All Airbus A320s in the fleet of Rossiya Airlines have the same cabin layout, which cannot be said about other types of aircraft.
In essence, the interior layout of the A320 follows that of the A319, with a few exceptions.

general information

A320 interior layout

Read our article for general tips on choosing the best places.

Business Class

There are 3 rows in the bow of the A320 for the business class cabin. Classic wide seats arranged in a 2 x 2 pattern. There are two windows for each seat A or F in a row.

We will not dwell in detail on the description of the business class, because. any seat in any row provides comfort in flight.

Economy class

How to choose the best seats in the A320 cabin and get the most out of your flight with Rossiya Airlines?
Economy class, on this type of aircraft, starts at 4 and ends at 29 next.

Row 4

If you are not a frequent flyer, it will be useful to know that the first row of the economy class has the best seats in the Airbus A320.

An exception is the option when the salon was converted from full economy into eurobusiness + economy.

Seats in the 4th row have increased legroom. Ahead, instead of a chair with an unpredictable passenger, there is a partition.
Not having a chair in front of you is a big plus. No one will lean back, invading personal space. Children will not throw their toys into your lunch.

The absence of queues for the toilet at the nose of the aircraft, because the must see in any liner are the toilets in the tail. Well, you will be the first to taste the served food in a full range, fresh and hot.
At the disposal of passengers in seats A and F, two windows each - twice as many landscapes outside the window, one might say.

Rows 5-8
The pitch of the seats in these rows is standard. This block of seats has the advantages of the bow of the cabin, described above.
Except for the 8th row. The view from the porthole can be partially obscured by the leading edge of the wing and the engine of the aircraft. There may also be increased noise during the flight.

Rows 9-11
Seats in both rows are above the wing. Seats 9A and 9F have a partial window view. Of the inconveniences of the 9th row - increased noise from the engine is possible.
The block of seats above the wing is a low noise zone. The aircraft engine completely closes the wing and cuts off the noise in this part of the cabin.

You can buy tickets for Rossiya Airlines flights On this site.

Row 12
Emergency row with increased legroom in seats B, C, D, E. Keep in mind that in the seats next to the windows, legroom is standard.

Rows 13-16
All the advantages and disadvantages of the seats above the wing are described above.

Row 17
The disadvantages of the seats include the trailing edge of the wing that partially obscures the view and increased noise from the engine in flight.

Row 18-28
If you want to be in the thick of things, if you like mass gatherings of people - you are in the tail section of the cabin.
The parameters of the seats here are no different from the seats in the bow of the A320, just keep in mind. The closer to the tail your place is, the more often you will contemplate the line of those suffering to get into the toilet rooms, which, while waiting, will lean on the backs of the chairs near the aisle, creating increased noise from conversations.

Airbus A320 is one of the most popular airliners of our time. The Russian air carrier Aeroflot has 60 units of this model in its fleet.

Let's take a closer look at the Airbus A320 cabin layouts available on the Aeroflot website:

On flights today, two similar cabin configurations are used, which allows us to consider the seats of both on the example of one. Until recently, there was only one configuration, but now the difference is only in the number of seats in business and, accordingly, economy classes.

In order to choose the best places/worst places, take as an example configuration 1. It is she who is used in most of the Airbus A320 in the Aeroflot fleet. For convenience, similar places in configuration 2 will be indicated in parentheses.

1-5 (1-2) rows assigned to business class seats. In this model of aircraft, unlike the same A330, the distance between the rows is limited. The first row is different. Among its features:

a) Business chairs have a fairly large angle of inclination, but there will be no chairs in front of you, so you can not be afraid that someone might recline their backs.

b) In business class, they rarely fly with small children, but each cabin is equipped with mounts for baby cots, which are located on the wall in front of the first row. Therefore, be prepared for the fact that the company will be made up of children.

c) Since the footrests - special footholds - are installed in aircraft of this model under the seat in front, you will be deprived of this convenience.

Seats in 6 (6) row located in front of the barrier. These places have both advantages and disadvantages:

a) The distance between the rows in economy class is even less than in business, so a separate row gives a great advantage to its passengers: no one can recline their seat on you.

b) This row is the first to receive food, since service begins from it.

c) Too little space to stretch the legs, but enough for the knees.

d) Each wall is equipped with cradle attachments, so you can fly with small children.

e) The entire review is occupied by the wall in front.

