Aircraft a321. Airbus A321: cabin layout and best seats

Airbus, or as it is called in our homeland, Airbus, is today one of the main suppliers of aircrafts around the world. The world-renowned company has its own production facilities in several European countries: Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom. The aviation giant's headquarters are located in small town called Blagnac, which is in the suburbs of Toulouse, France. The staff is about 50 thousand people. The aviation concern produces a full line of aircraft, including the Airbus A321 aircraft, the cabin layout of which can accommodate up to 220 seats (in an enlarged version), depending on the customer's wishes and configuration.

Family "A320"

In the eighties of the last century, this line of narrow-body aircraft in the Airbus model range was the most advanced in terms of technology. For the first time, the EDSU (fly-by-wire control system) was used on the series, and for the first time the cockpit was equipped with side control levers instead of conventional steering columns. The plumage of the aircraft, its wingtips on the wings were made of composite materials. The main competitors of the series, especially the extended version with the Airbus A321 index, were the American Boeings B737. The latest generations of the B737NG (New Generation) are equipped with electronic and automatic systems no worse than Airbus systems.

Increased demand

However, the demand for European aircraft is growing day by day. In February 2008, the plant was forced to open an additional assembly site for such aircraft in Hamburg (Germany) due to the sharply increased demand for the model. Up to this point, they have managed with the production facilities of one plant in Toulouse, where the Airbus A321 was also assembled. The aircraft cabin layout was determined by the Airbus model. The smallest of this class - "A318", with its layout, one class (economic Y) could take on board up to a maximum of 138 people.

Long awaited release

In 1994, an extended version of the bestselling book was introduced. The airlines, the customers of the plant, wanted to get more, but for about the same money. Moving to another class would mean higher fuel costs, permits and certifications, higher airport taxes, etc. Therefore, the long-awaited release of the Airbus A321 model was greeted very warmly in the narrow circles of top managers from the world of aviation. Plants in Toulouse and Hamburg were filled with orders, production worked for 24 hours without interruption, workers went out in three, and sometimes in four shifts. The 321st entered into direct competition with the Boeing B757, despite the fact that the latter has increased passenger capacity and flight range. Since 2005, the B757 was discontinued, and the number of orders for the Airbus A321 increased again, despite the low dollar exchange rate. For Airbus, this remains a rather serious problem, because it has historically happened that orders are paid in dollars, although all production sites of the concern are located in the eurozone.

More than A320

The increased length of the fuselage allows 170 passengers to be accommodated in two cabins of varying degrees of comfort, or up to 220 people with the maximum filling of the passenger compartment with boarding seats. Airbus also leaves the possibility for the future operator to choose the layout of the cabin from the proposed acceptable options for the Airbus A321. The layout of the seats and the distance between them can be changed to values ​​from the range suggested by the manufacturer. In the most economical version of the cabin, 36 rows are installed with two built-in seats to the left and right of the aisle and one row, as a rule, at the third pair of emergency exits with double seats on opposite sides of the aisle. There is also a variant of the arrangement of seats in 35 rows of six seats in a row, 2 rows of four seats (at the second and third pair of emergency exits) and the last row of two seats installed in the stern of the fuselage. With such seating arrangements, the interior of the Airbus A321 has a minimum distance between adjacent seats of 28-30 centimeters (about 11 inches).

Where are the best places?

But even with such an aircraft layout, you can find a place for yourself. superior comfort... The first rows of the passenger compartment are always distinguished by increased legroom. Even in those aircraft variations where a wall separates the economy salon from the business class, there will always be more space than in the aisle. An additional advantage is the fact that no one will tilt the chair in front of you into your lap, and in most cases, they start feeding from here. But airlines almost always charge extra for this seat reservation, as well as for emergency exit seats. Airbus A321 has four pairs of such exits, and at two of them, in the center of the cabin, you can try to book a seat for yourself. If you are not a child, not a pensioner, not a disabled person or a pregnant woman, then you will be allowed to fly here, if not, they will be transplanted. These are the rules! Just behind the double seats is another comfortable place for the flight. Where there is no chair in front. They don't take payment for booking such a place, and you can stretch your legs far ahead. Here's a real chance to get your best seat on the plane, and for free. In addition, there are no restrictions on the categories of air passengers at these seats. Everyone has the right to sit here!

