The flight, regardless of how long it will last or not, in itself is exhausting, and even harmful. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to create at least some additional comfort for yourself, you need to use it. And one of such important nuances is the choice of the best seat on the plane.
To begin with, you need to realize that the ideal seat on the plane simply does not exist. You need to choose it individually for yourself, based on your needs, which I will talk about in this article now. So, for example, I like to sit near the engine by the window, where, in fact, the noisiest place is dangerous and half of the wing covers the view. But this is due to my first flight and habit. Therefore, let's look at the root of the problem: how to choose a seat on the plane based on your personal needs?
Airplane seat classes
So, if you start like this, roughly divide all the seats on the plane, then initially they can be divided into economy class, business class and first class seats.
- Economy class seats are the cheapest class of seats on the plane, which are mainly used by travelers (although, of course, the President of Lithuania also flies in economy class and nothing else). This is the base rate. Typically, these are three rows of seats (two rows for narrow fuselage aircraft) with three seats for each row. The legroom is minimal. Comfort is about the same as in a minibus: nothing superfluous, you are simply transported from point A to point B.
- Business class seats are seats that are closed off from economy class by curtains. There is a little more legroom, plus - fewer seats (2 chairs in a row). In addition, à la carte meals and free alcoholic beverages are included in the ticket price. However, at the same time, the prices are about 5 times higher than the economy class, and you will not notice much difference, especially on flights in a couple of hours. For that matter, you can buy food separately and in economy class, the difference will be only 10 - 20 bucks.
- First class seats are an alternative to business class on intercontinental flights. The prices are higher than business class every 10 times. For this you will register on board faster, get high class services and luxurious seats (for example, in some planes, the chair folds out into a sofa, that is, full-fledged recumbent seats! Is it worth it? Everyone thinks for himself here, but this is clearly not a topic for our blog, we are here discussing how to travel cheap and beautiful 🙂
Therefore, most likely, for budget tourist, the choice is economy class, except for cases when it is a free upgrade in the form of a bonus, as, for example, at UIA.
Seat selection on the plane
So, as I said, the most best places- they are individual. And you must decide on that. Often these questions are asked before their first flight. I also shoveled the entire Internet then for information about which place to choose. Then, over time, you will find your ideal option, on which you will feel comfortable, and will, in the future, try to take a seat on the plane for yourself. In the meantime, let's look at the most common needs when choosing places.
The safest seats on the plane
In general, the concept of safe or dangerous places in the plane is rather blurry. This is which side to look at. After all, you need to understand that there is no chance to survive in a crashed plane from a height, wherever the passenger is sitting. But the greatest number of accidents occurs, often during takeoff / landing, as a result of errors of pilots or airport staff, due to poor coverage and the condition of the runway or other factors. In this case, you can be saved. But again, how can you tell where it will be safer? After all, the plane can crash its nose into the fence, or it can hook the trees with its tail. The engine could explode or the chassis could be locked.
I'm not telling this to scare you. And just to show, there is no safest place. However, you can choose a location near the emergency exit. This is, in most cases, still safer. But most importantly, it is still your psychological conviction that there is the safest place on the plane. You can find out which seat will be near the emergency exit on a particular plane from the seat layouts, which we will talk about below.
The most comfortable seats on the plane
The nicest and comfortable places the seats in the first row are usually counted. There will be no other passengers in front of you, which means that you can comfortably stretch your legs, which will make them less numb. Especially true for people with my height (which is 189 centimeters). Although, I must confess, you don't suffer much in two hours in the middle ranks. In addition, in this part, the plane shakes less when it enters the turbulence zone and closer to the flight attendants. But to go to the toilet is far enough. And be prepared for babies and small children to be nearby, because these are usually places for them. Not everyone will be happy with such a neighborhood.
Seats for children and infants on airplanes
Children must fly either with special seat belts attached to their parents (infants), or in a separate seat (children over a certain age, depending on airline regulations). There are no special seats for such passengers, especially since babies are often carried free of charge. On the other hand, it is recommended to buy the very first row. There more places a, sometimes there are special places for feeding your children with formula. In addition, there they will interfere with fewer people, while they will not recline the back of the chair in front of the seated person.