However, it is up to you to decide whether to take these places or not.

8 (12) row it loses a lot to other economy class seats. On the one hand, they are closer than others to the emergency exits. On the other hand, it is for this reason that their backs usually do not recline or are very limited in this.

9 (13) row also has the disadvantage of reclining the backs of the seats, but this is successfully compensated by the large distance between the rows. This convenience allows you to comfortably sit and, if necessary, stretch your legs. Also, if any of the neighbors decide to get up, they can pass without disturbing you. The extreme places A and F lose a little to the central ones C, D, B, E, as they can be slightly beveled due to the proximity to the emergency hatch.

End points 10A and 10F (14A and 14F) also a little crooked, because they are close to the emergency exits, but the backs of their seats recline easily, and there is a lot of legroom between the rows.

The best seats in economy class are in the same 10 row B,C,D,E (14 B,C,D,E). Passenger comfort is achieved due to the increased legroom (due to the proximity of the same emergency exits), while the seat backs easily recline. However, if you are carrying carry-on luggage, it cannot be placed under the seats or at the feet, which can make it difficult to access escape hatches.

Besides, 9 (13) and 10 (14) rows not accessible to the elderly, people with disabilities and passengers with children.

Aisle seats in row 24 (29) (C, D) may not be the most comfortable for passengers due to the close proximity of toilet cubicles. This means a constant crowd of people at the chairs, wanting to get there as soon as possible, and endless walking past.

Seats 25 (30) row, the latter in the cabin, are considered the most uncomfortable on the plane. They are located close to the toilets, which causes a lot of inconvenience: from a possible smell to people constantly passing by and crowding people who want to get into the coveted booth. In addition, the entire flight will take place to the accompaniment of a drain tank and a slamming door. And even more passengers in these places will be upset by the inability to recline some of the seats.

These are bad places, they should be taken last.

Other seats are standard for aircraft of this class and do not have pronounced pluses or minuses in terms of convenience during the flight.

The Airbus A320 aircraft is one of the best narrow-body aircraft of all Airbus products. This company produces liners of high quality and comfort; Airbus aircraft are economical on routes of short and medium distances.

The Airbus A320 made its first flight in 1987 and immediately won recognition in the world civil aviation. This aircraft can carry from 150 to 180 people. In the first case, business class seats are 2 + 2, and in economy class - 3 + 3. To understand which seats on the plane are considered the best, you need to familiarize yourself with the seating chart of the cabin.

Aeroflot actively uses Airbuses in its fleet. The total number of these aircraft reaches 67 units. The location of the seats on the Airbus 320 aircraft will now be considered.

The Airbus A320 cabin layout has several options. Each of them does not infringe on the comfort of passengers. The following options are available:

• quadruple (business class);
• five-seater;
• six-seater.

In the picture you can see the location of the seats and the width of the aisles.

As with all aircraft, business class seats are located at the head of the vessel. In the Airbus A320, this is row 1-5. The step between the rows is small, but this is enough to make passengers feel comfortable. It is worth noting some features of the first row:

• in front of the passenger on the wall there is a mount for a baby cradle;
• a passenger in the front row may not worry that the back of the seat in front of him will lean back;
• at the same time, there is no footrest on the front rows, as the passengers of the next rows have.

Seat numbering on Airbus A320 aircraft Aeroflot

We invite you to study the numbering of seats for passengers who are going to fly by Airbus A320, the cabin layout is also posted on the Internet.

There are both bad and best seats on the plane. Aeroflot provides seating charts for aircraft cabins in the Internet. There are also standard places, being on them, there are neither any advantages nor negative points.

The figure above shows a diagram of the Airbus A320 aircraft, Aeroflot allows you to choose suitable seats yourself if you wish.

Aeroflot business class cabin A 320

The best seats in the Airbus A320

The sixth, ninth (with comments), and also the tenth row are considered the best places on the plane. Concerning sixth row, then here you can not be afraid:

• backs folded down in front;
• you will get your food first, because it is from you that the distribution of food comes;
• there are attachments for cradles, it is convenient when flying with children.

