How many people can fit a Boeing 777. The plane that flies the farthest! Salon overview and location of the best seats

With the development of aviation, aircraft began to appear, which rightfully took their place in history. And indeed, when they talk about Boeing, even people who are far from airliners understand that we are talking about an airplane. The name of the company has become a household name. Some models became legendary, made a certain breakthrough in aviation. In general, we can say that almost all Boeings differed quite a lot. large sizes, while they do not lose speed in flight.

The company started its existence in 1916, its founder William Boeing, was literally sick of aviation and was ready to spend all his fortune on the creation of aircraft. The company quickly gained momentum. Starting with the creation of the first aircraft for the masses (they were used to deliver mail) and then when they began to conquer civil aviation. Boeing created its airfields, pilot schools, new models. Soon, his planes began to fly around the world, they became reliable and stable in the air. By the way, it was in the airliners of this company that flight attendants first worked.

Over time, the company began to create and military equipment- different, powerful bombers. And in the 60s and even more, active development of cosmetic devices began. It was the engineers of this company who created Apollo 11, which delivered American astronauts to the moon.

Among all the achievements and models, one can single out the landmark Boeing 777. This is a long-haul aircraft with a wide fuselage. He is one of the largest airliners with two engines. It appeared when in the 70s the public was in dire need of roomy and powerful aircraft. The corporation began active development. Indeed, the passenger capacity of the Boeing 777 is impressive, various modifications can take on board from 300 to 500 people.

At this time, three main Boeing models were created:

1. Boeing 757 is an economical aircraft with low fuel consumption.
2. Boeing 767 for long distances.
3. Boeing 777 with three engines.

Surprisingly, it was the last option that was turned off, considering it so far unfeasible. Despite the fact that the capacity of the Boeing 777 was supposed to cover the shortage in big liners, the designers did not know how to create a car with three engines (and fewer engines could not lift it into the air). However, in the 1980s it was no longer possible to ignore the needs of the market and the growth large aircraft from competitors.

At first, the designers wanted to improve the 767 and make it more spacious. However, the company itself wanted the seemingly impossible. They needed an economical, but at the same time roomy aircraft that would fly equally between continents and at short distances. At the same time, so that its production would cost less than the 767 model, and inside it was possible to change the configuration, add or remove seats.

Creation features

Only at the end of the 80s did the real and possible concept of the Boeing 777 appear. It is noteworthy that during the development the company allowed major airlines to make changes and recommendations. Subsequently, thanks to this, it was possible to create a really popular, high-quality product aimed at a wide audience. For example, it was possible to increase fuel efficiency by 10% or install modern instruments and screens for pilots in the cockpit.

Another interesting fact: The Boeing 777 was the first aircraft to be completely computer-built. Not a single paper drawing was produced in the process. All of them existed in electronic form and were created using programs. This was also the reason for the development of mechanical engineering and design. As a result, in 1990, the new Boeing 777 aircraft was released, which was a huge success.

Specifications Boeing 777

This aircraft was a change of era for the obsolete 767 and 747 aircraft. The digital control system made it possible to control more conveniently and more reliably. Initially, about 30 models were released, but now it is simply impossible to calculate how many of them are used all over the world. The following characteristics of the model can be given:

• Boeing 777 speed in flight - 900 kilometers per hour;
• length - almost 74 meters;
• wingspan - 64.8 meters;
• number of seats - 300 - 500 (it is possible to remove or deliver chairs);
• the crew consists of 2 people.

If you are wondering how much the Boeing 777 weighs, then this figure in empty form is 160 tons. With fuel, baggage and passengers, it sometimes grows up to 200 tons.

Now there are two main modifications - the 20th and 30th models. The latter is more modern and spacious, it can accommodate 510 seats. She received an elongated interior.