Business Class. Seat map

Airbus A321 can be assembled from several classes of passenger cabins. First class always and everywhere, in any airline, is distinguished by comfortable seats, super service and a special attitude towards those who chose it. But the business class can be deprived. For example, in the Airbus A321 of Aeroflot, the distance between the seats is not much greater than in the economy class. Of the seven rows of double seats, it is best not to choose the first and last row for the flight if possible. Passengers in the first row will be hampered by the close-located wardrobe partition and the presence of bathrooms, and the last, seventh, row is located quite close to the noisy economy class cabin.

In the aircraft fleet Ural Airlines there are 35 aircraft, 10 of which are A321. They are the largest of the 320 Airbus family. This is a narrow-body aircraft, depending on the needs of the airline, it can have a different cabin configuration. A321 Ural Airlines accommodates 220 passenger seats economy class. As with any plane, there are good and bad ones among them. It is important to choose the most optimal travel option for yourself. This can be done using the Ural Airlines Airbus A321 cabin layout.

Characteristics of places

The Ural airlines airbus A321 has 38 rows. Most have 3 seats on either side of the aisle.

1st row: the places in it have their pros and cons:

• In aircraft of this configuration, they are located close to partitions, a kitchen or a toilet. For this reason, it can get quite noisy here, and the smells of food will reach your place. In addition, it is not entirely comfortable to look at the wall in front of you during the entire flight time.
• On a positive note, sitting in the 1st row you will have enough legroom so that none of the passengers in front will throw their back of the passenger seat on you.

10th row: it is located directly in front of the 1st emergency exit. This means that you will have to sit strictly upright for the entire flight, since such seats do not recline. This fact is caused by security issues. In the event of a critical situation on board, the reclined backrests can obstruct access to the emergency exit.

11th row: located at some distance from the previous one for similar reasons. There is enough space in front to comfortably stretch your legs, to stand up without disturbing your neighbors. In addition, there are only 2 seats in this row on either side of the aisle - ideal for couples traveling.

There are several inconveniences:

• There are no windows near these places.
• The tables are located on the armrests, for this reason they cannot be moved.
• Do not place in the aisle and on the floor carry-on baggage.
• Due to the proximity of these seats to the emergency exit, passengers with animals or children, elderly people or people with disabilities are not allowed to fly there.

Despite their minor flaws, they are considered one of the best places on the Ural Airlines Airbus A321.

12th row(seats near portholes): comfortable because there are no other seats in front of them.

25th row: has the same restrictions as the seats in the 10th. But a significant plus can be considered the fact that there are only 2 seats here. With all the minuses, for couples this is the best option.

26th row: the pros, cons and restrictions in it are identical to those in the 11th row. Plenty of room to comfortably position your feet. You can get up without disturbing others. These seats are among the best seats in the cabin. However, seats located near the windows may lack one armrest due to the proximity of the emergency exit.

37th row aisle seat on the right: inconvenient due to the close location of the toilet. Other passengers will walk here all the time, squeeze along the aisle, touching you, a queue may form.

Seats on the left side of the 37th and 38th row: located directly next to the toilet. All the sounds from there, the constant movement of people and the slamming of doors will prevent you from enjoying the flight. Moreover, partitions are located behind the backs, because of which they do not recline and you will have to be in an upright position during the entire flight.

The rest of the seats in the cabin are considered standard.

The best places for those who are afraid to fly

For people suffering from aerophobia, it is especially important to inquire in advance about the location of the seats in the cabin. You need to choose an option in which you can feel safe during the flight. As a rule, in this case, places near the emergency exit are suitable. According to the Ural Airlines airbus A321 cabin layout, these are rows 10, 11, 12, 25 and 26.

Recommendation! Before buying air tickets, you need to decide in advance which seats you would like to take: at the aisle or near the window. In the first case, it will be convenient to get up when needed, without disturbing anyone. This is especially important when flying with children who often need to go to the toilet. However, these places have their drawbacks: passengers and flight attendants who will move along the aisle can cause you certain inconveniences. In addition, you will always have to let those who are sitting closer to the window pass through. Especially if the flight is long. In turn, the seats near the window can be attractive for those who like to watch the flight through them. But it won't matter if you are traveling at night.

