The Boeing 777-300ER is a long-haul wide-body aircraft, a modification of the 777-300 with increased takeoff weight and capacity.

The modification of the Boeing 777-300ER has beveled and extended wingtips, new main landing gear, a reinforced nose strut and additional fuel tanks. The fuselage, wings, plumage and engine pylons have also been reinforced.

Standard on this model, the GE90-115B turbofan engines are by far the most powerful jet engines in the world, with a maximum thrust of 513 kN. The maximum range is 14,690 kilometers, made possible by increased maximum takeoff weight and fuel capacity. The range of the 777-300ER fully loaded is increased by approximately 34% compared to the 777-300. After flight tests, the introduction of new engines, wings and an increase in takeoff weight, fuel consumption decreased by 1.4%.

The first Boeing 777-300ER was handed over to Air France on April 29, 2004. In September 2010, the Boeing 777-300ER became the top-selling Boeing 777 modification, surpassing the 777-200ER.

Location and numbering of seats in the cabin, seating diagram in the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The best and least comfortable seats on the plane

Today, Aeroflot Airlines actively operates 16 aircraft. The aircraft cabin comfortably accommodates 402 passengers and 3 classes of service: business (30 seats), comfort (48 seats) and economy (324 seats).

Business class - first 5 rows.

• Here all places are convenient and comfortable. Modern design, individual menu, entertainment system and top notch service.

Comfort class with11 to 16 rows.

• There is a separate cabin for this class. The name of the class speaks for itself. There are very comfortable chairs, the backs of which do not recline, and the surface “leaves” forward without interfering with the passengers sitting behind you. Each chair is equipped with its own hanging light source, footrest, large comfortable folding table and 10.6-inch monitor. Meals: hot meals from the business class menu.

11 row. There is a partition in front of the seats in this row, so there is not much legroom. And the chairs, under numbers F,G,H and K are closest to the toilet. Moreover, this is a business class toilet, for comfort class passengers there is a toilet in the economy class cabin.

In 12, 15 and 16 rows the porthole is inconveniently located.

Economy class- from 17 to 51 rows. He divided into 3 salons.

17 row seats A,C,H,K. Comfortable places. Plenty of legroom, backs recline well. There are two seats, which are ideal for a flight for two.

20 row. There is no porthole.

17, 24 and 39 rows, places D, E, F, G. The huge advantage is that there are no passengers in front and no one will throw back the back of their chair on you. But the whole flight will have to look at the wall, and it will not be possible to stretch the legs in front. Also, 24 row is close to toilets and 39 - to the kitchen. It's an extra fuss around these places.

18 row C and H. Comfortable places. There are no chairs in front of them and there is enough free meta to stretch your legs and take a comfortable position.

Seats in 23, 36, 37, 50, 51 rows are located near the toilets and the kitchen, which can cause a little discomfort. But here the seat backs recline and it is convenient in flight.

• Seats 24 and 38 rows are located behind the emergency exits, so there is a lot of free space in front

good places, marked in green, in the 24th and 38th rows. The emergency exits in front of them suggest an increase in the free space ahead. However, for safety reasons, elderly passengers, passengers with children and animals, disabled people and pregnant women cannot sit here. Also, you can not block the approaches to the hatches with your hand luggage.

Seats in row 46, C and H. The backs of the seats here “stick out into the aisle” a little, so passengers and flight attendants with trolleys can touch them.

Places from 47 to 51 row: A, C, H, K. Due to the narrowing of the fuselage, there are two seats that are ideal for traveling in pairs.

Emirates Airlines is the largest operator passenger aircraft Boeing 777-300. In total, there are 102 such liners in the aircraft fleet of this airline. Accordingly, with such a quantity, there are different layouts of the cabin. There are 4 in total. The most popular configuration of the Emirates Boeing 777-300 is 12 first class seats, 42 business class seats and 310 economy class seats. We will give a detailed description of this configuration.

First class (1-2 rows).

• The most comfortable for the flight. There are very comfortable chairs that recline almost 180 degrees, an exquisite menu, and high-level service.

Business class (with6 to 11 rows). Also very comfortable chair-beds, the step between the rows is about 1.5 meters. There are some remarks on the places of this class:

• Rows 7 and 8 are close to the kitchen and toilets. These are busier places during daytime and nighttime hours alike. Places 7A and 7K besides, they do not have a porthole.
• 11 row located closest to economy class. There is a very thin baffle, so the noise is not blocked.

