Boeing 763 and 767 300 design features. Azur Air aircraft: seat locations. Why you need to choose comfortable seats and how to survive a long flight
The Boeing 767 was developed by The Boeing Company for medium and long-haul airlines. The aircraft made its first flight in 1981. This aircraft is most often used by airlines on flights through Atlantic Ocean. Initially, the Boeing company planned to produce two models: the Boeing 767-100 (short fuselage and capacity of 180 passengers) and the Boeing 767-200 (basic model).
The Boeing 767 cabin is designed to the standards of space and comfort established during the development of the first wide-body airliner, the Boeing 747. Research has shown that the design seats, which was used in 767 (7 passenger seats in a row according to the 2+3+2 scheme) most fully meets consumer needs. The 767's cabin is nearly 1.5 meters wider than earlier aircraft designs.
The Boeing 767-200ER is an aircraft for long-haul airlines. Has an increased fuel reserve. Manufactured since 1984. The Boeing 767-300 has been in production since 1986. An upgraded version of the Boeing 767-200. It features a fuselage enlarged by 6.5 meters, new engines, a reinforced wing and landing gear. The Boeing 767-300ER is an aircraft for long-haul airlines. Boeing 767-400ER is an upgraded version of the Boeing 767-300. It features a 6.5-meter longer fuselage, vertical aerodynamic surfaces at the ends of the wing consoles, and a new cabin (similar to the Boeing 777). Produced since 1999. The Boeing 767-400ERХ is an aircraft for long-haul airlines. The Boeing 767-300 has increased volume for luggage and cargo (114.2 cubic meters). DHL has purchased several aircraft for cargo transportation
The Boeing 767 is one of the most reliable airliners. In one famous incident, a Boeing 767 ran out of fuel at an altitude of 8.5 kilometers ahead of schedule. The plane was able to fly more than 20 kilometers with the engines inoperative and successfully landed at Gimli airfield. After this incident, 767 is sometimes called the "Gimli glider"
Supplied to airlines in Australia, Austria, Great Britain, Spain, Canada, Russia, Nepal, New Zealand, UAE, USA, Philippines, Germany, Sweden, Japan. More than 700 airliners produced