The Airbus A321 is the largest member of the Airbus line of narrow-body aircraft. Narrow-body Airbus aircraft united in the so-called "A320 Family", which also includes A318, A319, A320 and the A321 itself. Recall that narrow-body aircraft are those with only one longitudinal aisle between the seats in the middle of the cabin.

The length of the A321 is 44.51 meters, with a full load, the flight range is 5950 km.

This model provides the lowest cost of 1 km flight per passenger among narrow-body aircraft, in other words, due to low fuel consumption and high passenger capacity, a flight of 1 km on the A321 costs one passenger less than on other narrow-body aircraft. The A321 is equipped with new wingtips, which Airbus calls Sharklets. We talked about them in detail in the previous article about the Airbus A320 aircraft. We only note that the new tips improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing, reducing fuel consumption and increasing the flight range.

From 2015, it is planned to introduce new engine versions for the A320 Family. The use of new engines together with wingtips will reduce fuel consumption by up to 15 percent and increase the flight range by an additional 900 km or payload by 2 tons.

In a two-class configuration, the A321 can accommodate 185, and in single-class cabins, up to 220 passengers. In the new A321neo, Airbus plans to increase passenger capacity by optimizing the use of the aircraft's cabin. New changes in the layout will increase the number of passenger seats up to 240, while still retaining 18-inch-wide comfort seats.

The A321, like the A320, has 4 doors (two on each side of the fuselage, in the nose and aft) and 4 escape hatches (two on each side of the fuselage, in the middle). But unlike the A320, the A321's escape hatches are not located side by side, but rather spaced apart.

Seating scheme in the Airbus A321 Aeroflot

Business Class.

As can be seen in the layout of the A321 cabin of Aeroflot, the first 7 rows are reserved for the business class. There are 4 comfortable chairs in each row - two chairs on each side of the aisle. Although the A321 is a narrow-body aircraft, the cabin design allows for fairly wide seats.

From the business class seats, special attention should be paid to the first row. Its peculiarity is that directly in front of the first row there is a partition, for someone it is a plus, for someone a minus. You just need to take into account that by choosing the first row the entire flight you will have to admire the wall. But on the other hand, there is no one there to recline the back of the chair on you. The first row is a little closer to the toilet, but not so much that it causes any inconvenience.

The last row of the business class also has its own characteristics. Firstly, it is close to the noisier economy class, and secondly, there is a partition directly behind the last row of business class, and it is possible that the back of your chair will not recline completely.

Economy class

As you can see in the diagram, in the Aeroflot A321 cabin, the toilets are located in three places: in the bow for business class, in the middle of the cabin and in the rear for economy class.

8th row. This is the first row of economy class. Seats in this row are called Superior Seats and are among the best on the Airbus A321. They are located just after the escape hatches, which provide a fairly large legroom in front of the 8th row seats. You will not interfere with your neighbor (or he will) when you want to get up. A slight drawback of these chairs is that the armrests are motionless, since folding tables are mounted in them. This feature is found in other seats, which are located at a distance from the front row.

However, there are restrictions - it is usually forbidden to sit in this row for passengers with children or pets, as well as passengers with disabilities and elderly passengers. Also, you cannot put carry-on luggage at your feet, so as not to block the path to the emergency exit.

The two outermost seats of the 8th row (A and F in the diagram) are also distinguished by the fact that, due to the proximity to the emergency exit, it can be a little cold there, in the leg area. However, you can always ask the flight attendants for a blanket.

9 - 17 rows. Seats in these rows are common. There are no peculiarities. Here it works general rule- the closer to the nose of the plane, the earlier food and drinks are served and the richer the assortment will be. The closer to the end of the compartment, the closer to the toilet with all the ensuing consequences.

18th row. The close proximity to the toilet naturally has its drawbacks - queues at the toilet, possible smells, sounds of doors and water draining. In addition, behind the 18th row there is a toilet wall, which does not allow reclining the back of the chairs.

19th row. This is the first row of the second compartment of the economy class. As can be seen in the layout of the Aeroflot A321 cabin, these seats are located near the second pair of escape hatches. There are only 4 seats in this row, there are no extreme seats so as not to interfere with evacuation in case of an emergency. Of course, the advantage of this row is that there is a lot of legroom in front of the chairs, but this advantage is easily leveled by the proximity to the toilets. Row 19 is subject to the same restrictions as Row 8.

