Used in the "Boeing 757-200" airplane, the interior layout, best seats and their design repeat the scheme that was used in previous versions of the liner of this class. One row consists of six seats, three seats on the left and three on the right, and in the middle there is a central passage. This is an optimal arrangement for passengers, and it is convenient for the flight attendants. Therefore, engineers "Boeing 757", the layout of which is universal, did not begin to make constructive changes in the location of seats.

The question of choosing the best place is often individual. Passengers who advocate for security will most likely prefer tailings, and those who suffer from motion sickness will choose the first rows. Many of us like to look alone at the porthole, surveying from the height of the expanse of the Earth. Such passengers will prefer places A and F. Those who need to often get up, including for health reasons, as well as fans of stretching their legs will choose places near the passage.

There is an expert opinion which places are the best. Business class, equipped with folding backs and an increased intercross space, can provide more comfort than economy class. When choosing a seat during check-in, it is necessary to take into account the proximity of the bathrooms, kitchens and the presence of a number of emergency exits affecting the angle of reclining the chair so that you do not experience discomfort in the flight process afterwards.

To choose the best seats, consult airline managers

To date, Boeing 757 airliners are operated by many Russian airlines. Among them - "Wim Avia", "Nord Wind", "Yakutia" and others.

Each airline, in the context of increasing the level of customer service, places on its websites detailed information about the structural features of the vessel, the duration and features of the flight, the possibilities of obtaining additional services on board the liner. The airline website presents, in addition to the general description of the Boeing 757, the layout of the cabin. "Wim Avia", for example, advises passengers who do not like to get into an unfortunate queue at the front desk, choose the first row, because in this case, when landing, there is an opportunity to leave the salon first.

In terms of service, the first row also wins, as passengers who sit in this row deliver food and drinks first. But even here there can be certain inconveniences due to the neighborhood with the restrooms, besides, the feet rest against a solid partition, they can not be pulled out.

Features of accommodation for different categories of passengers

There are the main key points and nuances that the interior layout of the Boeing 757-200 provides. "Nord Wind" and other airlines operating the Boeing 757-200 aircraft, will certainly offer you the best accommodation option. Places in the 10th and 21st rows are considered optimal for high passengers. They are located behind emergency exits, there is a free place for legs. If you are traveling with a child, you will not be put in places that have proximity to emergency hatches. If you travel in pairs, it is more convenient for you to choose the ninth row, in which there are places connected in pairs, and not three, and you will be more comfortable there. If you choose the tail, you do not have to tolerate the closeness of the toilets. In the 14th and 15th rows, in some cases there is no porthole, and those who wanted to survey the panorama of the Earth from above may become distressed. The seats in the rows, near which the emergency hatches are located, are not fully reclining or do not recline at all. This applies, for example, to the 19th, 20th, and 40th series. Take this into account and think about whether you can fly the entire flight in the same position.