Boeing 767-300ER is a wide-body long-haul airliner. Modification of the Boeing 767-300 with an increased flight range. The longer flight range was achieved by increasing the volume of fuel on board by increasing the maximum take-off weight to 185 tons. By 1993, work to improve the design of the aircraft made it possible to raise the MVM to 187 tons.
The aircraft uses the EFIS digital avionics complex manufactured by the American company Rockwell-Collins, which has six color multifunction displays. A similar complex is used on Boeing 757 aircraft. Power plant options included CF6-80C2B2 and PW4000 engines.
The Austrian airline Lauda Air became the launch customer for the version with Pratt 8c Whitney engines in April 1987. British Airways was the first to purchase the variant with the more powerful Rolls-Royce RB211-524G/H (the variant was certified in December 1989).
The first aircraft took off on November 9, 1986, but Boeing received its first orders for the aircraft only in March 1987 from American Airlines. Deliveries of the aircraft began in February 1988.
Typical routes for this modification were Los Angeles - Frankfurt, Moscow - Beijing, etc.
The version with increased range and passenger capacity of the Boeing 767-300ER has become the most popular in the Boeing 767 family. As of March 2014, 582 aircraft of this modification were delivered. The main competitor of this modification is the Airbus A330-200.
Location and numbering of seats in the cabin, seat layout on the Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. The best and least comfortable seats on the plane
Cabin layout, the best and least comfortable seats on the Boeing 767-300ER
5 row- these are business class seats, very comfortable. Modern business, comfortable chairs that recline to almost 180 degrees. There are 17.1-inch monitors on the wall. Exquisite menu to choose from.
21 row- This is the first row of economy class. The advantage of these seats is that there are no passengers in front and no one will recline their seat on you. Among the small disadvantages: there is a wall in front throughout the flight. But it has mounts for baby bassinets, so it’s convenient for parents.
26 row C, D, E and 27 row. The backs of the seats in these rows have a limitation in reclining, as they rest against the partitions and the kitchen wall. It is not always convenient to be in an upright position.
The distance between rows in economy class is about 83 cm.
28 row. There are no passengers in front, so no one will recline their seat, but throughout the flight there will be a wall in front of their eyes. There are toilets nearby, which may cause some inconvenience due to frequent movement of people.
33 row A,B,G,H and 34 row C,D,E,F. After changing the interior, the backs of the seats recline, the seats are comfortable.
34 row A and H. There is additional legroom, but there may be no armrest on the hatch side.
34 row B, G and 35 row C,D,E,F - the most comfortable places. There is enough legroom in front of them. Toilets and other technical areas are located far away from the sites.
Seats in the last row of economy class. The backrests can be fixed. Also, proximity to toilets can make the flight uncomfortable. Register for these rows last.
Be careful, on almost all aircraft of this type there is a slight difference in row numbering. The extreme numbers differ from the average ones. If you follow these tips, you can find your seat in any aircraft configuration.
Flight performance
- Maximum speed: 910 km/h
- Cruising speed: 850 km/h
- Flight range: 11000 km
- Aircraft capacity: economy class – 328 passengers, economy/business – 269 passengers, economy/business/first class – 218 passengers
The Boeing 767 is a wide-body aircraft for medium and long-haul flights. The first to pass international certification for intercontinental flights over oceans as a machine with two engines.
The debut flight took place in 1981. Commercial use began the following year. The airliner was slightly inferior to Airbus aircraft in terms of range. Boeing immediately began developing a design for longer routes. One after another, the Boeing 767-200ER and Boeing 767-300 were born. The first one had best characteristics in terms of range, and the second - in terms of capacity.
In 1987, Japanese freighters received the first B767-300.
The developers increased the length of the fuselage by more than six meters, other dimensions remained the same. Passenger capacity has increased by almost a quarter. The maximum number of seats is 360.
The first engines were made by General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, then Rolls Royce also participated in production. The power parameters of the motors of this company had great thrust. Customers subsequently chose engines at their discretion.
The operating costs of the airliner have been significantly reduced thanks to the use of modern technologies. A more comfortable level has been created for passengers and pilots.
Boeing's latest design has the best fuel efficiency and reduced noise. There is an electronic control system on board.
In the manufacture of the case, all advanced technologies at that time were used: flexible and durable alloys and materials.
The passenger compartment has a two-aisle system, which is more convenient, according to carriers. The interior space has been expanded by 1.5 meters, which allows you to take more passengers on board.
The cargo compartment is also increased, its capacity is almost half that of similar class aircraft.
Competitive advantages and modifications of Boeing 767 – 300
Since the start of service in 1982, the Boeing 767 has carried more than eight hundred million passengers. The average flight time for all manufactured vehicles of this family is about ten hours a day. Many wide-body competitors are no longer flying, much less in production. This aircraft has been in production for more than three decades and is still in active use today.
Commercial carriers have adopted abbreviated model designations. For example, Boeing 767 - 300, is called B763, and 767 - 200, usually abbreviated as B762.
Base model Boeing 767-300 has a fuselage length of 54.94 meters. Currently, these models are gradually being replaced by the Boeing 787 - 8. In total, more than 700 aircraft were produced different models this row.
