Transaero is the first private airline in the Russian Federation. Founded in 1990, it successfully transports passengers to more than 260 destinations around the world. Departures of such airliners are carried out from the airports of Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 2013, an air carrier, together with Sberbank Leasing, concluded a contract for the supply of Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Transaero received a narrow-body aircraft in which passengers were first given access to mobile communications and the Internet.
Prior to this, such a service was only possible in wide-body airliners. For the convenience of customers, a modern Panasonic GCS satellite system was installed. Each passenger seat in the Boeing 737-800 (Transaero) has a USB connector. People can use it at any time and recharge their phone or laptop.
Acquired by Boeing-737-800, medium-haul flights are operated on domestic and international routes. They have two comfort classes: business and economy class. Consider the example of a Transaero cabin using the example of a Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
Airplane for 154 seats
Transaero bought two categories of air liners: for 154 and 158 passenger seats. They have a different arrangement of passenger seats. First, consider the Boeing 737-800, a Transaero cabin layout designed for fewer customers. This image perfectly shows the location of various services, toilets. Arrows indicate emergency exits. Gray indicates the business class seats, red indicates seats in the economy class.
The liner has two separate compartments for places 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 in two seats on the left and right of the aisle in four rows. The distance between the seats is spacious for the convenience of customers, is 130 cm. The first rows are considered the best, since they have a bit more legroom in front of them. But judging by the reviews of passengers, this division is purely formal, since all the seats in the aircraft are very comfortable.
Business Class Seats
Passengers buying Boeing 737-800 plane tickets, according to the scheme of the Transaero cabin, can choose their own suitable seat. If we consider places in the business class, then here the choice will depend only on the preferences of the client. If he has to fly at night and will have the opportunity to oversleep all the distance to the final destination, then it is better to choose places at the window. In this case, no one will bother the passenger during the flight, and if he needs to go to the toilet at night, the distance between the seats is sufficient to gently get past the sleeping neighbor without pushing him.
If you select places near the aisle, then the stewardesses carrying carts with food or drinks can interfere, and the neighbor will sometimes want to go out of need. In the case when the passenger needs to fly with the baby in his arms, there will often be a need to go somewhere. In order not to interfere with the neighboring passenger, it will be more convenient to nevertheless be located in the chair, which is located at the aisle. In such situations, when planning a flight on a Boeing 737-800, the scheme of the Transaero cabin needs to be carefully considered, read reviews and recommendations of other passengers, and then buy a ticket.
If there are no particular preferences, and the choice is only for the quality of the comfort of the seats, then the business class will do just fine. The seats in this part of the passenger compartment are all leather, soft, comfortable, with high head restraints 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 in this from other companies) 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 of the aisle. 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 already 85 cm. But this is enough to go to the toilet without disturbing the neighbors.
The most convenient places
After re-reading the numerous opinions about the Boeing 737-800 (Transaero), according to reviews, you can distribute the seats in his cabin as comfortable and uncomfortable. The best passengers are called the seats located immediately behind the business class. Noise and vibration in this part is almost inaudible. Since the screen that separates the different classes is fabric, then sitting in such places, you can freely stretch your legs.
Also, passengers note 18 row. It is located immediately 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 here the opinions of people differ. Some say that there is a lot of legroom, while others do not like that the backs of seats cannot be lowered.
Inconvenient seats
Near the emergency exit there is also the 16th row, which in all sources is called the most inconvenient for flight. Not only does the back not fall, so there is also the shortest distance to the previous row, so that passengers have quite a bit of space for their legs.
Also, people are unhappy with the last row, where the seats end with toilets. It is noisy there, since the seats are located in the very tail of the plane, and even the constant queue to the bathroom bothers.
Three-class liner
Such aircraft are designed for 158 passengers. Here, in addition to business and economy classes, there is also a tourist class. A distance of only 75 cm is provided for the legs. Passengers of the 20th row have a slight advantage. Due to the screen between the economy class and the tourist, the distance for the legs is slightly larger.
In this cabin vibrations are felt stronger, a lot of noise. And the turn to the toilet is larger, as it is designed for customers of economic and tourist salons.
Having examined in detail the scheme of the cabin of two varieties of the Boeing 737-800, you can choose convenient places for little money.
