Best seats on Turkish Airlines A330-200 and A330-300

The most comfortable business class cabin for flying on an Airbus A330. A cozy atmosphere has been created here, comfortable chairs with extended legroom and multifunctional mode lowering the backrest. In addition, business class passengers have some privileges provided by the tariff plan.

The most convenient and uncomfortable places in the economy salon in Airbus A330-200:

  1. Places increased comfort with increased legroom are located on the 5th and 22nd rows.
  2. Seats A, B, J, K on the 20th row are inconvenient for flying, since the backrest lowering mechanism in the seats is blocked. Four seats 21, 34 (E, F, G) and 35 rows have a similar drawback.
  3. The uncomfortable rows in the economy cabin are the last ones, located close to the toilet rooms. There are often queues of other flight passengers wanting to visit the restroom.

Peculiarities passenger seats in A330-300 Turkish Airlines:

  1. Comfortable seats in the economy cabin are located on rows 11 and 29. There are no other seats in front, but there is a partition installed, with an increased space between it and the seating seats. The disadvantage of these places is that the folding tables are built into the armrests, which makes them immovable.
  2. Chairs with locked backs are located in the 15th row (A, K), in 27 (A, C, N, K), four seats in the 28th row, in 44 (A, C, N, K) and three seats in the last row, 45th row. salon.
  3. From rows 16 to 28 – visibility is hidden from the windows panoramic views, which is due to the close proximity of the aircraft’s wings.

Turkish Airlines passengers can pre-select and book an Airbus 330 cabin for a comfortable flight on their chosen route. This service is provided on a paid basis. The cost depends on the direction and tariff. You can clarify this information by phone by calling the central branch of the airline located in Moscow.

The Airbus A330-200 is one of the representatives of the A330 group. Compared to its colleagues, it is considered the shortest aircraft. There is a spacious cargo compartment under the passenger compartment. The A330-200 is used for flights over a variety of distances - from short to very impressive. The flight range reaches a maximum of 13,400 km. The Airbus is very popular among transport companies and passenger carriers.

With comparatively small sizes, the liner has two cabin models: a two-class cabin, capable of carrying 300 people at a time, and a three-class cabin, consisting of economy, first and business class, and designed for 253 people.

One of the largest Russian carrier companies, Aeroflot, successfully uses the airbus A330-200 for flights from Moscow around the world. Let's take a look at the air showroom layout and figure out which places are worthy of attention and which ones should not be taken if possible.

Business Class

Seats intended for business class ticket holders are located from rows 1 to 6. Each row consists of 6 seats, which are arranged in pairs on both sides and in the middle. The seats in these rows are very comfortable and can recline 180 degrees, allowing you to take a horizontal position. In addition, the row spacing is quite wide. But despite everything, this class also has its shortcomings.

Row 1 to 4 located very close to the kitchen, this can cause discomfort due to fuss and various odors.

Row 5 is located directly from the restroom, which is why it can also be very inconvenient.

Row 6 located close to the initial one, that is, the 11th row of economy class. This row contains mounts for bassinets, so your neighbors will be passengers with babies.

Economy class

Economy class seats are located from rows 11 to 37.

On rows 11 to 24 There are standard economy class seats with reclining backs, but due to the partition in front of them and the monitors mounted in the armrests, the seats cannot be considered comfortable enough. Also, large monitors that are located near these seats and do not go off even at night can prevent you from falling asleep.

Row 23 located directly next to the toilet rooms, the constant movement of passengers and other possible troubles do not allow this row to be considered comfortable.

Seats A, C, H, K on row 24 have an advantage over others due to the close location of emergency exits. Due to this, the space for legs and for moving around the row increases. The disadvantages include, again, the close location of the toilet room.

Seats D, E, F, G on row 24 also cannot be considered very comfortable due to the presence of large monitors that are always on, as well as the possible proximity of small children - there are mounts for bassinets on this row.

From row 33 The fuselage of the Airbus begins to narrow; this is not very noticeable, but it can still cause some inconvenience. Sometimes under the front seats there are huge metal boxes for storing equipment, and this limits the free space in the front.

In row 34 seats D and G protrude into the aisle a little more, so other passengers and flight attendants may “stumble” over them.

Row 35 not very convenient due to the fact that the distance between it and the previous row is less than standard.

Rows 36 and 37, as well as 23 are located near the toilets. Choice extreme places these series are not the best for precisely this reason.

Modification for NordWind airline

Another big one in the park Russian carrier Airbus A330-200 is used. Nord Wind Company ( North wind) is among the top ten Russian transportation and is focused on flight accessibility. But, despite this, the company’s airliners are equipped with 24 seats increased comfort. Economy class is represented by 279 standard seats. Basically, all seats are equipped with multimedia monitors, except those located next to emergency exits, but they have more legroom than others.

Modification for ifly airline

Many charter companies airbus A330-200 enters service. Among them Russian company IFly. Two Airbus A330s fly under its logo.

