The Boeing 767-300 is one of the most popular and safest wide-body aircraft of the Boeing Company, which willingly operates most of the world's air carriers, including in Russia.
Boeing 767-300, designed as an extended version of the 767-200, made its first flight in 1982. Since then, more than a thousand airliners of this modification have been produced. Thanks to the technical characteristics, impressive flight range, reliability of the Boeing (B) 767-300 (the cabin layout also indicates a convenient seating arrangement), this aircraft continues to be successfully produced even now, despite the emergence of new families of these airliners.
Azur Company
"Azur Air" is a solid representative of domestic air carriers. The company has been known under this name since 2015. Until the end of 2014, it was called "Kateavia" and specialized in flights to the Volga region and Siberia. Along with the rebranding, the scale and direction of the company's flights have changed.
Today, the main activity of Azur air is flights to the resorts of Spain, Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, and India. At the same time, the company's aircraftmakes many domestic flights. "Azur Air" is constantly developing and improving the quality of service. In 2016, she was recognized as the best among charter carriers.
Boeing 767-300 interior map
Azur air by 2017 has an air fleet of 20 aircraft. Thanks to this, in the first half of 2017, it came in fourth place in Russia in terms of the number of passengers carried.
Among these aircraft, eight are the Boeing 763-300, the cabin layout of which, with advice on choosing seats, we suggest you consider further.
In the aircraft, depending on the layout, up to 336 economy class seats are installed. In other trim levels, the business class has been removed, so, under generally equal conditions, the seats differ only in nuances. But the company has introduced a special concept - Azur Space - for seats with increased comfort, which have increased legroom. These seats cost more and are not suitable for disabled people, children or pregnant women.
What are the best seats to choose on the Boeing 767-300? The layout of the cabin clearly shows that all the seats are divided into three rows: two side rows of two seats each and a central one, in which there are four seats at once. For the convenience of a large number of passengers, there are seven toilets in the cabin:
- four - in the tail;
- two - in the center of the plane;
- one - in the bow.
It is the arrangement of chairs and toilets that determines the convenience of the place.
The most convenient places - Azur Space. Passengers can comfortably arrange on themfeet in increased space in front of the seat, which is especially important for tall people and on long flights:
- row 1 - whole;
- row 14 - places in the middle (C, D, E);
- rows No. 16 and 33 - places on the sides (A, B, G, H);
- row 32 - seats in the middle (C, D, E, F).
All double seats on the sides of the cabin are comfortable for traveling together. It is pleasant and easy to fly with a loved one: there will be no argument with him because of the porthole, it is easier to disturb him, you can have conversations with him or be comfortably silent, he will not bother you with idle questions, you can put your head on his shoulder.
But there are obviously bad seats in the Boeing 767-300. The layout of the Azur air cabin should definitely be considered, as this will help to avoid them in advance. The worst row is considered to be the last row in the tail. It is located near the toilet, it has a limited backrest, people are constantly walking around, talking, slamming the toilet door and turning the flight into a grueling ordeal.
Slightly more comfortable, but still uncomfortable, two middle seats (D, E) in the center row. There are people sitting on both sides of the passenger, they have to be disturbed when going to the toilet, in addition, there is nothing to really lean on.
Pegas Fly Company
Pegasus Fly, a small domestic airline, is based in Krasnoyarsk with branches in Khabarovsk and Moscow. For a long time she was engaged in domestic transportation, but since 2013 she began to organize charters to popular Russian resorts in Thailand, the Dominican Republic, the Maldives,Vietnam, Seychelles. The fleet consists of 8 airliners, among which 5 are Boeing 767-300.
Scheme of salon "Pegasus Fly"
Unlike the planes of Azur air, the Pegasus airliners have a business class. Prices in it, of course, are higher, but the level of service and comfort is much higher than the economy class in the Boeing 767-300. The layout of the Pegasus Fly salon is presented below.
The first two rows of business class stand apart, they have 12 seats, which, when unfolded, turn into beds. In addition, the passenger has plenty of legroom, a varied menu, fast service, sleep masks, pillows, blankets.
The main question is: what are the best seats to take in the Boeing 767-300 economy class? The layout of the cabin indicates the particular convenience of rows No. 3 and No. 19, where there is more legroom than in the rest. For those who fly together, especially with a child, it is better to choose twin seats on the sides of the aircraft. Firstly, strangers will not disturb, and secondly, you can entertain yourself with landscapes passing through the windows of the Boeing 767-300 porthole.
The cabin layout is a good tool when choosing a location. For example, it is enough to study it for a couple of minutes to understand that in Pegasus Fly airliners it is better to avoid buying tickets for rows that are in the middle of the cabin or near the toilets, where there are crowded and noisy.