Economy class (with16 to 50 rows).

16th row is the standard row in front of the partition. Mounts for baby cradles are located here, which is very convenient for parents, but proximity to small children can make the flight uncomfortable for other passengers. Folding tables and an individual screen are placed in one of the armrests, which makes it immovable. On the seats of this row you can not place hand luggage on the floor during takeoff and landing. A big plus of these places is the absence of passengers in front and the confidence that you will not be leaned back in your seat.

21 row. The backs of the chairs rest against the wall of the toilet and are limited in reclining. Also, places are located next to the toilets, and this is always extra fuss, walking and extraneous sounds.

23 row. Toilets nearby. Places 23A and 23K do not have a full-fledged porthole. A small window is placed on emergency door. The table and monitor are placed in the armrest. These places are prohibited for passengers with children and animals, the disabled and the elderly. You can not block the approaches with hand luggage. A big plus in sufficient free legroom.

35 and 36 rows located close to the kitchen.

37 row has the same pros and cons as 23. Plus, the free space in front is often used by passengers from other rows to take a walk, stretch their legs.

38 row D,E,F,G- good places. However, they are primarily used for passengers with small children.

45C and 45H- the backs of the seats protrude slightly into the main cabin. They can be picked up by passing people and flight attendants with carts.

48A,B,J,K- Seat backs are limited in reclining. Under the seat in front is an in-flight entertainment server. Thus, there is less legroom.

50 row- the backs rest against the wall of the kitchen and close to the toilets.

Boeing 777-200 passenger aircraft (Boeing 777-200) - the first modification of the 777 series, wide body liner for long haul flights.

Boeing 777-200 made its first flight on June 12, 1994, and then was transferred to the operation of United Airlines.

The ER modification is distinguished by an additional fuel capacity; the installed engine is designed for transatlantic routes.

A feature of the LR modification is one of the most long liners. In addition, it was this aircraft that set the world record for the longest non-stop flight by a commercial airliner in 2005.

Boeing 777-200 and its modifications continue to be used for international flights airlines Air china‎, british airways, Cathay Pacific Airways and other major carriers, Emirates operates Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.

The current operator of the Boeing 777-200 in Russia is Nordwind Airlines.

The Aeroflot and Rossiya fleets use the more modern and elongated Boeing 777 - 777-200.

Previously, Boeing 777-200ER aircraft were in the fleet of Transaero (closed in 2015) and Orenburg Airlines (ceased to exist in March 2016).

Scheme Boeing 777-200 near Nordwind

The Nordwind Airlines fleet (Nordwind, North Wind) operates a modification of the Boeing 777-200ER. In total, there are 4 such liners in the company's fleet.

Please note that although Nordwind uses the same Boeing 777-200 layout, the number of seats may still vary depending on the aircraft.

The main scheme is implemented on aircraft (tail numbers):

• VQ-BUD: economy class - 387 seats, business class - 6 seats;
• VP-BJF: economy class - 387, business class - 6.

The number of seats differs on flights (side numbers):

• VP-BJH: economy class - 255, business class - 30;
• VP-BJG: Business class - 49, economy class - 228.

The total number of toilets on board is 10.

Business class aboard a Boeing 777-200 at Nordwind

• The total number of seats is 6;
• Rows - only the first;
• Layout: 2-2-2.

Seats with more legroom

• 5 row: D, E, F, G, H, J, K
• 6th row: A, B, C
• 12 row: D, E, F, G
• 14 row: A, C, H, K
• 33 row: D, E, F, G
• 34 row: A, B, C, H, J, K

Most of these places are located at emergency exits. The 2-3 rows of seats following them are among the preferred places, although they do not have additional advantages - only a close location to the exits and the beginning of the distribution of on-board meals.

bad places

The bad seats on the 777-200 at Nordwind are the seats in the last row of each sector. In addition to the fact that they are mainly located near the toilets and far from the exit, the peculiarity of the backrest also causes inconvenience - it does not recline. In addition, it is precisely for the things of passengers in the last rows that, as a rule, there is not enough space on the top shelf for hand luggage, and you have to put things under the seat in front of you.

One of the largest passenger aircraft over the past 20 years in Russian and world aviation is the Boeing 777. It is also called the Boeng T7, which means Triple Seven, or "Three Sevens".

The largest number of these airliners is operated by Transaero (14 aircraft) and Aeroflot (16 aircraft).