In 2000, more and more new additions to existing models came out. Some allowed long flights without refueling. Others were built specifically for the transport of heavy loads and were equipped with innovative, powerful engines. It is noteworthy that in the same 2000s, the Boeing 777 remained the concern's best-selling model.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner - Boeing's newest model to date

Recent Boeing history

The Boeing 777 is an era for the company of the same name, as it immortalized it in history and became the best-selling aircraft in the world. The plane, which was rejected several times as too bulky and expensive, became exactly the airliner that the time required. In 2007, the company received an order for a large number of second generation models. At the same time, the concern simply could not cope with orders, lagging behind all plans. In 2008, the factories were hastily expanded. It takes up to 50 days to assemble a modern modification of the 777 model.

Boeing 777X cockpit

American aircraft manufacturer Boeing published overview video of the cockpit of the promising Boeing 777X passenger aircraft, which will be equipped with a folding wing. The video shows not a full-scale model of the cockpit of the new aircraft, but its three-dimensional render, however, the developers claim that its appearance will not change.

The Boeing 777X passenger aircraft will be the world's largest twin-engine airliner. The aircraft will receive a folding wing so that it can easily move along conventional runways and fit into standard aircraft hangars. The folding wing has never been installed as standard on civil aircraft, although it is common among combat aircraft of naval aviation.

The length of the folding section of the wing console of the serial Boeing 777X will be about 7.3 meters. With folded wingtips, the wing span of the liner will be 64.5 meters, and with unfolded - 71.8 meters. In the cockpit of the new aircraft, shown by the American concern, there will be two folding wing controls.

One element, a latching Auto/Fold button with illuminated activation, will be located on the overhead console above the pilot-in-command. In the free position, it is responsible for the automatic folding of the wing when a certain speed is reached when braking after landing. In the pressed position, the wing will fold forcibly.

The second element, the Wingtips reversible flag switch, will also be located on the overhead console, but closer to the windshield next to the gyro-inductive compass showing the aircraft's magnetic heading. This switch will have two positions.

In the first and main position - Fold - the switch will activate the button responsible for the automatic folding of the wing, and the second - Extend - will lower the wingtips and fix them in the lower position. It will be necessary to move the flag to the Extend position before takeoff.

In general, the cockpit of the B777X is very similar in appearance to the cockpit of the already produced B787 Dreamliner aircraft. This was done deliberately so that the retraining of pilots for a new type of passenger aircraft took less time.

Boeing has been developing a promising family of passenger liners B777X since the early 2010s on the basis of existing B777 aircraft. The new family will include two types of liners: B777-8X and B777-9X. The liners will receive new engines and wings made of composite materials.

In addition, the aircraft will use a number of technologies from the B787 Dreamliners, which began operation in 2011. According to Boeing plans, in 2018 the tests necessary for the first flight of the aircraft will begin. The new passenger aircraft is being developed as a competitor to the European Airbus A380.

Between the Boeing in collaboration with NASA researchers, a folding wing that will fold in flight. The tests will be carried out as part of a program to develop new ways to reduce aircraft fuel consumption during flight. Tests of the prototype of the new wing will be carried out on an experimental F / A-18 Hornet fighter.

By the end of 2017, Boeing and NASA are expected to test a folding wing on an unmanned aircraft. aircraft Ptera. A little later, checks will be carried out on the Hornet fighter. Preparation of a folding wing for this aircraft is already underway. Unlike a conventional folding wing equipped with a mechanical folding system, the new wing will receive a drive based on the memory effect of metals.

The development of a new wing is carried out as part of the SAW (Spanwise Adaptive Wing, spanwise adaptive wing) project. It is assumed that on a passenger aircraft, during landing, the wingtips will fall down at a right angle to the wing plane, and during takeoff, they will be installed in the same plane with the wing. When flying at cruising speed, the wingtips will be raised at an angle to the wing to form winglets.

When landing, the downwardly deflected wingtips will also act as stabilizers and rudders. According to NASA, this, in turn, will significantly reduce the size of the keel. A large keel is useful for stabilization and control at low airspeeds or when engines fail, but at cruising speed it creates additional drag and increases fuel consumption.