20th row. Places A and F are very good. There is a lot of free space in front of you, you can easily get up from your place, stretch your legs. These seats are also seats of superior comfort. The 4 remaining seats in the 20th row are regular seats.

21 - 30 rows. These are normal seats, just like the seats in rows 9-17. There are no peculiarities. The 30th row is close to the toilet, and places C and D, which are directly at the aisle, are also inconvenient because a queue can form next to you to the toilet.

31st row. This is the last row and has serious flaws. Not only the neighborhood with the toilet can ruin your mood, but also the fact that the backs in this row do not recline at all, since there is a wall immediately behind them.

Seating scheme in Airbus A321 of S7 airlines

Business class on the A321 S7 aircraft has only 2 rows, that is, 8 seats. There is a wall in front of the first row, and the seats in this row have the same characteristics as the seats in the first row of Aeroflot's A321 business class.

There is plenty of legroom in front of the second row. This row of business class is preferable, however, you also need to take into account that it is close to the noisy economy class.

Economy class.

3rd row. As can be seen in the A321 S7 cabin diagram, this row is located directly behind the partition that separates the economy class from the business class. The disadvantage of this row is that there is a wall directly in front of you, and you will have to rest your gaze on it for the entire flight. But on the other hand, no one will tilt the back of their seat on you, and your knees will not rest on the seat in front of the passenger. There is enough space in front of you, but you will not be able to stretch your legs.

Of the shortcomings, it can also be noted that folding tables are built into the armrests, which makes them motionless.

The big advantage of Economy Class front rows is that food and drinks are served on the plane from the bow. This means that passengers in the front rows will have a greater choice of food and drinks, and they will receive their meals earlier.

We do not have yet detailed information about the location of the seats near the escape hatches, so we will try to give general information and recommendations based on the layout of the A321 S7 cabin.

Places near escape hatches. The seats that are located in front of the emergency exit have a drawback - usually the backs of the seats do not recline or recline to a limited extent. The seats that are located after the emergency exit are extra comfort seats, as the distance to the front row is quite large and there is plenty of legroom. You can stretch your legs calmly, get up from your seat without disturbing your neighbor. A slight drawback is that the armrests of the chairs are motionless, since the pull-out table is built into the armrests. There are also restrictions for these seats - you cannot put carry-on luggage at your feet, passengers with children or pets, people with disabilities or the elderly cannot sit on these seats. In armchairs located directly it is a little cold near the escape hatch during the flight, but you can ask the flight attendants for a blanket.

Seats near the toilet. Please note that unlike Aeroflot's Airbus A321, S7 has toilets only in the bow for business class and in the tail of the aircraft for economy class, that is, there are no toilets in the middle of the cabin. This means that by choosing any seat other than the seats in the last row, you do not risk flying in the vicinity of the toilet. The last, 35th row is located in the immediate vicinity of the toilet with all the ensuing consequences. The flight may be accompanied by sounds of doors, water draining, and smells. There may also be a queue to go to the toilet in the aisle next to you. In this sense, two places in the 34th row on either side of the aisle are also undesirable.

All other places are normal. When choosing a seat, you also need to take into account the rule - the closer to the nose of the plane, the faster food is served, and the richer the range of food and drinks.

Seating scheme in the Airbus A321 of Ural Airlines

There are no business class seats in the A321 cabin of Ural Airlines, as you can see in the diagram, all 220 seats are economy class. The peculiarity of the cabin layout of this airline is that the toilets are located only in the bow and in the tail, that is, unlike Aeroflot, there are no toilets in the middle of the aircraft.

1st row. The first row has both advantages and disadvantages. First, it is close to the kitchen and the toilet. In addition, usually in such places, someone constantly comes, someone leaves, queues for the toilet, and so on. This means that during the flight you will be accompanied by sounds, noise and vanity emitted from there.

The disadvantage of the first row is the wall located directly in front of you. Although for some it is even an advantage, because there are no other passengers in front of you, no one will recline their seat back on you, no one bothers you. There is much more knee room than if there were chairs in front of you, which is also an advantage. But on the other hand, the whole flight to look at this wall is probably not very pleasant either, it gives the impression of a closed space. Also note that folding tables are built into the armrests, which is why the armrests cannot be raised.

