Choosing the best place on the Airbus A330-300

One of the factors ensuring a comfortable and safe flight is the right choice of place in the plane.

About Airbus

Airbus, which produces aircraft for civil, cargo and military aviation, has been, for almost half a century, the main and almost the only competitor of the famous Boeing. Symbolizing the competition between Europe and America, the Old and New Worlds, Airbus and Boeing produce comfortable passenger airliners of various classes - from huge cars like the A380 and B747, to medium-sized aircrafts and the length of the flight like the A320 and B737.

Last but not least, tough competition and a strong competitor make both companies continually improve and offer airlines more and more new developments - more comfortable, safe and economical.

Technical specifications Airbus A330-300

Being the replacement for its parent "Airbus A330", the model A330-300 received some lengthening of the fuselage, which in the end was 63.7 meters. The wingspan of this aircraft is 60.3 meters. Airbus A330-300 can carry up to 440 passengers (if there are only one class in the cabin) for a distance of up to 10,000 kilometers. In addition, the liner has a capacious cargo compartment, which makes it possible to use it as an airplane carrying cargo. The cruising speed of the Airbus A330-300 is 880 km / h.

Airbus A330-300 against the background of its competitors, Boeing 767 and 787, looks more profitable - at least in the context of demand. Sales model of the company "Airbus" are at a higher level - annually airlines around the world are ordered about hundreds of A330-300.

The best places on the example of Aeroflot

Since the arrangement of seats in the cabin of each airline is different, for the convenience of readers, let us consider an example of a ship belonging to the largest Russian carrier, Aeroflot. Airbus A330-300, the best places which we now choose with you, is used by the national carrier in three cabin configurations, and we took the most common variant.

So where is it better to get on the Airbus A330-300? The scheme of the salon shows us that in the business class, the places to which claims may arise are the last and the first rows. The first is due to the proximity of technical areas, such as a kitchen, a wardrobe and a toilet. The latter - because of the proximity to the economy class, where from the placement of more people there is more noise.

In the 15th row of the economy class, the side seats do not have portholes, which should be taken into account if you want to fly in contemplation of clouds and endless skies.

The 29th row will be convenient for long flights - there are emergency exits next to it, there are no seats in front, so it will be very spacious to sit and lie there, you can stretch your legs and get up at any time without the need to awaken a neighbor. But it is worth considering the closeness of toilets. From there, an unpleasant smell can be heard , and the standing of a number of people in the queue is unlikely anyone can greatly like. Also near this row, along with the 11th, there are cradles for the cradle, so get ready for the fact that the entire flight next to you will be babies.

The most uncomfortable places are in the ranks of 44-45 and 27-28. In addition to the closeness to the toilets, the backs of the seats in these rows do not recline - there is simply nowhere, since behind the wall.

And finally, we note a series of 41st, in which, due to a small decrease in the width of the aircraft, two seats near the aisle protrude slightly, which can create additional inconveniences.

General Tips

Finally, we repeat a few tips that will be relevant when choosing seats on any aircraft, not just the Airbus A330-300: do not choose places near technical rooms, especially for toilets. Also, make sure that the seatbacks in your row are reclined, otherwise you will have to sleep in a fully seated position.