Scheme of the cabin "Boeing 777", best places for flights specifications- all this in this article.

Short description

This Boeing model is the very first in history, its design was developed in the 90s of the last century without paper drawings, entirely on a computer using special programs.

This is the most reliable airliner in the history of aviation, which makes long flights without a single stop.

"Boeing 777" belongs to the wide-body passenger aircraft. It has been in operation since 1995 to the present day.

The capacity is 305-550 people, the flight range is 9,100-17,500 kilometers.

Specifications "Boeing 777"

It is the largest airliner in the world with only 2 engines. These are powerful gas turbine engines "General Electric". Landing gear consists of 6 wheels, which distinguishes it from other aircraft.

Interior and cabin layout

"Boeing 777", as noted above, has several varieties. Salons, each of the modifications has 3 or 4 - each has its own layout, which directly depends on the customer.

The interior of the saloons is dominated by curved lines, indirect lighting, wide luggage racks. The size of the porthole relative to the earlier ones is 380x250 mm.

Economy class capacity - up to 555 people. Armchairs are arranged 10 in a row. Compared to the first models of the Boeing 777, since 2011 the interior has been modernized, making it more modern.

In business class, the seats are arranged 6 in a row, and they fold out into a full bed, which is very convenient during long-haul flights. Because of total there are fewer seats than in economy class, there is more space here.

Imperial class is designed for the most comfortable and expensive flights. Increased attention Additional services, the best cuisine - all this for special guests.

The layout of the Boeing 777-300 cabin of Aeroflot airlines is shown in the photo below.

The best seats on the plane

Depends on the overall staffing of the cabin. When buying tickets, you can choose any seats, but it is preferable to find the most convenient ones so that the flight is pleasant and comfortable.

The best seats are located at the emergency exits: there is extra legroom. Convenient seats in the Boeing 777-300 are those located in rows 11-16 - these are places where 3 chairs are installed in a row (except those next to the toilet). Good places are located near the aisle - there is an opportunity for a short while, but with pleasure to spread your legs.

- if the modification provides for double seats near the porthole, then when flying in pairs it is better to choose them;

In economy classes, the closer to the nose of the aircraft, the wider the distance between the rows of seats;

Those who are in the tail shake most of all, least of all - near the wings;

If the airliner is not fully loaded with passengers, then there are fewer people in the tail and, accordingly, more space.

Of course, these are averages because different airlines there are some nuances in the design of the cabins of the aircraft they own, and it doesn’t matter that in fact this is the same Boeing 777.

"Transaero"

Russian aviation company Transaero owns 14 Boeing 777s. Of these, 9 are modifications of the Boeing 777-200.

This company uses configurations with a passenger capacity of 306 and 323 people, 4th and 3rd class cabins, respectively.

On the passenger side aircraft usually only 3 classes. But the air travel company supplements the standard set with additional subclasses.

In Transaero they are as follows:

Imperial;

Business class (premium);

Economic;

Tourist.

A photo of the layout of the cabin "Boeing 777" ("Transaero") modification 200 is presented below.

In the imperial class, all seats are as comfortable as possible for flights. There are only 12 seats in the cabin, which can be transformed into a bed if necessary and desired. Near each seat there is a liquid crystal screen and a table for eating or working on a PC. Access to the bathroom directly from the salon.

Business class (premium) contains 14 soft and comfortable seats in the cabin. But in the fifth row there are seats, the backs of which recline limitedly.

Economy class is a spacious cabin with a large number of comfortable seats.

There are several places here that are not as convenient as the rest: near bathrooms, near partitions and emergency exits (10th, 29th rows). The backs of these chairs are limited in reclining.

Tourist class is a type of economy class. There are many convenient places (for example, in the 30th row, A, B, H, K). Less comfortable are places C, D, E, F, G in the 30th row, 42nd and 43rd rows at the end of the cabin.

Aeroflot

Boeing 777 of this airline sends modification 300 for long-distance flights. The passenger capacity of these liners is about 400 people, 3 cabins, 3 classes:

Business class is located at the nose of the aircraft. There are 30 armchair-beds in the salon, which are arranged according to the "two-two-two" scheme. The cabin has its own improved menu, drinks, internet, a retractable table for working at a PC, the ability to charge a mobile phone or computer, and an individual approach to passengers.