Of the negative points, one can single out a limited space for outstretched legs; not everyone is comfortable looking all the way into a blank wall.

In the ninth row The backs, unfortunately, do not recline, but there is free legroom. You can easily skip your neighbors without getting up. Tenth row, seats A and F somewhat beveled due to the emergency exit, while the legs are larger than usual, the backrests also recline as standard.

The most comfortable and best seats on the Aeroflot a320 economy class aircraft are in the tenth row B, C, D, and E.

There is a lot of space for outstretched legs due to being close to the emergency exit, the seats recline calmly, the seats are not beveled, like A and F. There is only one limitation - you can’t put hand luggage at your feet. Only this moment is unlikely to upset passengers in these places.

Remember, passengers with children, the elderly and people with disabilities will not be seated in rows 9 and 10, emergency exits must be released mobilely in emergency cases.

Aeroflot is the leading Russian civil aviation airline. The company has one of the youngest fleets in the world with 214 aircraft for short and medium haul routes. Of these, 73 are Airbus A320s.

Compared to other aircraft of similar size, the Airbus 320 has a more spacious passenger cabin and roomy shelves for hand luggage. Since 2012, the A320 airliner has been undergoing modernization, as a result of which the wingtips were replaced with sharklets, which resemble shark fins in their appearance. This process involves saving fuel, increasing the load by 450 kg and increasing the efficiency of air travel. Modern aircraft of this model do not require conversion, since the reinforcement of the wings is now done during assembly.

Airbus A320 cabin map Aeroflot

The plan of the passenger cabin is two-class. Recently, Aeroflot airline has been using two configurations, which differ only in the number of seats of different classes. The aircraft will accommodate 140 or 158 passengers, depending on the layout of the cabin. Each of them has 20 or 8 business class seats and 120 or 150 economy class seats, respectively.

The current layout of the salon

In order not to make a mistake with the choice of a place, you should clarify which particular cabin configuration will be applied during your flight. But most often the interior scheme is 20/120.

Business Class

This sector is located in the nose of the aircraft. Business class is always distinguished by comfort and a high level of service. Regardless of the configuration of the aircraft, the seats are located 2 on each side of the aisle, that is, 4 seats in a row. A decent distance between the seats, will allow you to feel free. The seats are much more comfortable than in economy class, they are wide and equipped with a reclining backrest system at a large angle. The chair in front of you is equipped with a footrest. There is a separate bathroom, especially for business class passengers.

Consider the scheme that occurs in most cases, where business class seats are located from the 1st to the 5th row.

There is a wall in front of the 1st row seats. This can be considered a plus, since there is even more space and no one will lean back in front of you. But there are also disadvantages, the presence of a partition can limit the feeling of freedom, and the absence of a chair deprives the footrest. There will be a cradle mount on the wall, which is convenient for those who travel with a small child, but not when your neighbors are with the baby, and you want to relax.

From the 4th to the 5th row, seats that have all the benefits of business class to the fullest.

Economy class

Passengers of this class are provided with comfortable seats, they are located 3 on each side of the aisle, a total of 6 seats in a row. From the previous one, this class is separated by a partition. Unfortunately, the bathrooms here are only in the back of the cabin.

Economy class starts from the 6th row. Since there is also a wall here, passengers in this row are provided with more amenities due to the extra space. It is worth noting the absence of passengers in front who would like to recline. All this is more valuable than in business class, because compared to the distance between other seats, you can feel the difference. For the same reason, the armrests will be fixed, because they have built-in folding tables. Again, the presence of a partition creates a feeling of a closed space.

It is useful to know that mobile armrests are inherent in places in the 7th and from the 11th to the 25th rows.

In the 8th row, the backs of the seats are motionless, due to the location of emergency exits behind them. This is strictly for security purposes.

The 9th row has the same properties as the 8th, but at the same time there is space for passage to the emergency exit. Thanks to this, there is additional space to stretch your legs. It will also be much easier to get up and out of here. Seats A and F may not be comfortable, they are located near the hatch and most likely in a slanted position.

The 10th row is located in front of the emergency exit, there is legroom, while the backs recline as they should. There is a drawback of seats A and F in that, due to their proximity to the hatches, the seats are crooked. But B, C, D, E are considered places of increased comfort, they are also called Space +.