The Boeing 777 is the world's largest wide-body airliner, impressive not only for its size and comfort, but also for its technical characteristics. It is equipped with two of the most powerful jet engines ever installed on passenger aircraft. This model is one of the most reliable aircraft in its class.

Development history

In 1978, having studied in detail the market and the wishes of air carriers, Boeing presents 3 fundamentally new developments:

• twin-engine model 757 with more economical fuel consumption (compared to the previous model 727);
• twin-engine long-haul 767 (as a competitor to the Airbus A300);
• model 777 with three engines (this aircraft challenged the models DC-10 and L-1011).

In the future, the first two models will debut with success, and the project 777 model will be postponed indefinitely.

In 1988, it became known about the next project, which was the Boeing 777 with 2 engines. Airlines are interested in this model. At the end of 1989, sales of a new twin-engine model started.

The design process for the 777 was guided by recommendations from 8 of the world's largest airlines. For the first time in its history, Boeing has used such an experience. The development process included a specially created working group, the first meeting of which was held in early 1990. The object of their discussion was a list of wishes and recommendations based on the needs and wishes of passengers. That is why the company recognized the model 777 as a liner, the development of which was based on the wishes of the consumer.

The presentation of the aircraft is presented in this video:

Aeroflot's Boeing 777 takes off in this video:

The springboard for the production of the aircraft was a huge plant in Everett, specially built in 1960 for the development of the 747 model.

The first customer of the novelty was United Airlines. This company has ordered 34 aircraft. The development of the model began in the early 1990s, and already in 1994 it made its first flight.

Technical features of the liner

The model has a number of distinctive characteristics:

• The Boeing 777 is the first commercial airliner in history to be designed entirely with the help of computer programs. There were no paper drawings in the process of its development, and everything was made using CATIA (3-dimensional design system). Thanks to the pre-assembly in the program, it was possible to avoid a lot of errors during the production period.
• The model holds the record among passenger airliners in terms of flight range - 21,601 km.
• The height of the aircraft is 18.5 m.
• Length - 74 m.
• Wingspan - 64.9 m.
• Cabin width - 5.87 m.
• The weight of the 777 model is 160 tons empty, and with passengers, fuel and luggage it reaches 300 tons.
• Average fuel consumption - 5000 liters per hour.
• The maximum possible speed is 950 km / h, cruising - 905 km / h.
• The aircraft is equipped with two powerful engines.
• Passenger capacity: from 305 to 550 people, taking into account the configuration of the cabin.
• The maximum flight altitude is 13,100 m.
• The maximum flight range is from 9.1 to 17.5 thousand km (depending on modification).
• The total number of toilets in the cabin is 7.

Interior Features

The interior of the aircraft is practical and stylish. The design is made in curved lines. The cabin has spacious luggage racks, indirect (global) lighting. Multimedia monitors are built into the backs of the seats, which will allow passengers to spend time with interest: watch a movie, listen to news from the cockpit.

Boeing 777 economy class

Video review of Aeroflot's Boeing 777 interior:

Each company offers its own interior layout, as it largely depends on the preferences of the customer. The number of seats - from 4 in the business class to 10 in the budget segment.

Porthole dimensions - 380 by 250 mm. Due to the lowering shelves, the developers managed to achieve an increase in the gap above the heads. The carefully thought-out layout of the cabin makes it possible to quickly move the seats to achieve the desired configuration.

Boeing 777 cabin layout, best seats

The cabin of this model has a base extended by 10 m, which has a passenger capacity of up to 550 people.

1-5 business class rows

The most comfortable places. The chairs can be accommodated not only sitting, but also lying down. All the advantages of these places can be fully appreciated only in flight, their cost is fully justified, because comfort is what is especially important during long flights.

Unlike other classes, there are quite long distance between seats - 1 m 60 cm. Passengers are offered the press, a varied menu.

When choosing a seat in business class, keep in mind that there is a toilet near DGHK 1: the sound of water flushing is clearly audible, so the passenger will be constantly distracted by extraneous sounds.

Many air carriers have a very thin partition between business class and economy class, but this does not apply to Aeroflot: this air carrier leaves a large distance between compartments, which helps to create conditions for optimal sound insulation.

