Cabin layout and best seats Boeing 777-300 Russia

Avia began its operations back in 1992. During this time, the company gained great popularity among passengers, and now Rossiya is part of the Aeroflot groups. Every year the company transports a million passengers, increasing its route network. For all flights you need to have a good fleet in your arsenal. That is why the fleet includes modern aircraft, for example Boeing 777 .

Specifications

The Boeing 777 appeared not so long ago, in 1994. The liners immediately became popular; many leading companies in the world ordered them. Rossiya Airlines has several such aircraft and several more are on order. The technical characteristics of the Boeing 777-300 are as follows:

Length – 74 meters.
Capacity – about 400 people.
Cruising speed is 905 kilometers per hour.
Flight range is up to 12 thousand kilometers.
The maximum flight altitude is 13,100 meters.

The Boeing 777-300 is good for long-haul flights , which the airline frequently operates. The liners are in excellent condition, because they entered service not so long ago. The average age of all aircraft is two and a half years. You should know that in general the entire Russian fleet is very new, the average age of all Boeings is 4 years.

History of creation

For the Boeing 777, the story began in the early 70s of the last century. At this time, a real aviation boom began, and in order to stay in trend, many airlines began to demand new aircraft with increased capacity. This is how the following models appeared on the market:

Boeing 747;
Douglas DC-10;
Lockheed L-1011 TriStar.

However, the management of Boeing was well aware that in order to withstand the ever-growing competition in the market, fresh solutions were needed. Thus, work began on the creation of twin-engine aircraft Boeing 757 and Boeing 767. In addition, a project of a three-engine Boeing 777 was developed, which was soon canceled: this concept did not arouse interest among air carriers.

The Boeing 777 received a second chance to exist in the 80s, when airline requirements changed again and demand for wide-body aircraft appeared. Here, Boeing provided a virtually finished aircraft design, simply taking it out of a distant drawer. However, the car needed improvement.

June 12, 1994 – first flight

In particular, consumers wanted a variable-seat aircraft capable of intercontinental flights and relatively short-haul charter flights. In addition, the layout of their 3 engines was considered economically unprofitable.

The requirements were taken into account, and the Boeing 777 project began to be developed at an accelerated pace. It is noteworthy that the designers conducted regular surveys of airline passengers, asking for their opinions on improving the level of comfort during the flight.

Serial production of these aircraft began in 1995, and demand on the market has remained to this day.

Boeing 777-300 aircraft interior diagram

The seats on the company's plane are located as follows:

Boeing 777-300 aircraft is divided into several classes :

Business Class. Located in the bow of the aircraft, it can accommodate 30 passengers.
Comfortable class. Located behind business class, the number of seats is 48.
Economy class. Standard service on board, accommodates approximately 330 people.

The seats are usually arranged according to the principle: 9 seats in a row or 10 seats in a row (4 seats in the middle, 3 on the sides). According to reviews from tourists, the Boeing 777-300 is a fairly comfortable airliner. Occasionally, people complain about uncomfortable seats, narrow aisles or the lack of windows in some seats.

Which airlines use the B777 aircraft?

The largest twin-engine turbofan aircraft, the Boeing 777, is operated by various air carriers around the world on their flights.

The most famous B777 operating companies:

Emirates is a major global air carrier based in the UAE. The company's fleet includes 149 aircraft. Delivery of another 157 aircraft of this model is expected.
United Airlines is a major US carrier. There are 91 B777 aircraft in operation, with 1 airliner on order.
Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong's flagship carrier, operates 69 Boeing 777 aircraft on its routes and is awaiting delivery of a further 26 units.
Air France, a well-known French carrier, operates 68 Boeing 777s with different cabin layouts on its routes.

The best seats on a Boeing 777-300

When choosing places to fly, study the layout of the aircraft and listen to your desires. The picture shows a photo of the aircraft interior to make it easier to navigate:

From the first to the fifth rows - business class . There are two seats here, a total of 6 chairs in a row. The chairs themselves are quite wide, the distance between them is increased, which means there is more legroom. The chairs themselves are comfortable and soft.
Rows 11-16. These seats are located in the comfort class . The seats here are arranged according to the “2-4-2” pattern. The distance between the seats has been slightly reduced, resulting in less legroom. But this class has its pros and cons. The most uncomfortable row is row 11; its downside is that the partition in front of the seats is too close. In addition, there is a toilet nearby, which can interfere with your peace of mind during the flight.
17th row. This is the first row of economy class , there are no neighbors in front, so the seats will not recline on you, and your legs can be straightened as you wish. Only in this row the side seats are arranged in pairs, while in others the seats are already arranged in groups of three.
Row 18, seats C and N. There are no neighbors in front, so there is plenty of legroom. These seats are located in the middle of the plane, the pitching will be minimally noticeable.
24 row. Located after the emergency exits, there are no neighbors in front of you. But there is a toilet nearby, so unpleasant sounds and smells may reach you, this can be especially noticeable in seats D and G.
38 row. Similar to 24. There is an emergency exit and a kitchen area nearby. But there is a lot of legroom.
Rows 47-49, seats A, C, H and K. From these seats, the side seats are again arranged in pairs. But because of this, the aisles do not become wider; it is quite possible that passing passengers or flight attendants will interfere with you.