2-9 rows. These are ordinary places, they do not have any peculiarities. However, it should be remembered that food and drinks on board the aircraft are served from the bow, so the further you sit from the bow, the later you will receive food, and the less the assortment will be.

10th row. Seats in this row are lacking. The 10th row is located directly in front of the emergency hatches, which is why the backs of the seats do not recline or recline not completely, so as not to block the path to the emergency exit.

11th row. As you can see in the Ural Airlines A321 cabin diagram, there are only 4 seats in this row, that is, there are no two extreme seats so as not to interfere with the emergency exit. These are some of the best places by plane. Their advantage is that there is more free legroom in front of you. You can calmly stretch your legs, get up from your place without disturbing anyone. If you are traveling together, then you need to take a closer look at these places, because the third seat is missing, but there is also no porthole. Since the distance to the front row is large, the folding tables are not located in the backs of the front seats, but in the armrests, which is why they do not rise. These seats have the same restrictions as the 8th row of the Aeroflot A321.

12th row. Extreme places (at the window) in this row are very good. There are no seats ahead, plenty of room. Very comfortably.

13-24 rows. The seats in these rows are ordinary.

25th row. The seats in this row are the same as in the 10th row.

26th row. The seats in this row repeat the characteristics of the 11th row, but all 6 seats are present here. However, seats A and F in this row, due to the proximity to the emergency exit, may be slightly sloped, and one armrest may also be missing. In addition, due to the proximity to the hatches, it can be a little chilly here. However, you can ask the flight attendants for a blanket.

27-36 rows. The seats in these rows are ordinary, of course, the closer to the end of the cabin and, accordingly, to the toilets, the worse.

37-38 rows. These are the worst places on this plane. Neighborhood with a toilet does not bode well. The flight will be accompanied by sounds of doors, water draining, possibly smells, etc. And the places near the aisle in these rows are also bad in that a queue can form next to you for the restroom. Of the seats in these rows, seats E and F of the 37th row are more preferable, which do not border on the toilet and are not located at the aisle.

Seating scheme in Airbus A321 of Nordwind airlines

There is no business class.

1st row. The 1st row repeats the characteristics of the 1st row of A321 Uralavia.

2-10 rows. These are common places. However, the backrests of the F seats in the 9th row and the entire 10th row do not recline or recline to a limited extent. This is done for safety reasons, as there are emergency hatches immediately behind the 10th row. Regardless, note that there are only two seats to the right of the aisle in row 10. If you are traveling together, then these places could be a good choice. But the porthole, of course, is missing.

11th row. These are luxury seats and are located behind the emergency exit. These seats repeat the advantages and disadvantages of the 8th row seats of the Aeroflot A321, which can be read about above.

12-24 rows. These are common places. Rows 23-24 repeat the characteristics of rows 9-10.

The cabin of the A321 aircraft of the Nordwind airline.

25 row. Seats of increased comfort, they repeat the advantages and disadvantages of the 11th row.

26-36 rows. The usual places are located here. The aisle seats in the 36th row have a drawback - people will accumulate near you, wanting to get to the toilet.

Row 37. Worst seats on this plane. This is the last row, the seats are located right next to the toilets, with all the ensuing consequences, which can be read about above.

What is the Airbus A321, where to see the layout of the cabin, how to choose best places in "Aeroflot" - hardly anyone thought about these questions when buying tickets.

In recent years, passenger air transportation has become increasingly popular. Of course, it is more convenient and reliable than traveling. by land transport... And you can save time, especially if you urgently need to get somewhere.

The demanded airliner of Aeroflot is Airbus А321. People who travel a little do not know what kind of plane it is and what kind of comfort awaits them. But, as with other planes, the main thing is to choose the right places to travel.

Consider the advantages and disadvantages of flying on the A321 liner, the layout of the Aeroflot company cabin, the modification of the Airbus and the best seats.

Description of Airbus А321 and its technical characteristics

Airbus А321-200

The plane is passenger. He became the next model after the A320.

It appeared on Russian airlines in 1994. The main developer is Airbus.

But, despite the fact that the liner has been produced for more than a decade, its production continues to this day. This is due to the reliability of the aircraft and the high demand for use in passenger transportation.