6-11 row

This is the so-called comfort class, that is, intermediate between "business" and "economy", a novelty at Aeroflot. The distance between the seats here is slightly less than in business class. You can recline the seats 130 degrees. Each passenger has at his disposal a screen located in the back of the seat in front of him. With it, you can watch videos, listen to music. Passengers are also offered the latest press.

17-51 row

These seats are in the economy class. There is a distance of 81 cm between the chairs. This is the most popular and therefore the most spacious class.

In economy class, the seatbacks recline 105-100 degrees.

17, 24 and 38 row

They are privileged because they have a number of additional advantages: each of these seats will not be able to recline, and the passenger in them has such an opportunity. In addition, there is considerable legroom ahead - just like in business class.

The maximum comfort of these rows is called into question by one “but”: the close location of the bathroom. In view of this, a constant accumulation of people is possible here. Also distracts the sound of water. If you do not take into account these nuances, then these places are ideal for rest and sleep.

On some liners in rows 23, 36, 37, 50, 51 there is a possibility that the seat backs will be blocked due to the proximity to the toilet.

Seats 23A and 23K have only a small window located on the door emergency exit. The table and multimedia display are placed in the armrest.

It is forbidden to block the emergency passage with luggage or hand luggage. It is not allowed to accommodate the elderly, the disabled, children or animals.

At first glance, it seems that these are the most inconvenient places, but they have one significant advantage: there is a lot of legroom in front, since there is an emergency passage here. This is a great advantage, especially for those passengers who travel long distances.

Seats ABHK 47 rows

They are classified as places with additional amenities: they are located in the tail and have a large distance in front of the seats. Also, their advantage is the location by the window, which offers a gorgeous view. The rest of the budget places are no different.

To get acquainted with the interior of the aircraft and the view of the cabin from the inside, this demonstration video will allow:

Cockpit (cockpit)

The 777's cockpit has a clean layout similar to Boeing's predecessors. This is the company's first commercial aircraft to be equipped with a fully wired, program-based control system. It is equipped with a glass cabin. Has LCD displays from Honeywell.

The Cockpit is equipped with a fiber optic control system network, the first to be installed on a passenger aircraft. It was also decided to leave the control using the steering wheel. The system has a flight parameters protection function: it monitors that pilots do not exceed the flight configuration, and also avoids dangerous maneuvers. If necessary, the system can be turned off.

In 2003, an updated cabin was introduced with the additional option of separate crew rest areas, which are located above the main cabin and have stairs. They have 2 armchairs and the same number of beds.

Features and differences of Boeing 777 modifications

Model	Main characteristics
Boeing 777-200	The first aircraft of the 777 line, which was intended for the US domestic market. A total of 88 such aircraft were produced. The first commercial operation was launched by United Airlines in 1995.
Boeing 777-200ER	Compared to the basic version, it has additional fuel tanks. It is characterized by increased takeoff weight. The main purpose is intercontinental flights. The range is 14260 km. The first copy was put into operation by British Airways in early February 1997.
Boeing 777-200LR	It has the status of an ultra-long liner. They made the longest flight without landing (the range was 17370 km). The development of the aircraft took place almost in parallel with the 777-300ER. Boeing 777-200LR has additional 3 tanks and increased takeoff weight. New features include redesigned wingtips, reinforced airframe and new landing gear. The model was first handed over to Pakistan International Airlines in 2006.
Boeing 777-300	The length is 11 m longer than its predecessor. Thanks to this, it has the ability to carry 550 passengers in a mono-configuration. Compared to outdated models, it has a similar number of seats for transporting passengers and a range, but with all this, it consumes 30% less fuel. Operating costs are reduced by 40%. The increased length gave the developers a reason to create a ski under the tail of the aircraft to prevent hitting the ground during takeoff, and a camera for comfortable maneuvering. The maximum flight distance is 11,120 km. The first copy of this model was put into operation in 1998 by Cathay Pacific.
Boeing 777-300ER	It is considered a modified model with increased capacity and the highest takeoff weight. It has new main landing gear, additional fuel tanks. The empennage, wings and fuselage have been modified and significantly improved. Turbofan engines are the most powerful jet systems with a maximum thrust of 513 kN. The flight range with a maximum load has been increased by 34% compared to the previous model and is 14,690 km. In 2004, the first aircraft of this model was handed over to Air France.
Boeing 777 Freighter	This aircraft is designed to carry cargo. The maximum weight for transportation is almost 103 tons. The maximum flight range is 9043 km.
Boeing 777 (KC-777)	In the second half of 2006, the start of production of this tanker aircraft was announced. It could become a full-fledged replacement for the KS-767, which is in service with the US Air Force. The model exceeds the size of the KS-767, so it can deliver a large amount of cargo and personnel. But in 2007, instead of the specified model, the US Air Force proposed a modification of the KC-767 Advanced Tanker.
Boeing 777X	The development process of this model started in 2013, mass production has not yet begun, production is planned for 2020. It will be a large, but economical aircraft. Its passenger capacity will be 353 people. It will be longer than its predecessors. It is planned to increase aerodynamics, which will give an advantage over other models.