Seats in the tail of the plane
Since, when falling from a great height, the plane falls nose forward, then the permissions least of all capture the tail. This was the reason for the placement of the "black box" in the tail section of the aircraft, and this also served to the opinion that the safest places are here. As I said, this is more of a psychology of self-hypnosis, but there are advantages here as well: as a rule, on not very popular flights, there are much fewer passengers who will bother you. The same applies to passengers with children - as a rule, you will not meet them here, if this is not a charter somewhere to places of mass Russian tourism in high seasons.
Sleeping places on the plane
Berths are found in first class on flights operated by companies such as Emirates on long-haul flights. I have not met, and saw only in pictures, and photos of other travelers. It’s not even interesting.
Standing places on the plane
Science fiction, replicated by the yellow press 😉 Naturally, safety standards prohibit such nonsense, and it has no basis. But the yellow press needs to somehow be promoted, as well as unsuccessful Internet projects, therefore, from time to time they give out such pearls that, allegedly, standing places will appear soon.
Bad seats on the plane
In my opinion, the worst are the seats in the tail near the toilet, directly above the wing, from where you can not see anything, and of course the seats in the row in front of the emergency exit, which does not recline.
Location (diagrams) of seats on the plane
And now, it seems, you have already decided on where and what place you want. But before you start choosing a seat via the Internet or at the reception (if you are one of the first to come there, as a rule, they do not mind giving you good seats. So, in Sarajevo, where there was online registration, they themselves gave an excellent seat, and even closed the registration for a seat nearby, so I flew like a king =)), you need to find out which seat, number and row you need. For this, there are diagrams of aircraft of various models.
Typically, the location of the seat on airplanes different airlines they do not differ. that is, the location of the seats of Transaero and Aeroflot on the same aircraft models will be the same, unless it is an individual order of the company (as, for example, with berths).
Where to find out how the seats are located on the plane
There is such a wonderful service called Seat Guru. It contains diagrams of a huge number of aircraft on different flights with passenger reviews. Minus - I did not find some large low-cost companies in the database. But you can find diagrams of other airlines for the same aircraft model. The only difference will be in the reviews. But what places are near the partition, what are near the window, where the wings will obstruct your view - you will know quite accurately.
For example, below is a diagram of the Airbus 320 from Aeroflot:
And here is a diagram of the seats of the Boeing 777 and Boeing 737.
Very soon you will find out which seats are right for you, and if possible, you will book exactly them. Unfortunately, some low-cost airlines like WizzAir cannot choose a seat in advance, so be prepared to fly in any seat.
From my own experience, I can give the following tips:
- Try to choose and reserve your seats on the airline's website yourself. I have instructions on some of them on my blog, for example: self-check-in with Turkish Airlines.
- If you do not have a reserved seat, then try to be among the first at the check-in counter and ask: give you a good place and, if the flight is not very popular, that would leave the neighboring place empty. As a rule, the same people work at check-in, like you, who understand that you want to fly in comfort. Therefore, such requests, made with a sweet smile and the right degree of warmth in your voice, as a rule, will guarantee you a good place.
- When flying in low-cost airlines where seats are not reserved for free, never get ahead of the crowd. Firstly, because you will be taken to the plane by bus, where, if you go down last, you will also be the last to enter, which means you will go out first, and you will not be pressed against the back wall. Secondly, if there are a lot of people on the flight, you can go last.
- And again, low-cost. If you see that a full house is planned for the flight, stay on the field until the last, until you are driven onto the plane. Your task is to be the last to enter. The reason is simple: companies often sell slightly more seats than are available, since about 90% of passengers are on the flight. Someone changes plans, another fails the trip, and the third will be late ... The calculation is simple: if there are not enough seats, then those who did not have enough will go ... or in places of increased comfort (like WizzAir with extra bed for legs), or in general in business class.
- When flying on flights crowded with Russian tourists who do not shine with intelligence, when sitting down, drop a few words in English. Very often I was asked to sit down to emergency exit, so that in the event of an emergency, he could react to the command and open the exit. In this row, many low-cost airlines have an increased comfort row with additional legroom. However, this applies mainly to physically strong men who, in an extreme situation, will not faint and will be able to open the hatch and help in the evacuation. Also note that in this row you cannot put under your feet carry-on luggage, sometimes the chairs do not recline.
- Choose the shady side. That is, so that the sun does not shine through the window. This will allow you to take pictures and simply observe from the window what is happening at the bottom. Since 99% of flights are carried out along the same route, then with the help of my instructions on how to find out where, how and when you fly on an airplane, spending 5 minutes of time, you will quickly find out where the sunny and where the shady side is. will be located during your flight.