Scheme passenger compartment The liner used by iPhone can have four layout options:

  • The total passenger cabin capacity of the Airbus 330 i fly is 387 people. The air show is not divided into classes. Seats located at emergency exits: 36A, 36C, 36H, 36K.
  • First class is allocated 19 luxury seats, the rest of the seats are standard, their number is 268 pieces. Emergency exit seats: 36A, 36C, 36H, 36K
  • Standard seats are enough for 263 passengers. First class is designed for 48 people. Additional comfort is created by the increased space between the seats. Seats located at emergency exits: 26 A, 26B, 26J, 26K; 39B, 39J; 40D, 40F.
  • There are 251 standard seats in the Airbus cabin. The first class cabin has 18 seats. Seats located at emergency exits: 24A, 24B, 24H, 24K.

Modification for Turkish Airlines

Not only representatives of Russian air carriers actively use the Airbus 330-200. The leading representative of Turkish airlines uses several such airliners on their staff, with a capacity of 250, 281, and 286 passengers at a time. The number of passengers directly depends on how many seats there are in business class. The more seats there are, the fewer the total number of people the plane can take on board.

Most often, representatives of Turkish airlines use the cabin layout with 250 seats. With this scheme, business class occupies rows 1 to 5, and economy class starts from rows 5 and 22. Please note that the most comfortable seats are in business class, but if you can buy a ticket to row 5 or row 22 in economy class, you can also get a good deal. The reason for this is the sufficient distance from the toilet rooms and the absence of the previous row - as a result, increased legroom.

Airbus 330 200 remains firmly at the top of the market passenger transportation, especially when long flights are required. It owes its primacy to the degree of comfort that its developers provided for any interior configuration.

Its demand during long term explained flight performance, ease of maintenance and cost-effectiveness. The production of this airbus does not stop at the moment.

There are only 200 aircraft in the Turkish Airlines fleet, of which 58 are Boeing 737-800.

The most numerous type of aircraft of the aviation company, which is why it is often seen on Russian flights.

The aircraft has two cabin configurations.

They are very similar and differ only in the number and quality of seats next to each other in business class. There is an essence to analyze in detail only one idea, which is seen much more often, and we will touch on the second type of aircraft indirectly.

    Ask an airline employee for advice

    If it is possible, carefully study the diagram of the aircraft on which you will fly.

    Do not take seats in which the seats do not recline or are limited in this regard.

    Do not take places near restrooms, kitchens and other technical rooms at the very end.

    1 rub. - the legroom is slightly reduced due to the partition. The proximity to the kitchen can also cause a little inconvenience.

    5 rub. - usual business sequence, but the proximity of a noisy economy is not very comfortable.

    6 rub. - first row economy. There are no folding tables in these seats; the flight attendants bring them while the food is being served. Also, it is forbidden to place hand luggage on the floor; you will need to put everything on a shelf. We will see several significant details from the advantages. Firstly, no one will recline the chair. Secondly, a screen is a partition between classes. Based on this, there will be a little more free space for the knees and legs.

    7A and 7F - there is no porthole on these sequences.

    11 rub. - the backs of the seats are blocked in these places and have only a vertical position.

    12 rub. - the backrests are blocked, but the distance to the front sequence is slightly increased. It will be much more ergonomic for your knees and legs.

    14 rub. - standard economy seats with a big advantage: the distance to the seats in the front rows is increased. These are the most comfortable seats in the economy cabin. But there are a certain number of restrictions: you cannot block the passage to the emergency hatches with hand luggage. Passengers with animals and small children, passengers with disabilities and elderly people are also not allowed to board here.

    28D - proximity to the kitchen will cause some concern.

    28 and 29 r. - they are indicated in red in the diagram. The seat backs rest against the wall and do not recline. Another very bad effect on a pleasant flight is proximity to galley and restrooms. There are always a lot of people here, they create queues. The door to the restrooms keeps closing/opening. You can hear the sound of the tank and everything. Register for these sequences at worst.

The second aircraft configuration is slightly different. There are only 3 sequences (6 seats) of business class, along with this, business appeared by blocking in the middle of increasing and sitting the step between sequences. There are no more comfortable seats available.

Economy starts with sequence 4. All sequences have access to portholes. And so everything is the same.

A few general points about the placement of seats in the Boeing 737-800 - their advantages and disadvantages.

1. Seats that are located next to the window have the advantage that it is possible to observe through it during the flight (this, of course, depends on the time of the weather and the flight). If you fly at night, this advantage does not count. Also, your neighbor will not disturb you if he wants to get up.

These places have one drawback - it’s not very comfortable to leave it yourself. Therefore, if there is no need to go to the toilet quite often or you are going to sleep the whole flight, choose seats by the window.

2. The seats, which are located near the aisle, have their own advantage - it is very easy to get up from it if you need to go to the toilet. The disadvantages are that the neighbor may be disturbed if he needs to get up. Flight attendants with trolleys and passengers who pass through the cabin to the toilets and galley can also interfere. Based on this, if you are flying with a child, you will most likely have to go to the toilet quite often.

Or you yourself have a need to go to the restroom more often, then choose from the edge of the seat.