Free space on the floor, in these two rows, is prohibited to fill with hand luggage. This will help to block passages to emergency hatches.

Important! Pregnant women, passengers with children or animals, the elderly or people with disabilities should not fly on the rows in front of the emergency exits.

If you want to sit near the porthole to contemplate the view from the window, the presence of the wing will limit the view, in places from the 11th to the 15th row.

From the 16th to the 24th row are ordinary economy class seats. A distinctive pattern, the farther to the end, the closer to the toilets.

The seats of the 25th row are considered the most uncomfortable. Firstly, close proximity to the bathrooms will provide inconvenience in the form of an unpleasant smell, noise and increased traffic, and even a queue near your place. In addition, the backs of the seats do not recline, as there is a partition at the back. You will be forced to sit in one position for the entire flight.

The best places on the A320 are:

In business class:

• 1st row seats

In economy class:

• all seats in the 6th row;
• places B,C,D,E - 10th row.

The worst seats are located only in the economy class, these are:

• seats of the 8th row;
• seats of the 25th row.

Helpful information

When choosing the best place for yourself, everyone is guided by personal needs. In turn, we want to bring to your attention a few more general tips.

1. Seats at the front of the aircraft are comparatively quieter and have fresher air as the air conditioning system works better here. The middle section is dominated by moderate noise and a low sense of turbulence. Despite all the shortcomings of the tail section of the cabin, it is the safest
2. Most often, passengers choose seats near the windows so that they can look out the window. But few people think that at night this dignity is reduced to zero. At the same time, there is an advantage if you want to have a quiet time or sleep, no one will touch you at this place. But if you need to go out, you have to disturb the neighbors.
3. Seats located near the aisles are convenient in that it is much easier to get up and out of them when necessary. But if your neighbors often go out, you will need to make an effort all the time in order to let them through. In addition, flight attendants with a trolley, and even more so everyone who walks around the cabin, can hurt you throughout the flight.

When traveling, people try to choose the most comfortable way to fly, trusted companies and aircraft with the best reviews. Many do not tolerate air travel and try to book seats on the liner with maximum comfort for themselves. Consider one of the most popular models among air transportation companies - the Airbus A320.

Interior configuration features

This aircraft belongs to the category of medium-haul passenger aircraft, flying from 6 km to 150 km. The original version was an Airbus A320-100, which was soon modified with an additional fuel tank and changed the wing tip of the aircraft. The configuration of both models is practically the same, except for the number of seats in the business sector.

For information. Compared to other liners of similar size and class, the A320 surpasses them with a spacious cabin for passengers, ample places for hand luggage, convenient hatches for loading luggage and a significant deck capacity for cargo.

Passengers are given access to change the level of lighting near their seat, which is important during a long flight. Manufacturers updated the monitors in the computer network of the cabin and cockpit, the displays were replaced with LCD equipment. The convenience of the flight at a low cost ensured the popularity of the Airbus A320 among passengers.

Seats

When considering the Airbus A 320, the cabin layout suggests several options for the location of seats in the cabin, but all of them are designed for maximum passenger comfort. Seats are mounted on both sides, and the space between them is spacious enough to move around the cabin. There are 2 comfort classes in total: Economy and Business class.

Business class sector

5 rows in the first and 2 rows in the second cabin configuration are allocated for places of increased convenience. The space between the seats is limited, and the 1st line itself has its own characteristics:

• Seats in business class have more recline, but there are no seats or reclining seats in front of the first row;
• The increased comfort sector is rarely used by passengers with children, but there are mounts for cradles near the seats in the first row;
• On the A320 series, the footrests are installed on the seats of the previous row, so this convenience is not available in the first line of business class seats.

Economy class

In the Airbus A 320, the cabin is divided into economy and business class, and starting from the 6th row in both configurations there is an economy sector, separated by a partition from the superior comfort rows. In the second configuration, where the business class is only 2 rows, this part of the cabin already begins with the 3rd row of seats.

3 (6) row

Seats in the first row of the economy class have their advantages and disadvantages:

• There is limited spacing between rows, but there will be no reclining seats ahead due to a partition, allowing for some extra space;
• This row of seats will receive food and water first as flight attendants move out of the business area;
• The partition makes it difficult to stretch the legs, but the knees are much more spacious due to the lack of front seats;
• There are cradle mounts in each wall, which can lead to flying in the company of children;
• The view is closed by a wall that encloses another sector of the aircraft cabin.