In total, there are two models of Airbus A321, which is confirmed by Wikipedia, they have different modifications - A321-100 and A321-200:

1. А321-100 was developed by the company's employees in 1993. In the same year, the plane took off into the sky and passed its certification. Since the plane has proven itself on the positive side, in 1993 it began to be mass-produced. And, importantly, the airbuses of this modification are produced to this day.
2. А321-200 with increased take-off weight, as well as increased flight range. The liner was developed for two years from 1994 to 1996. Initially, it was created as a competitor to the Boeing liner, the customer who first bought the plane was a German company. They ordered the plane even before it was put into mass production. Considering reliable technical characteristics, the aircraft is still being produced today.

Specifications liner:

1. In flight, it reaches a speed of 890 km / h.
2. The flight range with a maximum load is 6,000 km without refueling.
3. The maximum A321 can rise to an altitude of 11,900 km.
4. The engine installed on the aircraft is produced by Airbus and belongs to the CFMI CFM56-5A / 5B modification.
5. The wingspan is 34.1 meters.
6. The height of the aircraft is about 12 meters.
7. The cockpit of aircraft of various modifications practically does not differ from one another. Thanks to this, pilots can change from one to the other without any problems.
8. The plane is 44.51 meters long.
9. In flight, it shows fairly decent performance, since the fuel consumption is minimal.
10. The liners are equipped with reliable engines, and therefore each passenger can be calm about their safety in flight.

Its useful to note: In 2015, Airbus was redesigned and new engines were installed on the aircraft, giving even more confidence in comfort and safety.

The main distinguishing feature of Airbus aircraft is that all cockpits are made according to the same principle. Therefore, the pilot only needs to complete one course, and after that he can control passenger liner, and then cargo.

Location of seats

Aeroflot uses two types of Airbus A321 for passenger transportation. How many seats are there? One is economy class and is designed for 220 seats, and the second combines business class and economy class seats. This liner is designed for 185 passenger seats. Consider the location of seats in the Airbus 321 two-class layout, since this type is in high demand.

Seat map in Airbus А321 by modifications

As in other aircraft, the business class is located in the bow of the airliner. According to Airbus scheme Industrie А321, business class - these are ranks from first to seventh. The seats are actually worth choosing, since the distance between the seats is large enough to pass freely. In addition, the chairs themselves are more comfortable and the menu is more varied.

The most popular are the seats that are near the window or porthole. This is due to the fact that passers-by do not bother vacationers. And of course - an unforgettable view from the window.

However, there are also seats in business class that are not entirely favorable for passengers, and this can be seen in the photo of the cabin of Airbus 321. For example, seats on the first and seventh rows. This is due to the fact that the first row is located close to the toilets, and the seventh row is located next to the office premises. As a result, there will be a constant movement of passengers and personnel. Also, given the proximity of the location, the light will constantly be on both day and night, so it is unlikely that you will be able to get enough sleep. The seventh row is also not worth choosing, since immediately behind it is the partition leading to the economy class. Therefore, the sounds coming from the adjacent cabin will not allow you to rest in flight.

We pass to the economy class salon. Looking at it, we can immediately say that the location of the seats in the Airbus A321 of this type is not very convenient. Firstly, there is only one passage, and the seats are located three in a row. There are seats from 8 to 31. But despite the fact that these seats are of a lower class, the seats themselves are quite comfortable and practically do not differ from the first salon.

Note: when choosing seats in Economy Class, opt for row 8 seats. This is due to the fact that only the partition remains in front of the seats. They are especially convenient for tall people, since there is where to stretch your legs.

You can also opt for seats in the 20th row with the designations A and F. There is also a large space in front of the seats.

We have considered more convenient places. But, like in the other liner, there are unfortunate places here that you shouldn't buy tickets for. These are places located in the row 19 and 18, 31. They are also located next to the toilet, so it is not worth stopping your choice on them.

We have decided on the choice of places. Let's see what they say about the advantages and disadvantages of the A321.