The flight, regardless of how long it will last or not, in itself is exhausting, and even harmful. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to create at least some additional comfort for yourself, you need to use it. And one of such important nuances is the choice of the best seat on the plane.

Airbus will offer its customers a flight with an increased level of comfort. World renowned liner designer equip long-haul aircraft mobile sleeping places. The company plans to create sleeping areas in its cargo hold by 2020. Now only a limited line of Boeing liners can boast of personal sleeping cabins. "360" found out whether sleeping Airbus will be in demand from Russian carriers.

Airbus holding company and Zodiac Aerospace Corporation have begun joint development of mobile berths for A330 and A350 airliners, according to an official press release from Airbus. The designers are going to place modules with bunk beds in the cargo hold. At the same time, the sleeping modules will be designed in such a way that, if necessary, they can be replaced by cargo containers. Also, in the place of the cargo compartment, an area for active rest passengers, bar or playground.
Meanwhile, the "redevelopment" in the planes will not affect the level of flight safety, they promise in Airbus. The load and burst pressure of the aircraft fuselage and the loading system will not be affected. The passenger module will be located directly on the loading system.
It is expected that berths on the Airbus A330 can appear as early as 2020. In addition, the company is exploring the possibility of placing such places above luggage compartment in A350 XWB liners.
Such an arrangement of seats in liners may be of interest to large carriers with a wide network of flights, independent aviation expert Dmitry Adamidov noted in an interview with 360. According to him, such planes can be bought by airlines that want to attract new customers with an unusual service.
If Airbus designers manage to find a way to re-equip existing aircraft, then many companies will take advantage of this offer, as this will attract those customers who are willing to pay for increased comfort. Now Airbus A330 is in the fleet of many companies. For example, Aeroflot flies on these airliners in the domestic market.
Dmitry Adamidov.
So far, none of the airlines have applied for modified aircraft. As "360" was told in "Nordavia", the airlines do not plan to purchase such airliners, since their entire fleet consists only of Boeing aircraft.
Looking at competitors
The first aircraft equipped with berths appeared on international flights back in the mid-2000s. So, in 2005, the aircraft building concern Boeing released a new long-range aircraft Boeing Dreamliner 787. The liner is a wide-body twin-engine jet passenger aircraft that can fly up to 12 thousand kilometers and carry from 290 to 330 people, depending on the configuration. The estimated cost of such an aircraft is $ 250-300 million.
At the same time, Boeing designers can install personal sleeping cabins in the first class of the airliner by order of the airline. They represent a space enclosed by flexible shutters, inside which there is a wide armchair. If the passenger wishes, it can be transformed into a two-meter bed. V this moment most of these aircraft owned by the national airline United United Arab Emirates Etihad. True, the cost of such a comfortable flight is several times higher than the price of a standard flight. For a ticket on the Melbourne (Australia) - Abu Dhabi (UAE) route in an individual cabin, you will have to pay about 12 thousand dirhams, which in terms of dollars is more than three thousand "green". For comparison, a flight to the same destination in economy class will cost only 1,000 dirhams ($ 366).
Kazakh airline Air Astana also provides passengers with berths, but already in the economy class cabin. In 2015, the airlines launched such flights from Astana to London, Paris and Frankfurt. Sleeping economy "in Kazakh" consists of three chairs paired in one line and a set, which includes a mattress, pillows and a business-class duvet.

Despite the high cost of the flight, it is not always profitable for airlines to have airliners with an additional sleeping cabin, Oleg Panteleev, head of the analytical service of the information portal Aviaport, told 360. According to him, the big profit for the companies is brought by the total number of passengers, and not by the price range of ticket prices.
The fact is that now one of the key trends in the global aviation market is to reduce the cost of a passenger-kilometer. For this, companies are increasing the number of seats on board, and the comfort of passengers is ensured by special flexible seats. Therefore, liners with sleeping cabins only put on long-term regular flights where cabin occupancy is not critical for the airline

Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace have announced a revolutionary new product. For passengers economy class sleeping boxes will appear on planes. They will be located on lower deck aircraft, where cargo and suitcases of passengers are now flying. The iz.ru portal figured out when it will be possible to stretch your legs during a long flight.
Boxes with beds
The concept of modules with passenger berths was recently presented in Hamburg at the specialized exhibition Aircraft Interiors Expo 2018. This is the world's largest platform where the aviation industry presents everything that awaits us on airplanes in the distant and not very distant future.
