The Russian company Aeroflot is known for trying to acquire only new and tested cars in its fleet. At the end of September 2013, the company bought another car - the Boeing 737-800. This is a new liner that has just left the factory and belongs to the Next Generation type. This aircraft is considered a medium-haul airliner, which was named in honor of the world-famous director of the puppet theater, the greatest artist and director, Sergei Obraztsov. In total, Aeroflot’s team already has 27 such machines. All of them are new, with excellent modern facilities and equipment.
Passengers enjoy spending time during the flight in comfortable and modern seats. You can be absolutely sure that you will not come across an old and squeezed seat. Let us consider in more detail the scheme of the Boeing 737 800 cabin from Aeroflot.
General information
This model from the Boeing family was created by type 737-400. However, it was slightly transformed. The number of seats was increased by 20 seats, and the body of the aircraft itself was extended by 6 meters. Now its length is 39.5 meters. This is a medium-haul airliner that speeds up to 900 km / h and can fly up to 4,500 km without landing. Two powerful turbojet engines allow it to gain altitude of up to 12.5 km.
Each Boeing 737-800 purchased by Aeroflot (we will look at the cabin scheme later) is given a name, traditionally these are great artists and artists of the Russian Federation: writers, musicians, artists, theater workers.
Interior layout
The Boeing 737-800 from Aeroflot has two levels of seating comfort on the plane. This is a business class, occupying 20 seats, and an economy class, making up the majority - 138 seats.
In the bow there is a bathroom and a kitchen compartment. There are two toilets in the rear of the liner.
Business Class
On the scheme of the Boeing 737-800 cabin, the first rows are comfortable business class chairs. Places are arranged in pairs in two rows with a spacious passage between them of 1 meter. This is convenient, since the passenger can freely stretch his legs forward, get up and go to the toilet, while not hooking a neighbor. A monitor is mounted in each chair. The passenger can watch what he wants, and not what is broadcast on a common TV screen, as in an economy class cabin.
The backs of seats comfortably lower, the passenger can relax, reclining reclining. Between the seats there is a small table.
However, travelers note the shortcomings of some places. On the scheme of the Boeing 737-800 cabin, these are the seats in the front row, located closer to the aisle. Experienced travelers are not advised to buy them, since with a completely full cabin in the aisle, a queue may form in the toilet.
Economy class
In the scheme of the Boeing 737-800 cabin from Aeroflot, the economic class starts from the 6th row. The first row is located behind the partition that separates it from the business class. These places are considered convenient, since there is a large distance for the legs, however, for such convenience the company estimates the cost of tickets for such places more expensive at 1700-3450 rubles. (25-50 euros). Such places are called Space +.
Convenient and expensive places are located after an emergency exit. These are seats of the 13th row, except seats A and F, since they do not have one armrest. But there are special conditions. Passengers with children should not be in the emergency exit aisle, hand luggage should not be held in your hands, since it will block the aisle, so you will have to follow safety rules and put all your things in hanging cupboards above your head.
In the middle of the cabin layout of the Boeing 737-800 from Aeroflot, you can see quite convenient places. But people in their reviews note those seats that are not very comfortable, this is especially important when the flight is long. Consider the worst places.
Inconvenient places
In the Boeing 737-800 jet from Aeroflot, there are places on the passenger compartment diagram that many passengers have noted as uncomfortable. These are 9 row seats that do not have a porthole. The chairs of the 11th row do not fall backs. It is inconvenient to sit in one position for a long time, your back gets tired. This fact is explained by the presence of an emergency exit behind the seats, which cannot be forced by anything.
Also, passengers who got the last two rows in the cabin were not satisfied. These are the 27th and 28th rows. Not only is it always colder and noisier at the end of the plane, but also a toilet queue is constantly forming. But he is the only one in the whole huge salon of the economy class, and all 138 people will sooner or later want to visit the bathroom. And I don’t really want to constantly listen to the sound of the drain tank and water splashes.
We hope that this information will help our readers to choose the most convenient places for themselves, so that the flight is comfortable and enjoyable.