Boeing 767 - 300ER is an elongated airbus that covers long distances. In 1989, this car with two powerful engines covered the distance from the USA to the state of Hawaii. Manufacturers increased the take-off weight to almost 190 tons and increased the volume of fuel tanks. Such transformations were necessary for the desired flight range. Examples of 763ER routes are impressive: from Los Angeles to Germany, as well as from Moscow to Beijing. The stretched 763ER model became the best-selling and most operated of the B767 line. The aircraft of this modification is owned by billionaire Roman Abramovich.
767-300F is a cargo version of the 763 ER. The huge machine can accommodate twenty-four pallets measuring 2.2 m * 3.2 m on one deck, and almost thirty on the second. There is a large hatch on the upper deck for loading and unloading. There are three doors on the lower deck for the same purposes.
The Boeing 763 F cargo planes were planned to be converted into military aircraft. The US Air Force saw these models as tankers, military transport vehicles and other purposes. The release of these series was never established.
Flight technical parameters of Boeing 767 300
- Aircraft length – 54.94 meters
- Wingspan – 47.57 meters
- Passenger capacity – from 219 to 360
- Maximum take-off weight – up to 187,000 kilograms
- Empty liner weight – up to 90,000 kilograms
- Flight range – up to 11,500 kilometers
- Cruising flight speed – up to 852 km/h
Location and description of the best seats in the 767 ER cabin (diagram)
This model can accommodate up to 370 passengers. There are two classes of salons here.
From the first to the fifth row there are business class seats. The best seats are in rows 1, 2, 3 and 4. The fifth row seats are located near utility rooms: kitchens and bathrooms. However, the business lounge is separated from the rest by a partition or screen, which still favors a quieter flight.
From the eleventh to the thirty-ninth row (depending on the models), there are economy class seats. Unlike the previous, higher class, the seats are arranged in a 2/3/2 pattern. Therefore, the passages in this option are much narrower. The gaps between the rows are sufficient, but the best are still in the 11th and 27th rows. There is no row of seats in front of them, and there are no backrests that recline for the passenger.
When ordering tickets, please note that the seats preceding the emergency exit (row 25) may have limited backrest reclining capabilities. They may even be blocked altogether.
The thirty-eighth row, the last, according to tradition is worst option. The backs of the seats can be fixed in one position. There is a bathroom at the rear, so frequent foot traffic will disturb you from time to time. Queues may also form, which will interfere with a comfortable rest during the flight.
All seats on the plane have their advantages and disadvantages. So, seats near the windows are traditionally a priority. But when going out, you need to disturb your neighbor. If you get an aisle seat, the passenger is prevented from walking in the cabin.
In general, many will appreciate the large, roomy, comfortable interior.
Long history of success
The Boeing 767-300 is perhaps one of the most successful and successful models of the great aircraft manufacturing company. For many decades, the popular airliner was profitable and competitive.
Currently, many more specimens of this family are in use. They are gradually being replaced by modernized Boeing aircraft.
The Boeing 763 became a timely, progressive and successful project in the history of aircraft manufacturing.
They operate 12 Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. All aircraft have significant differences in their internal layout, number of seats and placement of escape hatches.
By mid-2014, the airline plans to bring them to a single type of cabin configuration. Now only 4 ships have the same seating layout - this is a classic two-class “business/economy” option. The tail numbers of these aircraft are as follows: EI-UNF, EI-UND, EI-UNB, EI-UNA. Just such a scheme will be considered.
1 row belongs to business class. The main advantages are modern finishing, comfortable chairs that recline almost 180 degrees. 17.1" wall-mounted monitors. Exquisite menu. You will feel very comfortable in these places.
WITH 10 rows Economy class starts. In economy class, the row spacing is 83 cm (33 inches).
The advantage of these seats is that no one will recline their seat back on the passengers.
Among the minor drawbacks, it can be noted that some passengers feel uncomfortable looking at the “wall” during a long flight. Also here can be placed mounts for baby bassinets and it is possible for passengers to be close to small children.
IN 16th row (C,D,E) and 17th row the backs of the chairs may be limited in reclining, as they come into contact with the dividing partition or the kitchen wall. Staying upright can be uncomfortable during a long flight.
The row spacing in economy class is 83 cm (33 inches).
18 row belongs to the first row of tourist class. The disadvantages and advantages are the same as those of the 10th row. Additional disadvantages are the close location of the restrooms; other passengers will constantly walk past, creating queues for the toilet.
Also, during the flight, passengers may be disturbed by the sound of the drain tank and unpleasant odors. In fact, these places are the busiest.
IN 23rd row (A,B,G,H) and 24th row (C,D,E,F) the seats are located close to the emergency exit. In accordance with safety regulations, in order not to impede access to emergency doors, the seat backrests may be limited in reclining or locked. Passengers will have to sit in one position throughout the flight. Taking into account the fact that these airliners are used on routes long distance, this brings inconvenience.
Before 24 nearby (A,H) There is free legroom as there is an emergency exit nearby. At the same time, there may be no armrest on the side of the hatch, and the door may “bulge out” slightly.
And here 24 row (B,G) and 25 row (C,D,E,F) can be called the most comfortable seats in this cabin configuration. They are located far from restrooms and other technical rooms. Thanks to the location emergency exits, there is plenty of legroom in front of these rows. Best places in airplane!
The disadvantages of these places are that elderly passengers, parents with small children and transporting animals are prohibited.
In addition, hand luggage cannot be placed in the aisle; all items will have to be placed in the overhead cabinet.
IN last 45 row tourist class, the seat backs can be fixed. In addition, during the flight you can feel the proximity of the toilet rooms and kitchen. It is advisable to register tickets for these places as a last resort.
The distance between rows is 74-78 cm (29-31 inches). In which rows the distance is greater/smaller, we do not know.

