first three seats in this aircraft are located close to the toilet for the crew of the airliner, which is separated from the general cabin by a special partition. The main feature of these seats is the availability of free space in front of the seats, which allows you to stand up without causing inconvenience to your neighbors. The seats in the second row are located behind a partition. Such seats are highly discouraged for passengers who are afraid of confined spaces. Having a wall in front of your eyes can only increase the severity of the phobia and cause panic attacks.
The main advantage of choosing seats located in the bow is the excellent choice of food. Aircraft personnel distribute food starting from the bow of the aircraft. Many travelers often experience severe discomfort due to the fact that passengers sitting in front recline their seats. Choosing a seat in the front row makes you feel more comfortable. It should be noted here that the air in the bow of the airliner is colder than the rest of the cabin.
Persons choosing seats in the fifteenth and sixteenth rows need to consider several important features of their choice. The seats installed in this part of the ship have restrictions on the folding of the backrest. This design feature is explained by the fact that emergency exits are located behind these chairs. The seventeenth row is considered a zone of increased comfort, since all the seats are located quite far from the adjacent row. Persons who choose this seat can stretch their legs without fear of causing discomfort to other passengers. It should be noted that only adult travelers who do not have disabilities can book a place in this zone. In the event of an emergency, passengers occupying this seat must open emergency exits.
The layout of the Boeing 737-800 cabin indicates that the most comfortable place is the seat numbered “18-A”. There is enough space in front of this seat to stand up without disturbing your neighbors. The seats located in the thirty-third row are the most uncomfortable, according to experts. This opinion is explained by the fact that behind these seats there is a passenger toilet. The design of such chairs does not allow the back to be fully reclined. You should also take into account that this part of the plane is quite noisy due to the fact that other passengers often visit the toilet during the flight. These places are highly not recommended for those people who want to relax and sleep through the entire flight.

Layout of liners with two comfort classes
Many airlines prefer to use aircraft produced in the VQ-BIZ modification. The main feature of such aircraft is the division of the cabin into two separate zones:
- Business Class;
- Economy class.
The first three rows are located in business class and are twin seats. Seats in this part of the aircraft are considered the most comfortable for long-distance flights. Here you need to take into account that the first four seats are located near the partition separating the cabin from the cockpit. This means that in this part of the aircraft there is quite a bit of free space in front of the seats. It is recommended to choose such seats for those people who want to work during the flight or watch a movie on their laptop.
The Boeing 737-800 in the VQ-BIZ modification is designed for one hundred and sixty passengers. The economy class cabin has one hundred and fifty-four seats. Many experts recommend choosing seats located in the fourth row. This recommendation is explained by the fact that in front of these seats there is a partition dividing the interior. This means that passengers who choose this seat will not experience discomfort due to the fact that passengers sitting in the front recline their seats. In addition, you can book a seat in the eleventh or twelfth row, where you can safely recline your seat. Emergency exits are located behind these seats.
Travelers who love comfort are advised to choose seats located near the emergency doors. In addition, you can choose the fourteenth row, which is considered the most spacious. Seats located in the twenty-ninth row are not recommended for those tourists who want to relax and unwind in silence. The backs of these seats do not recline fully. You also need to take into account that flight attendants serve these seats last.

Expert advice
Before embarking on your first air travel, it is recommended that you carefully study the recommendations of experienced travelers. In addition, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the photo of the Boeing 737-800 and analyze the layout of the aircraft cabin. You can choose a convenient seat only by knowing the design features of the airliner model used by the selected carrier. Many experts recommend that travelers coordinate their choice with airline employees by telling them about their preferences. This approach will allow you to get the most convenient place.
In addition to all of the above, you need to take into account your own perception of shaking and turbulence. In the bow of the airliner, the shaking is felt much less than at the back of the cabin. For those travelers who wish to relax as much as possible during the flight, it is not recommended to reserve seats located near the toilet or emergency exit. The seats installed in this area do not recline fully due to safety reasons. You also need to take into account that places located near utility rooms will be inconvenient for those people who want to spend time in silence. This part of the cabin is constantly noisy due to the large crowd of people. Those traveling with pets are advised to choose aisle seats.
The choice of comfortable seats on an airplane always depends on the airline, since the layout of the passenger cabin is different for all carriers