The comfort class cabin is designed for 48 seats. This is the 11th-16th rows. Comfortable seats with a width of 49 cm allow you to fly in comfort. Near each chair there is a retractable footrest, which makes it possible to recline. Individual lighting, a table, a monitor, a charging socket are provided mobile phone. In the 11th row there is a fastener for a baby cradle. Can be ordered separately baby food. Not the most convenient places of this class are located near the toilet.

The economy class is the most crowded, the passenger capacity is 324 people. Armchairs are arranged according to the scheme "two-four-two". For each passenger, Aeroflot provided a blanket, pillow, slippers, and a sleep mask. There is a monitor to brighten up the flight while watching a movie or listening to music.

You can ask for games and books for children - this is provided by the services of the airline.

The aircraft code is 772. ER stands for Extended Range and translates as extended range. The maximum flight range of the liner is 13,900 km.

The first flight took place in November 1996. In February 1997, the first aircraft was received by British Airways.

Engines: Pratt & Whitney 4090 or Rolls-Royce Trent 895 or General Electric 90-94B.

Salon Boeing 777-200ER

The liner takes on board 314 passengers in a standard three-class layout. 16 in first class, 58 in business class, 240 in economy class. In the cabin with two classes of service 400 passengers. In a single-class layout 440. Different airlines may have different seating arrangements. To find out exactly how many seats are in a Boeing 777-200ER, you need to look at the layout of the cabin of a particular carrier.

The Boeing 777 has a wide cabin. Airlines will be able to choose the layout that best suits market needs on specific routes in this moment time. On busy routes, it is possible to significantly increase the passenger seating density and prevent a critical deterioration in comfort.

The latest B777 models are equipped with a dynamic LED lighting system that changes depending on the activity in the cabin. The brightest light when passengers take their seats. Other backlight modes: flight, rest, eating, landing, sleep.

The best seats in economy class are in row 54 near the window. Rows 20 and 45 are also free, but there is a toilet nearby.

Flight performance Boeing 777-200ER

The closest competitor in terms of characteristics, cost

Every year the number of passenger air transportation is steadily growing and, as a result, the popularity of large and roomy aircraft of the Boeing “three sevens” series is increasing. Boeing 777 is a record holder in terms of board size (among passenger aircraft) and flight distance.

Liner device

The Boeing 777 is a wide-body aircraft with two engines and a turbofan (efficient and economical) engine. The wings of the liner are located low relative to the hull (low-wing). The shape of the wing resembles an arrow (arrow-shaped).

The hull and some elements of the vessel (the floor in the cabin, the steering wheel in the cockpit, and others) consist of almost 10% special alloys and materials, which affects both the strength and the total weight of the aircraft. Boeing landing gear consists of 6 wheels.

The aircraft is fully equipped with a digital remote control system on a par with conventional helms. The Boeing 777 was the first to use innovative technologies for convenience and comfort: a video screen built into the back of the seat, an electronic flight log. For the convenience of passengers, the size of the shelves has been increased.

For a comfortable long flight of the crew in 777, a rest room was added above the head cabin with comfortable chairs and berths.

The developers did not bypass the aesthetic component either: smooth lines of the cabin, diffused light, large windows.

The main modifications of the aircraft and their features

Two indicators for comparison - the length of the aircraft and the flight range - allow us to distinguish several models in the Boeing 777 series. The Boeing 777-200 is considered the reference model, and the 777-300 is its modified extended version, which can accommodate up to 550 air passengers.

The difference between species 777-200 lies in the flight duration parameters. The very first version of the 777-200 covered distances of more than 8 thousand km and was intended for domestic transportation in the United States. In 1995, work began on its modification. In simple terms, we needed an aircraft capable of even longer flights.

Additional letters ER mean " eextendedrangle"- increased range, 777-200 flies at a distance of 12 to 14 thousand km. It differs from the original version in that the aircraft has increased fuel capacity and takeoff weight. 777-200ER is designed for international flights, flights across the Atlantic. This model of the liner has become the most popular passenger aircraft.

Additional letters LR mean " longerrangle"- long range. The aircraft is capable of flights over 14 thousand km, can "connect two opposite points" on the globe(Dallas - Tokyo, Singapore - Los Angeles). Boeing set the famous record for the longest flight distance (without landing) among passenger liners, 777-200LR has flown more than 17 thousand km (17370 km).

It differs from previous versions in even greater takeoff weight and three additional fuel tanks. The appearance is also slightly changed: slightly more sloping wings, reinforced landing gear and a powerful airframe.