Comparison of Boeing 777 with analogues

The Boeing 777-300 was released to replace the outdated 747 model. The first has an 11 m long base, which makes it possible to accommodate a maximum of 550 passengers - the same as in the previous model; flight range is also the same. But despite this, the Boeing 777-300 is a third more economical in fuel consumption and 40% cheaper in maintenance.

The Boeing 777-200 has a strong competitor from Airbus - this is the A330-300 model. The distinguishing features include the maximum flight range of the first manufacturer: it is much higher and amounts to 14,300 km, while that of a competitor is 10,400 km. Boeing also has a higher maximum takeoff weight, it is 297,560 kg, while Airbus has this figure of 233,000 kg. The A330 model has a smaller cabin width: it is 5.28 m. The competitor has a slightly larger figure - 5.87 m.

Price

The cost of the Boeing 777 depends on the modification of the aircraft: it can vary from $270 million to $330 million.

The Boeing 777 is an aircraft, the design of which was developed not only taking into account the interests of air carriers, but also based on the wishes of passengers. The total number of deliveries of the liner from 1990 to 2011 is 1372. Aircraft of this model are available in the fleets of the largest carriers in the world.

The Boeing 777, or "Boeing Three Sevens" as it is called, is a large family of wide-body passenger liners designed for long-haul airlines. The aircraft was developed in the early 1990s, it first flew in 1994 and has been in service since 1995. Curiously, the Boeing 777 became the world's first commercial airliner 100% developed on computers: for example, not a single paper drawing was released during the entire development period!

Airliners of the Boeing-777 family are capable of accommodating from 305 to 550 tourists, depending on the configuration of the cabins, they have a flight range of 9.1 to 17.5 thousand km. In addition, an absolute distance record for passenger airliners was set on a Boeing 777 aircraft, namely, 21 "601 thousand km.

The Boeing 777 is the world's largest twin-engine jet airliner. The engines manufactured by General Electric GE90, installed on it, are by far the largest and most powerful jet engines in the history of aviation. A distinctive feature of these aircraft are also 6-wheel landing gear.

MODIFICATIONS OF THE BOEING-777 ===================================

The prototype Boeing 777-200 with Pratt & Whitney PW4084 engines made its first flight on June 12, 1994. In the future, liners with engines from General Electric and Rolls-Royc were tested. Commercial operation of the first Boeing 777-200 began in 1995.

In addition to the basic version, there are also options 777-200ER (characterized by an increased flight range), 777-200LR (characterized by an extra long flight range).

The aircraft program started in June 1995, and in October its layout was finally completed. In March 1997, the construction of the first experimental vessel began, in 1998 flight tests were completed and the first aircraft was delivered.

