One of the factors providing a comfortable and safe flight is the correct choice of a place on the plane.
About Airbus
Airbus, a manufacturer of aircraft for civilian, cargo and military aviation, has been the main and perhaps the only competitor to the famous Boeing for almost half a century. Symbolizing the competition between Europe and America, the Old and the New World, Airbus and Boeing companies produce comfortable passenger liners of various classes - from huge cars like the A380 and B747, to medium-sized aircraft and flight lengths like the A320 and B737.
Last but not least fierce rivalry and the presence of a strong competitor force both of these companies to constantly improve and offer airlines more and more new designs - more comfortable, safe and economical.
Technical specifications Airbus A330-300
Being a replacement for its parent, Airbus A330, the A330-300 received some lengthening of the fuselage, which ultimately amounted to 63.7 meters. The wingspan of this aircraft is 60.3 meters. Airbus A330-300 can carry up to 440 passengers (if the cabin has seats of only one class) at a distance of up to 10,000 kilometers. In addition, the liner has a capacious cargo compartment, which makes it possible to use it as an aircraft carrying goods. The cruising speed of the Airbus A330-300 is 880 km / h.
The Airbus A330-300 , compared to its competitors, the Boeing 767 and 787, looks more profitable - at least in terms of demand. Sales of the Airbus model are at a higher level - annually airlines around the world order about a hundred A330-300.
Best places on the example of Aeroflot
Since the layout of seats in the cabin of each airline is different, for the convenience of readers we consider an example of a vessel belonging to the largest Russian carrier, Aeroflot. The Airbus A330-300, the best seats of which we will choose now, is used by the national carrier in three cabin configurations, and we took the most common option.
So, where is the best place to sit in the Airbus A330-300? The scheme of the salon shows us that in the business class the places to which claims may arise are the last and first rows. The first is due to the proximity of technical areas such as the kitchen, wardrobe and toilet. The latter is due to its proximity to the economy class, where more noise comes from when more people are accommodated there.
In the 15th row of the economy class, side seats do not have portholes, which should be taken into account if you want to fly in contemplation of the clouds and the boundless sky.
The 29th row will be convenient for long flights - there are emergency exits nearby, there are no seats in front, so sitting and lying there will be very spacious, you can stretch your legs and get up at any time without needing to wake up a neighbor. But it is worth considering the proximity of the toilets. An unpleasant smell can be heard from there , and hardly anyone can really like standing next to people in line. Also near this row, along with the 11th, are the mounts for the cradles, so get ready for the fact that the whole flight will have babies next to you.
The most uncomfortable places are in the ranks 44-45 and 27-28. In addition to proximity to the toilets, the backs of chairs in these rows do not recline - there is simply nowhere to go, since there is a wall behind.
And finally, we note the 41st row, in which, due to a slight decrease in the width of the aircraft, two seats at the aisle bulge a little, which can create additional inconvenience.
General tips
Finally, let’s repeat a few tips that will be relevant when choosing seats on any aircraft, and not just on the Airbus A330-300: do not choose places near technical rooms, especially for toilets. Also make sure that the seatbacks in your row recline, otherwise you will have to sleep in a fully seated position.
