In late winter - early spring 2013, Aeroflot purchased 16 Boeing 777 300ER aircraft. Designed for long flights, they have a General Electric GE90 twin-engine turbofan engine. These aircraft were created in the early 90s, their drawings were completely made on computers. This is the first line of machines produced in this way.
Another feature is the six-wheel chassis, providing a soft landing, as well as a very roomy and at the same time comfortable interior for all passengers. Let's take a closer look at the layout of the Boeing 777 300ER cabin.
Aircraft interior
All aircraft of the 777 model have a peculiar curvilinear interior of the cabin, the dimensions of the shelves for hand luggage and windows have been increased. Cabin seats, kitchens and toilet cubicles are mobile, and airlines place them in aircraft at their discretion.
If we consider the layout of the Boeing 777 300ER cabin, then compared to other representatives of this company, the aircraft has a greater length and passenger capacity. It is 10 meters longer than previous modifications, andrespectively, accommodates from 350 to 550 people on board.
There are many toilet cubicles on board, where the project engineers came up with a new hydraulic hinge system on the toilets that closes the lid automatically and slowly. There is a kitchen where you can order drinks and fresh food. After all, the range of flights 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 you will want to eat well.
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, there are also places for the crew to rest, located directly above the cockpit. Changed pilots can go there, sit in comfortable chairs or relax lying on the bed.
For charter flights, special VIP lounges are used, where all seats with more comfortable flight conditions have been created.
Salon scheme
Let's look at the number and quality of seats on this aircraft, owned by Aeroflot. According to the feedback from passengers, all the seats are very comfortable, but we need to find out which ones are the best, find the flaws and talk about them. To do this, we offer you a Boeing 777 300ER (Aeroflot) cabin layout.
In total it accommodates 402 passengers. They are located in three service sectors and have a different category of comfort.
On the layout of the Boeing 777 300ER cabin, business class, comfort and economy are highlighted. Class. We will tell you more about them.
Business Class Seats
On the nose of the aircraft, the first five rows of seats can accommodate 30 passengers. These places are located on two chairs on the left, on the right and in the middle of the cabin. Side seats 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 catching a neighbor. Judging by the layout of the cabin, the best seats in the Boeing 777 300ER are business class.
The chairs here are made as comfortable as possible. A monitor with a screen diagonal of 15.4″ is placed in front of each passenger. The chair itself has an interesting structure. Its plastic back stays in place, while the soft part folds forward. So even if the neighbor in front unfolds the chair completely and goes to sleep on the formed bed, it will not cause any inconvenience to the person sitting behind.
The photo shows how the seat unfolds in this sector of the aircraft. But besides this, on the Boeing 777 300ER (according to the cabin scheme), the best seats are occupied by passengers who have additional options for ordering food individually in a restaurant. You can make a reservation only when you board the aircraft. Your favorite dish will be prepared and served. But, of course, for such a service you will have to pay a round sum of money, because a plane ticket in this class is not cheap.
Comfort class
The next degree of comfort in the Boeing 777 300ER cabin layout is seats from rows 11 to 16. Each of them has 8 chairs, with enough aisle.
This compartment is designed for 48 passengers. Above each seat there is a small lamp, in front - an individual monitor, measuring 10.6 inches.
For the convenience of passengers, a comfortable footrest has been made for the legs, and in sleep mode, a special system has been developed for extending 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 cabin layout, in the Boeing 777 300ER, the best seats in economy class are located in the aisle seats. There are double seats at the windows, if a couple is traveling, they will be more comfortable together.
The distance between the seats in this class is 90 cm. Some passengers find the seats in front of the partition with the toilet the most convenient. There is more space for the legs and you can stretch them forward.
The most inconvenient in this class, if you look at the layout of the Boeing 777 300ER cabin, people call the last places in each compartment. That's because these seats can't fully fold back. This makes it difficult to get into a comfortable sleeping position.
First class aircraft of the JET fleet
In long-distance aircraft flying to China, to the North, to Europe, the prefix Jet is attributed to the name of the aircraft. The best seats in the Boeing 777 300ER JET are first class, which has only 8 seats. They are fully laid out, turning into a bed. Apart fromThis chair is an eight-point massage chair with lumbar support.
The first-class sector is closed with doors and you can invite a guest into your compartment, for whom there is a small sofa.
In the personal compartment there is LED lighting, a 23-inch monitor, communication, power supply, lockers for personal belongings. Everything is done for the convenience of distinguished guests. But the ticket price is appropriate.
JET business class
If you carefully consider the cabin layout of the Boeing 777 300ER JET, we will see quite good seats in the business class. Location of seats - 1 - 2 - 1. There are chairs at an angle of 45 degrees in the direction of the aircraft, in the shape of a Christmas tree. They unfold completely so that passengers can sleep well during the flight.
Of the 30 seats, the only seats that passengers dislike are the ones next to the galley. They complain that every time the curtain was raised, all the smells from the kitchen came out into the salon. Although mostly positive reviews.
Comfortable monitors are built into the partitions, a power supply is suitable, where you can recharge your razor or phone.
The rest of the seats on the plane are occupied by passengers sitting in economy class.
When buying tickets, especially if it is a long-distance flight, it is recommended to 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 seats in the economy class, where the kitchen is far away, the toilet too, but the passage, where there is more legroom, is nearby.