The main customers of the 777-300 aircraft today are the airlines of the countries of the Pacific region, namely, Japan Airlines and Corian Air, Katey Pacific and Malaysia Airlines, etc. The 777-300 liner in terms of its passenger capacity and flight range is exactly corresponds to the data of the Boeing 747-100 and 747-200 aircraft, however, in terms of fuel efficiency, the aircraft exceeds them by 30%.

The Boeing 777 is equipped with a digital avionics system EFIS, manufactured by the American company Honeywell, with five flat color LCD displays for displaying information about the flight, as well as a digital system for monitoring the operation of on-board systems and power plant EICAS (three flat LCD displays), the so-called "electronic library" with a database of all aircraft systems and equipment without exception. There is also an on-board system for diagnosing the current state of on-board systems. Moreover, the aircraft is equipped with a TCAS in-flight collision avoidance system. It should be noted that all avionics on the liner complies with the ARINC 629 standard. The aircraft has been mass-produced since 1996.

===========================================

Aeroflot - largest airline Russia. In the carrier's fleet, among other reliable aircraft, there are several dozen Boeing liners from the largest American manufacturer. This corporation has 2 divisions, of which Boeing Commercial Airplanes is engaged in civil aviation. The main production facilities for the production of aircraft are located in Seattle, where the now world famous corporation was once born.

Boeing 777

The first models of wide-body aircraft under the index "3 sevens" began to be produced in the early 90s of the last century, they are intended for operation on long-distance routes. The Boeing 777 is completely different from all previous models of this brand, not only in terms of comfort. This machine can be called the embodiment of a virtual idea, since it was completely developed on a computer.

The 777th airliner made its first commercial flight in 1995 and immediately gained popularity. Nowadays, all the world's leading airlines are striving to have this model of aircraft in their fleet (Russia has not stood aside). Aeroflot's fleet was replenished from 2013 to 2017 with 16 Boeing 777-300ep modifications (type B 77w), the average age of which is a little over a year.

In total, the corporation has developed several options for aircraft with 3 sevens:

• the base model is the Boeing 777-200, designed for a flight range of 4.2 thousand nautical miles (7.78 thousand km);
• the Boeing 777-200/ep model is an option for extended range - at least 6.6 thousand nautical miles (12.22 thousand km);
• 7.8 thousand nautical miles (14.45 thousand km) easily overcome models 777-200 / LR;
• The 300th modification is a slightly modified version of the 200th, which received a more elongated fuselage. He became an excellent replacement for the Boeing 747 model;
• Boeing 777-300er, which Aeroflot uses on international flights, are designed for increased range and are able to compete with Airbuses.

Powerful jet turbofan engines installed on it make it possible to carry out long flights of this model.

Specifications

Today, the Boeing 777-300/ep is one of the best-selling aircraft in the world thanks to its technical specifications. The 2-motor scheme used in the car made it possible to reduce operating costs by 9%, and fuel costs by 20%. The main parameters of this model are shown in the table below.

This model is also distinguished by its interior. The largest windows were used in these aircraft. The configuration of the cabin allows you to move freely around it. And since 2003, the 77w model has introduced rest areas for long-haul crew.

The scheme of seats in the cabin

Differ Boeing aircraft 777-300/ep and seating chart. In this model, there are no longer 2 classes of service, but 3:

• 30 seats with increased comfort are reserved for "business";
• under the "economy" - 324 seats;
• between the 2 main compartments there is another "comfort" class for 48 seats.

The diagram of the Boeing 777 300 aircraft of the Aeroflot company is shown in fig. below.

Description of seats by blocks of rows

The entire Boeing 777-300/ER aircraft inside the cabin is designed for maximum passenger comfort. But, as in any other liner, there are good places and worse (especially for passengers with children). This applies not only to the economy class, such a gradation exists in other compartments.

Business Class

Business class in the 77w model is the conditions superior comfort. Comfortable leather chairs occupy 5 rows and are placed according to the 3x2 scheme (with 2 aisles).

Note! The seats are located one after another at a distance of 150 cm, which allows the chairs to be turned into beds (even in the last row), without causing discomfort to the neighbors.