8 (12) and 9 (13) rows

These seats are located near the emergency hatches, which is not very convenient for passengers - the backs are locked vertically. This gives an advantage to passengers in the 9th row of seats (13th in the second configuration) - there is significantly more legroom, which is very convenient for long-haul flights. If a neighbor needs to visit the toilet, he will freely pass by due to the sufficient space. The central seats are located more freely, and closer to the emergency hatches there is a slight misalignment of the backs, which can cause discomfort when sitting for a long time.

10 (14th) row

Seats on the 10th row (14th if the Airbus is of the second configuration) are the most convenient, since they are located immediately behind the emergency exit hatches from the aircraft. The legroom is sufficient for the passage and free location of the passenger, but it will not be possible to place things, since free passage to the hatches is required.

Important! Pregnant women, small children or the elderly should not be in these places. In an emergency, you will have to provide assistance to both passengers for evacuation and the crew, if necessary.

24 (29th) row

On the 24th (29th) row, the aisle seats are not suitable for a comfortable flight, because there is a toilet compartment nearby. Thus, there will often be people waiting for their turn to use the restroom near the seat backs of these seats. The flow of visitors to the toilet will constantly pass by these places against the backdrop of a constant drain of water, smell and sounds from the sanitary facilities.

25 (30th) row

This row in the aircraft cabin is the last and is considered the most inconvenient, since it is located directly next to the restroom. Because of this, the backs of the seats do not recline, and the toilet door closes almost at the passenger's shoulder. There are smells from the restroom and the sound of water. These places are considered the worst and are not recommended for purchase.

All seating arrangements in the Airbus A320 are standard for all models of aircraft in this group and do not have any particular disadvantages or advantages in terms of comfort during flights.

Airbus A320 in various airlines

The Airbus A320 is used by many companies for flights to various destinations. These are Ural Airlines, Aeroflot, Russia, S7, Yamal, Air Arabia and others. Air carriers can change the arrangement of the cabin for the convenience of passengers, but for the Airbus A320, the location of the seats remains the same in most cases.

Air Arabia aircraft - Airbus A320

The carrier company Air Arabia is a typical low-cost airline that uses only one model of liners. In this airline, the Airbus A320 differs from others in its cabin layout - it has 168 seats, not 180. 12 seats were removed to improve passenger comfort, since the main flight directions last more than 3 hours. The best places in these liners are in the first four lines of seats, as well as in the 12th, near the emergency hatch. These seats will require a surcharge when purchasing a ticket.

Airbus A320 in Rossiya Airlines

The Rossiya company (Moscow) uses the Airbus320 of a standard configuration with the first three rows of increased comfort. The first row behind the cockpit is recognized as less convenient, since it is in this place that there is a partition that interferes with stretching the legs and viewing the seated passenger. Economy class seats start from the 4th row, in which the seats recline, and the bypass with meals for the stewards begins in ascending numbering. The most uncomfortable places are at the end of the cabin, on the 29th row. This is due to the proximity of the toilets and the impossibility of reclining the backs of the seats.

Airbus A320 at S7 Airlines

S7 Airlines also uses this airliner, and in the seating plan of the Airbus A320 cabin there are no differences from similar models of Aeroflot. Airbus industrie A320 is identical to its 3rd row to the 6th in the Aeroflot airliner, and the lines of seats from 10 to 12 are similar to the 8-10th row of Aeroflot.

Airbus A320 at Ural Airlines

Ural Airlines offers 3 rows of business class and 24 rows in the Economy sector. Of all 156 seats on the plane, the 10th row is located near the emergency hatches, while there are restrictions on the category of passengers for these seats.

Airbus A320 in Red Wings

The aircraft fleet of the Red Wings air carrier is constantly replenished with new models of airbuses, including the Airbus A320 Red Wings. The landing pattern is similar to other models of this group.

Salon of the Airbus A320 of the Red Wings company.

Before buying tickets for charter and regular flights, you should check the landing plan from the photo on the official website of the carrier company and the availability of tickets in the online help system. The convenience of flying is an extremely important component of any trip.