Design features

The flight range of any airliner largely depends on the structural weight. Therefore, Boeing, starting from the creation of the first model, has been actively introducing innovative technologies and using modern composite materials. Let's see how such innovations affect the layout of the aircraft.

Cabin

The design of the Boeing 777 cockpit provides maximum comfort for crew members. This is achieved by increased sound insulation, installation of comfortable chairs with an adjustable backrest configuration, and an excellent viewing angle.

At the same time, the interior space of the cockpit is organized in such a way that the pilots have no distractions. Information about pre-flight diagnostics and the technical condition of the aircraft in flight is displayed on the LCD screens of the on-board navigation system.

Interior

The calling card of the Boeing 777 is smooth lines and well-planned interior space. There is nothing superfluous here, and even in economy class there is no inconvenience or discomfort during intercontinental flights.

Airframe and powerplants

To manufacture this element of the aircraft's structure, composite materials are used to reduce the overall weight. The wing geometry is designed for speed and maximum flight altitude.

Boeing engines are manufactured by General Electric. These are modern power units that allow the aircraft to reach speeds close to the speed of sound. The engines perfectly combine performance, reliability, ease of operation and maintenance.

Avionics

This term refers to a set of on-board instruments and electronics. In the Boeing design, this complex is represented by the EFIS system. Electronic unit includes:

Informative LCD displays;
Database and library with technical documentation;
Energy efficiency monitoring system for devices;
A system that monitors cabin tightness, pressure levels and air quality.

A feature of Boeing avionics provides for simple software flashing and module replacement.

Chassis

The element is presented in a 6-wheel version. Thanks to this arrangement, maximum stability of the aircraft on the runway is ensured. Each of the tires assembled into the chassis rack can easily withstand a load of up to 27,000 kg.

Good seats in Boeing 777-300

Let's take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of Boeing 777-300 passenger seats:

12th row, seats C, D, G, H. All these seats are on the side of the aisle . People will often pass here to the toilet, so they may disturb you, since the passages themselves are not very wide.
Row 20, window seats . The key word is “Window,” which may not even be there. Passengers often complain that there is no window in this particular row.
23 row. These are the last seats before the exits; the backs of the seats here can be reclined. But there will be a toilet , so people will often walk past you, especially the aisle chairs.
36 row. Similar to row 23. Behind you will be a toilet and technical rooms . The movement of people will be most noticeable in areas near the edge.
50 row. The situation is similar with the previous rows. Toilets located behind your seats may make it difficult for you to recline your seat , and people will often rush past you.

Unusual Airbus

Today, the Boeing has been replaced by a double-decker Airbus. Moreover, if Boeing’s second floor was made in the form of a kind of hump, then the Airbus is already a full-fledged model with even floors. In essence, it is an 8-story building with a wingspan of about 80 meters. It can simultaneously accommodate up to 853 passengers. The plane has 4 engines, which allow it to be as powerful as possible. At the same time, experts say that engineering does not stand still, and there is a chance in the future to expect even more powerful and beautiful aircraft of the same type.

Specifications

Firstly, such a liner is made of an alloy of lightweight composites, which significantly increases its ergonomics. It is quite durable and well streamlined. All this also allows you to increase its speed.

The engines on this aircraft are the most modern, and the latest software is also used, which facilitates more competent and high-quality tracking of flight information and the state of the aircraft systems.

Today the aircraft is very popular; thousands of tourists gather to see it at traditional displays at the airport. And there is a reason - it is huge, beautiful and elegant. Experts say that at the moment this is the best combination of quality, well-selected materials and engineering genius.

Worst seats on a Boeing 777-300

There are few bad seats on a Boeing 777. Each seat has its pros and cons. But these are the places you shouldn’t choose:

37 row. The row is located in front of the buffet and toilet; the walls of these rooms will prevent you from reclining the backrests completely. In addition, the outer seats - D and G - will be touched by passers-by.
51 row. The situation is similar to row 37. There is a buffet behind the chairs, which means that the backs of the chairs cannot be reclined.

It is not recommended to take aisle seats , as such seats can be hit by flight attendant trolleys and passers-by.

Russian airlines that own Boeing 747 400

The aircraft's capacity makes it popular, including in Russia. Until 2015, only Transaero could boast of having this aircraft in its fleet. However, as you know, on September 13, 2022 in St. Petersburg, the company was declared bankrupt. Consequently, the bankruptcy procedure was put into effect. All 7 aircraft went to Rossiya Airlines. It is she who is currently the only owner of aircraft of this class.

The airline offers its passengers 4 modifications of aircraft:

4 aircraft with 522 passenger seats.
2 aircraft with seats in the amount of 477 pieces.
One model for 461 seats.

And although it was said above that the maximum capacity of the Boeing 747 is 524 people, there are fewer seats in the indicated modifications. This is logical, since the total number of available seats is determined by the class and the number of luxury seats. Such chairs require more space compared to the standard version. Actually, now we can move on to considering the layout of these sides.