What is the essence of the novelty presented by Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace? If the fuselage passenger aircraft divided in half, then in the upper part there is a passenger compartment, and on the bottom there is a cargo compartment.
Cargo - and it can be anything, from parcels of the Russian Post to gold bars - are transported in special containers. Here are the authors of the idea and propose to convert them into boxes for sleeping.
Judging by the photo, which was published on the Zodiac Aerospace website, the berths will be ennobled econom-class train RUSSIAN RAILWAYS . The passenger descends from the passenger compartment to the lower deck, finds free place, lays down on the bed, closes from everyone with a curtain and rests.
The video of the reconstruction of the new boxes was posted on Twitter by the Safran Group, which owns Zodiac Aerospace.
At the same time, the modules are made in such a way that the airlines themselves will be able to decide how many of them to install on board. If necessary, the entire compartment can be occupied by cargo containers, and the plane will go on a flight without berths, or vice versa.
Moreover, the new system will not require re-equipment of the liners - containers with beds can be loaded not only into new, but also into existing aircraft.
Jeff Pinner, head of the Airbus Cabin & Cargo Program, said that their joint development with Zodiac Aerospace is "a new approach to passenger comfort." According to him, the aircraft-building concern has already discussed the new product with some representatives of airlines, and many of them have expressed interest in installing such containers.

One of them, for example, is the Australian airline Qantas. Its chief executive, Alan Joyce, told Bloomberg that the carrier is constantly looking for ways to make its ultra-long-haul flights "more bearable" for passengers.
In March 2018, Qantas launched the first non-stop flight between Australia and the United Kingdom: Perth to London. The plane has been in the air for more than 17 hours. The flight is the first contender for a four-class cabin layout - first class, business, economy and sleeping quarters, Joyce said.
Sleeping story
Beds in modern passenger liners now one can surprise only the one who sees the plane for the first time. Almost everyone major airlines business class chairs can be converted into full beds.
By the way, the world civil Aviation actually started with sleeping places. For example, in the 1930s, a flight from London to Singapore lasted eight days and involved more than 15 intermediate stops. Try to sit in a chair all this time.
In the 50s, the Boeing-377 Stratocruiser model was used for long-distance flights, and there were also berths there. In the 60s, when the era of jet liners began, the salons were divided into classes, but beds could still be found in Boeing-707, and even in the Soviet Tu-104 and Tu-114. These aircraft were used by Aeroflot, as a rule, on foreign flights. For example, the Tu-114 had separate three-bedroom compartments, and the passengers were given pillows and blankets.
In the 70s, the so-called "golden age of aviation" ended, and flights gradually began to turn into commonplace. Airlines began to think about lowering costs, and aircraft manufacturers - how to fit more people into the cabin. The beds disappeared from the passenger liners.
Now almost anyone can afford to buy an economy class ticket, but since the 70s, nothing fundamentally new for economy passengers has been presented.
There are airlines where first or business class passengers can use the shower or sit in the bar. All the latest developments were mainly related to premium class passengers. The economy passenger has not received anything new for many years. All he gets is a chair and a back-mounted monitor, and sometimes the Internet. Therefore, the idea of sleeping boxes is really interesting, even breakthrough. And it is not as utopian as, for example, airplanes with glass floors or something like that, ”Aleksey Sinitsky, editor-in-chief of the specialized publication Aviatransportnoe Obozreniye, told the iz.ru portal.
By the way, the idea of converting the lower deck berths is not new. For example, the same Airbus in the A340-600 models has special rooms for the rest of the crew members. They resemble capsule hotels that are now found in many airports around the world. Some Boeing-777 models have the same compartments.
Alexey Sinitskiy is sure that sleeping places will not be available for the entire flight.
It will be quite problematic to quickly evacuate from such boxes, therefore, at the time of takeoff and landing, all passengers will most likely be in their seats. But when the liner is on the train, you can go down and rest, ”he suggested.
And of course, there are not enough sleeping places for all passengers. For example, the same A330 can accommodate more than 300 people - it is impossible to accommodate all beds. Therefore, passengers will either have to buy a ticket for berths when booking a regular ticket, or the flight attendants will be able to sell these seats already during the flight.
I think many will agree on a 12-13-hour flight to get the opportunity to lie down for a couple of hours, stretch their legs, - Sinitsky is sure.