All the seats in the compartment can be called quite comfortable, but there are still undesirable places: the 1st row is located not far from the toilet. This will not cause aesthetic inconvenience in this class of service, but the walking of people can interfere with rest. Although this particular row is preferable for passengers with small children, as there are devices for attaching the cradle.

Comfort class

This compartment is more convenient for passengers compared to the economy class, but is somewhat inferior to the business option. The seating arrangement here is as follows: 6 rows (from 11 to 16) contain 4 chairs in the center and 2 chairs at each side.

Note! The distance between the seats is optimal so that you can travel reclining. But in this compartment, the seat backs do not recline, but the seats are pushed forward, which is convenient for passengers behind.

The 11th row is provided for passengers with babies, as there is where to hang the cradle. But for others, such a neighborhood may not be entirely desirable. It will be difficult to relax on this row due to the closely located partition (you cannot fully stretch your legs).

In front of the same row, on the left side, there is a toilet, which also cannot be called a pleasant neighborhood. The 16th row is also inconvenient, since a thin partition is installed behind the seats, through which noise is heard from the economy class cabin.

Economy class

The largest compartment is the economic one. It is divided into sections - in the middle each row contains 4 chairs, in the side rows - 3 each (with some exceptions, they are visible in the above diagram).

Most of the seats on the plane are standard, with an average degree of comfort. But here, some features of a number of passenger seats can also be distinguished - they are shown in the table below (the layout of the Boeing 777-300 / ep cabin is taken as a basis).

Features of some seats in economy class

ranks	Places	Peculiarities
17	A, C, H, K	There are 2 armchairs on the sides, which is convenient for traveling in pairs.
	D, E, F, G	The lack of seats in front gives free legroom. The bassinet attachment device allows these places to be used when traveling with infants. The disadvantage is the lack of an entertainment monitor, passengers are forced to look at the wall.
18	C, H	There are no seats in the previous row in front of these seats, which provides sufficient legroom.
20	-	The lack of windows will suit those who like to sleep in flight, but will be inconvenient for those who prefer to look out the window.
24, 38	-	Sufficiently comfortable rows, as there are empty seats in front of the seats due to the presence of emergency exits. Disadvantage - nowhere to attach hand luggage, and pregnant women, disabled people, passengers with children and animals are not allowed to fly in these places.
	C, H	The toilets and kitchens located nearby cause inconvenience - smells are constantly felt, and the periodic walking of people interferes.
23, 36, 37, 50, 51	Aisle seats	Due to the proximity of the toilets, the constant movement of passengers interferes, sometimes there are queues.
47-51	-	There are 2 armchairs on each side, which already provides some convenience. Despite the fact that turbulence is more noticeable here, these rows are considered the safest. The disadvantage is that due to the narrowing of the tail section of the aircraft, the distance between the seats in these rows is more dense.

Having studied the layout of the best seats in the Boeing 777-300 / ER cabin, having found out some features, it will be easier to book tickets for this Aeroflot aircraft for a long-distance comfortable flight.

If you are not lucky enough to take the highest priority seats on the plane, you should not despair. Most seats can be quite comfortable if they are in the middle of the cabin and not adjacent to the aisles. The remoteness of the windows can even be a plus for those who are afraid to fly on airplanes.

Facilities

Monitors are mounted on the rear walls of the seatbacks, allowing passengers to have some fun during the flight. The entertainment system allows you to enjoy watching interesting movies or programs, listening to music and even reading online books. Little passengers will also find entertainment for themselves - they can play computer games or watch their favorite cartoons.

Such diversity on board the aircraft ensures the availability of the Internet. You can also connect the gadget at hand to it ( mobile phone, tablet, laptop).

Business and comfort classes have large monitors and comfortable wide armrests between the seats. Each seat is equipped with controlled lighting.

If the price of the issue when buying a ticket does not matter, then you should choose your seats on the Boeing 777 in the luxury compartments. But even in economy class, you can stay comfortably if you correctly assess the situation and set your own priorities.
