In late winter and early spring 2013, Aeroflot acquired 16 Boeing 777 300ER aircraft. They are designed for long flights, have a twin-engine turbofan engine General Electric GE90. These aircraft were created in the early 90s, their drawings were completely made on computers. This is the first line of cars produced in this way.
Another feature is the six-wheeled chassis, providing a soft landing, as well as a very roomy and at the same time comfortable cabin for all passengers. Let's take a closer look at the Boeing 777 300ER cabin layout.
Aircraft interior
All 777 model airplanes have a peculiar curved interior of the cabin, the sizes of shelves for hand luggage and portholes are increased. The seats of the cabin, kitchen and toilet stalls are mobile, and airlines at their discretion place them in aircraft.
If we consider the scheme of the cabin of the Boeing 777 300ER, then compared with other representatives of this company, the aircraft has a large length and passenger capacity . It is 10 meters longer than previous versions, and accordingly, it can accommodate from 350 to 550 people on board.
There are many toilet stalls on board, where the project engineers invented a new system of hydraulic hinge on the toilets, which closes the lid automatically and slowly. There is a kitchen where you can enjoy drinks and fresh food. After all, the flight range is huge. For example, there is a flight from Moscow to Hong Kong or New York. The distance is not small, so you will definitely want to have a bite to eat, and sometimes a tight meal.
In the salons there are monitors mounted in the seats, on which you can watch your favorite movie and listen to the news from the cockpit.
By the way, for the crew in the aircraft there are also places for rest located directly above the cockpit. Changed pilots can go there, sit in comfortable chairs or relax while lying on the bed.
For charter flights, special VIP lounges are used, where all places with more comfortable flight conditions are created.
Interior layout
Let's look at the quantity and quality of seats in this aircraft owned by Aeroflot. According to passenger reviews, all the seats are very convenient, but we need to find out which ones are the best, find flaws and talk about them. To do this, we offer you the scheme of the Boeing 777 300ER (Aeroflot) cabin.
In total, it seats 402 passengers. They are located in three service sectors and have a different category of comfort.
The Boeing 777 300ER showcases a business class, comfort and economy class. We will tell you more about them.
Business Class Seats
On the nose of the aircraft, the first five rows of seats accommodate 30 passengers. These seats are located in two seats on the left, right and in the middle of the cabin. Side places have access to portholes, the size of which is 380 × 250 mm. The distance between the rows is free, 1.5 meters, so it is convenient to go out, if necessary, without hooking a neighbor. Judging by the interior layout, the best places in the Boeing 777 300ER are business class.
The chairs here are made as comfortable as possible. In front of each passenger is a monitor with a screen diagonal of 15.4 ″. The chair itself has an interesting structure. Its plastic back rests in place, and the soft part unfolds forward. So even if the neighbor in the front fully decomposes the chair and goes to bed on the formed bed, then sitting at the back will not cause any inconvenience.
The photo shows how a chair is laid out in such an airplane sector. But besides this, on the Boeing 777 300ER (according to the cabin scheme), the best places are occupied by passengers who have additional opportunities for individual ordering food in a restaurant. You can make a reservation only by coming aboard the aircraft. Your favorite meal will be prepared and served. But, of course, a round sum of money will have to be paid for such a service, because a plane ticket to this class is not cheap.
Comfort class
The next degree of comfort according to the scheme of the Boeing 777 300ER are seats from 11 to 16 rows. Each of them has 8 seats, with ample passage.
This compartment is designed for 48 passenger seats. Above each place there is a small lamp, in front - an individual monitor, measuring 10.6 inches.
For the convenience of passengers, a comfortable footboard has been made for the legs, and in sleep mode a special system has been developed to extend not the back, but the seat cushions. This method does not interfere with people in front and behind.
Economy class
The remaining 324 people are located in several compartments of the aircraft, occupying the middle and tail of the aircraft. According to the scheme of the cabin, in the Boeing 777 300ER the best seats in the economy class are located in the seats at the aisle. There are double seats at the windows, if a couple travels, they will be more comfortable together.
The distance between the seats of this class is 90 cm. Some passengers consider the most convenient places in front of the partition with the toilet. There is more leg distance and you can stretch them forward.
The most uncomfortable in this class, if you are guided by the scheme of the Boeing 777 300ER, people name the last places in each compartment. This is because these seats can not fully fall back. Because of this, it is difficult to take a comfortable sleeping position.
JET Fleet First Class
In long-range aircraft departing to China, to the North, to Europe, the prefix Jet is assigned to the name of the aircraft . The best places in the Boeing 777 300ER JET are considered the first class, in which there are only 8 seats. They are completely laid out, turning into a berth. In addition, the chair is massage at eight points and with lumbar support.
The first class sector is closed by doors and you can invite a guest to your compartment for whom there is a small sofa.
In the personal compartment there is a LED backlight, 23-inch monitor, communication, power supply, lockers for personal items. Everything is done for the convenience of distinguished guests. But the ticket price is appropriate.
Business Class JET
If you carefully look at the Boeing 777 300ER JET cabin layout, we will see quite good places in the business class. Location of seats - 1 - 2 - 1. There are seats at an angle of 45 degrees in the direction of movement of the aircraft, in the form of a Christmas tree. They are completely laid out, so that passengers can sleep well during the flight.
Of all 30 seats, passengers do not like only the seats located next to the galley. They complain that every time the curtains are lifted, all the smells of the kitchen went out into the salon. Although, basically, the reviews are positive.
Convenient monitors are built into the partitions, a power supply is suitable where you can recharge a razor or phone.
The remaining seats on the plane are occupied by passengers sitting in the economy class.
When buying tickets, especially if a long-distance flight, it is recommended that you carefully consider the layout of the aircraft. Even if you want to save money and do not take tickets to expensive compartments, you can also choose more convenient places in the economy class, where the kitchen is far, the toilet is also, but the passage, where there is more legroom, is nearby.