How to choose the right seats in the Airbus А321

General recommendations on how to choose the best seats:

1. In order to proceed to the choice of a seat, focusing on the layout of the seats of the Airbus 321, it is enough to start deciding in which class you will fly.
2. If this is an economy class, then you should not choose seats in the last row, and the seats located next to the aisle are not quite suitable if you plan to relax on the flight.
3. When choosing seats in business class, you should not stop your choice on the first row seats, since, given the high cross-country ability, it will not be possible to calmly spend time in flight.
4. In addition, when choosing seats, be sure to pay attention to how much you are willing to spend on buying a ticket. Business class is much more expensive than economy class. Therefore, places in places, but also on the financial side of the issue should not be forgotten.

Based on the plan of the Airbus 321, you will be able to make the right choice.

Airbus А321 positive and negative points

First, about the merits:

• despite the fact that the first airliner was launched off the assembly line more than 20 years ago, its main advantage is its excellent performance, above all, flight performance;
• the carrying capacity is quite decent compared to other aircraft;
• sufficient passenger capacity;
• the passenger compartment is quite spacious;
• high sound insulation allows you to relax and enjoy the flight.

In fact, the liner is comfortable, comfortable, quiet and comfortable in it.

But among the positive qualities, there are also negative ones. One of them is that its first release was many years ago. That is why a large number of competitors have appeared in modern aircraft construction, which can compete both in terms of comfort and technical characteristics.

Despite the fact that in modern world There is a large selection of airliners, most often passengers opt for the A321 series aircraft. It is in it that you can sit comfortably.

In addition, if you use Aeroflot's services, you get a number of benefits:

• the professionalism of the pilots and personnel is striking;
• the cost of tickets is more favorable than in commercial companies;
• due to the correct approach to their duties, employees provide their passengers with greater reliability and comfort.

When choosing comfortable seats for your trip, pay attention to the Airbus 321 seating scheme. After all, how you will spend your time in flight depends on the right choice.

Low-cost operators and charter flights fly only in economy classes, then the number of passenger seats increases to 220 seats. If you want your flight to be comfortable, it is better to familiarize yourself with the aircraft layout in advance. The layout of the Airbus 321 is presented on the Aeroflot website, making it easy to find the best seats before your trip.

Now it is worth taking a closer look at the configuration of this Airbus at Aeroflot. The most popular air carrier has 30 A321 aircraft and operates regular domestic, international and charter flights. The figure below shows the layout of the Airbus A321 cabin to make it easier for passengers to navigate. There are business class and economy class seats.

The best seats on the A321

So, we go to the website of the most popular air carrier, find the section "Reference Information", then "On Board", then "Seating Scheme", and then choose the Airbus A321 (cabin layout) - the best places of Aeroflot can be well seen here. It is worth dwelling in more detail on the best and worst seats on the plane, we will explain why it is better to take this or that seat or not.

As you can see from the picture, the best places the eighth row and seats A and F in "line" 20 are considered. Rows 1-7 are intended for business class passengers, here the distance between the seats is wider, the passage is larger. Nevertheless, it is better not to choose the first and seventh rows, because the first row is located near the toilet, and the seventh row is close to the economy class, and there, as a rule, it is noisier than in the business class.

Good, standard, bad seats in the Airbus A321

Looking at the A321 plane (diagram), the best seats seem to be in eighth row... The point is that there is emergency exit so there is plenty of legroom. And getting up from these places, you will not bother any of the neighbors. Also, these places are located at the beginning of the plane, which means that food will begin to be delivered from your seats. The eighth row is rightfully considered a place of increased comfort.

Rows 9 to 17 there are standard places, but already row 18 differs in that there is a toilet nearby and this is not very comfortable for passengers, you will almost always have:

• queue to the toilet room;
• people walk often;
• can get caught if you are sitting in the outer row.

Passengers 19 rows there will be enough free space to put your feet, only a toilet is located nearby, which can spoil the impression when traveling. But the seats of the 20th row differ favorably by the presence of free legroom, and by the presence of a porthole through which you can admire the beauty of flying countries, seas, oceans.

Rows 21 to 30 followed again by the standard places, which do not stand out in any way, either from the good or from the bad side. But places C and D of the 30th row and the whole 31st are considered bad. "Line" 31 is, again, near the toilet, and the backs of the seats of the last row do not recline. Food and drinks will be brought to you last, there is no way to speed up the process, you will have to wait until the flight attendants serve all the passengers sitting in front of you. Take these places only as a last resort, if you need to fly, and there are no other options.
