Transaero is the first private airline in the Russian Federation. Founded in 1990, it has successfully transported passengers to over 260 destinations worldwide. Departures of such liners are carried out from the airports of Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 2013, the air carrier, together with Sberbank Leasing, signed an agreement for the supply of Boeing-737-800 aircraft. Transaero received a narrow-body aircraft, in which passengers were provided with access to mobile communications and the Internet for the first time.
Before this, this service was possible only in wide-body airliners. For the convenience of customers, a modern Panasonic GCS satellite system was installed. Next to each passenger seat in the cabin of the Boeing-737-800 (Transaero) there is a USB connector. People can use it at any time and recharge their phone or laptop.
The Boeing 737-800s acquired by the company operate medium-haul flights on domestic and international routes. They have two comfort classes: businessand economy class. Consider the example of the Boeing-737-800 aircraft, the layout of the Transaero cabin.
Airplane with 154 seats
Transaero purchased airliners of two categories: 154 and 158 passenger seats. They have a different arrangement of passenger seats. Consider first the Boeing 737-800, the layout of the Transaero cabin, designed for a smaller number of customers. This image clearly shows the location of various services, toilets. Arrows indicate emergency exits. Seats in gray are business class, red are seats in economy class.
The liner has two separate compartments for seats of different categories of comfort. The first part is located in the nose of the aircraft, immediately after the cockpit and sanitary facilities. The business class is represented by 16 seats, located two seats to the left and right of the aisle in four rows. The distance between the seats for the convenience of customers is spacious, it is 130 cm. The first rows are considered the best, as there is a little more legroom in front of them. But, judging by the feedback from passengers, this division is purely formal, since all seats on airplanes are very comfortable.
Business Class Seats
Passengers who buy tickets for the Boeing-737-800 aircraft, according to the Transaero salon scheme, can choose the appropriate seat for themselves. If we consider seats in business class, then the choice will depend only on the preferences of the client. If he has to fly at night andthere will be an opportunity to oversleep the entire distance to the final destination, it is better to choose seats by the porthole. In this case, no one will disturb the passenger during the flight, and if he needs to go to the toilet at night, then the distance between the seats is sufficient to carefully get past the sleeping neighbor without pushing him.
If you choose seats near the aisle, then flight attendants carrying carts with food or drinks can interfere, and a neighbor will sometimes want to go out to need. In the case when a passenger needs to fly with a baby in his arms, there will be a frequent need to walk somewhere. In order not to interfere with a neighboring passenger, it will be more convenient to sit in a chair, which is located at the aisle. In such situations, when planning a flight on a Boeing-737-800, you need to carefully consider the layout of the Transaero cabin, read the reviews and recommendations of other passengers, and then buy a ticket.
If there are no special preferences, and the choice is only for the quality of the comfort of the seats, then the business class is the best fit. The seats in this part of the cabin are all leather, soft, comfortable, with high headrests and soft armrests.
Economy class
Further, after the business class seats, according to the scheme declared by the carrier, the Boeing 737-800 (Transaero may differ from other companies in this respect) has 24 rows of seats for the budget comfort class - economic. Separated from the business class by a simple screen, these seats are located three on each side ofpassage. The only toilet intended for all passengers of this class is located at the end of the cabin.
The chairs in this part of the cabin are also soft and comfortable, but the distance between the rows is narrower, it is 85 cm. But this is quite enough to go to the toilet without disturbing the neighbors.
The most convenient places
After reading numerous opinions about the "Boeing-737-800" ("Transaero"), according to the reviews, you can distribute the seats in its cabin into comfortable and uncomfortable. The best passengers call the seats located immediately behind the business class. Noise and vibration in this part is almost inaudible. Since the screen separating the different classes is fabric, sitting in such places, you can freely stretch your legs.
Also, passengers note the 18th row. It is located just behind the emergency exits, so there is also a larger gap in front of the seats. If we take into account the places in the 17th row, then people's opinions differ here. Some say there's a lot of legroom, while others don't like the fact that the seat backs can't be lowered.
Uncomfortable seats
Near the emergency exit there is also the 16th row, which in all sources is called the most inconvenient for a flight. Not only does the backrest not recline, but it also has the shortest distance to the previous row, leaving passengers with quite a bit of leg room.
Also, people are unhappy with the last row, where the seats end with toilets. It is noisy there, since the seats are located at the very tail of the plane, and eventired of the constant queue to the bathroom.
Three-class liner
Such aircraft are designed for 158 passengers. Here, in addition to business and economy classes, there is also a tourist one. For the legs, a distance of only 75 cm is provided. Passengers in row 20 have a slight advantage. Due to the screen between Economy and Tourist Class, the legroom is slightly longer.
Vibrations are felt more strongly in this cabin, a lot of noise. And the queue for the toilet is longer, as it is designed for clients of economic and tourist salons.
Familiarizing yourself with the layout of the cabin of two varieties of the Boeing 737-800, you can choose convenient seats and for little money.