Comparative characteristics of Boeing 777-200 models

Interior layout 777-200

The layout of the cabin depends on two parameters:

• configuration (position) and number of seats in the cabin
• number of classes

The seats are arranged in rows, the number of which varies, depending on the configuration of the cabin, from 43 to 62. The number of seats in a row also varies from 4 to 10. The fewer seats in a row, the more prestigious the class. The number of seats in the cabin ranges from 306 to 550 The arrangement of seats, kitchen and toilets is the most diverse, and the layout of the cabin itself makes it possible, if necessary (or at will), to rearrange passenger seats and other elements.

The standard division into classes all over the world assumes 3 levels:

• first
• business
• economy

But many airlines have their own categories. For example:

• imperial, as a subspecies (or replacement) of the first,
• premium or premium, somewhere it belongs to the business class, and somewhere to the economy class,
• tourist, as a subspecies of the economy class.

As a rule, 777-200 aircraft have cabins with 2 or 3 classes, but in some cases there are 1 (440 seats) and 4.

Boeing 777-200 with 2 cabin classes

These are the classes:

• business
• economy

The level of high comfort - business class - is located in front of the liner. Armchairs of this level are at a sufficient distance from each other, this allows you to recline, stretch your legs or put them on a special stand. In an aircraft with 306, 314 or 396 seats, the business class is small, with only 6 to 10 seats in a 2-2-2 or 2-3-2 configuration, arranged either in rows or in a checkerboard pattern.

Economy class occupies most of the cabin. The seats are arranged differently, depending on the aircraft: 2-5-2, 3-4-3 and 3-3-3. The distance between the seats is significantly less than in the business class, which is especially inconvenient for tall people. The small distance between the seats does not allow you to recline the back, but only tilt it slightly (by 45 degrees).

Toilets are located in the central and tail parts of the cabin.

Boeing 777-200 with 3 cabin classes

These are the classes:

• first (or class superior comfort, or imperial)
• Business Class
• economy

Sometimes there is a configuration of such three classes as: business, economy and tourist. The number is 3, but in fact it is an aircraft with two comfort classes: business and economy.

In the bow of the aircraft is the best elite class - first or premium. Number of seats from 6 to 16, in 1-2-1 or 2-2-2 configurations. Armchairs are more like mini-sofas, large, comfortable with folding backs. For this class there is a separate toilet and its own kitchen.

The business class is more spacious (up to 42 seats) compared to the previous layout, but, in general, the level of comfort is no different. This classroom also has a separate toilet and kitchen.

In the center and tail of the plane is the remaining economy class, with an average of 180 seats. All characteristics of the economy class are the same, regardless of the modification of the cabin.

Boeing 777-200 with 4 cabin classes

These are the classes:

• first
• Business Class
• economy
• tourist

A distinctive feature of this form of planning is the division of the economy class into two types: the economy proper and the tourist class. The layout of the seats or the level of comfort, they are no different. The only thing: the economy is located in the center, and the tourist class is at the tail of the plane.

The rows in the cabin of the liner are indicated by Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3 ... 43), and the seats are indicated by Latin letters (A, B, C ... K, L)

Pros and cons of seating arrangement, seat selection when buying a ticket

When choosing a seat, most passengers are guided by criteria such as:

• class and level of comfort, and, consequently, the ticket price
• a row, its proximity or remoteness to partitions and a toilet
• location in a row (in the center, at the aisle, closer to the porthole, etc.)

by the most comfortable places, but also the most expensive are first and business class seats. The downside of these seats is only their cost. Accordingly, the more pluses according to the listed criteria, the more comfortable the flight. And vice versa.

At the very beginning of the economy class, immediately after the business class, there are partitions; they are always indicated on the layout diagram. Toilets are also usually located here. And both factors make the first row of economy extremely uncomfortable.

The economy class is divided either into two parts (center and tail), or into a tourist class. Between them emergency exit, or a partition, or a toilet, which in each case brings its own inconvenience to the last row of the central part of the liner.

But the first row of the tail section, on the contrary, is convenient, since there is additional space here. On long flights, this can be a decisive moment, regardless of the presence of a toilet nearby.

The last rows at the very tail of the aircraft are characterized in the same way as the central ones: there is an uncomfortable partition, which makes it difficult to recline the seat, a toilet and a constant queue for it. The only plus, especially for those who are afraid to fly, is the statistical fact of survival in air crashes (more than 60% of the survivors were sitting here).

The rest of the seats are considered standard in terms of convenience and comfort.