I was supposed to fly to Jordan on a 777, it broke down and I had to fly on a replacement 767 ikar - departure from Sheremetyevo. I liked everything, but it felt like the plane was far from new and the distance between the seats was a bit tight, my height is 186... thank God the flight is 4 hours. In most cases, all bumps and other troubles are caused by the weather and the ability to fly the plane. The new 737s also shake... Therefore, blaming aircraft is a thankless task. The 767 is a workhorse with plenty of traction. For comfort, I liked the 777-200 and 777-300 more. People, you better think about the fact that you need to wear compression socks during the flight, drink more water and move - believe me, there are problems in the air that are worse than all the chatter about which there is so much talk on the forums - shocked here, shocked here. The bottom line is - I was training to be a pilot, the 767 is a beast, but not very comfortable, this is a question for the government, which should have long ago come up with normal laws to control the distance between seats - this is not the fault of the plane itself and its developers. I don’t quite understand the point of reviews about a Boeing 767 aircraft - reviews should be written about an aircraft in such and such a company, and not just about the aircraft. Have a comfortable flight.

I flew several times on Boeing 767-300 aircraft with a 2-4-2 formation. Well, this is a real cattle carrier at rush hour. I really just wonder where the government is looking?!!! And how much can you mock people by lining up planes like this!!! soon they will install handrails and they will fly standing up!!! It would be nice if it were for short flights (up to 4 hours), that’s how they install such planes with a flight duration of 8 hours or longer!!! All these airlines like Azur Air, Pegasus, Nord Wind, etc. At least they have gained a conscience!!! Even in the former Soviet republics they don’t think of such a thing, but ours, as always, are ahead of the rest!!!

In 2017, I flew on this plane from Astana to Frankfurt on the Main with Air Astana. Very comfortable, seating arrangement 2+3+2. Everyone has their own monitor with a collection of films and entertainment programs. The salon is new and clean, the toilet in the toilet flushes very interestingly. It is not a blue liquid as before, but is sucked in by air. The 6 hour flight went by unnoticed.

The last time I flew on this plane was in the summer of 2015, from Moscow to Simferopol with Transaero airline. The distance between the seats was very tight, it is obvious that the plane was specially converted for short flights, the seat layout is 2+4+2, and the distance between the seats is very small. The flight itself went perfectly, there was never a jolt, the landing in Simferopol also went smoothly

We flew to Sharm al-Sheikh the other day from Kyiv (azurair)
A beast of course.
Despite its size, it takes off like a racing car on takeoff.
In the air he behaves confidently.
The salon pleased us with its spaciousness.
The landing was a bit rough, but I don’t think it was the plane.
Actually really cool.

For the first time we were allowed on a short 3-hour (with a tail) chartered flight: Kyiv (Borispol) - Sharm El-Sheikh. It turns out that our airline Azur Air Ukraine also has such airliners and, together with its partner Anex Tour, organize short-distance flights to resorts in Egypt.
The aircraft cabin is large. It's nice to fly in this. The chairs are normal. Five monitors show only an animation of the plane's route. It is sometimes interesting to look at where we are: above Odessa or already above Cairo. And you can see these and other cities through the porthole. It turns out to be an interesting connection between animation and reality. If you, like me, are sitting at the porthole. The take-off was almost imperceptible and short, it seemed to me that it was possible that I was constantly taking photographs. But the landing was terrible! It was throwing up and down and from side to side - in Egypt there are strong winds in winter and this was the reason. The turbulence during the flight was mild.

I flew with Pegasus to Phuket and back. The 2-4-2 configuration is clearly not for long-distance flights. During two 10-hour night flights I could not fall asleep even once - very uncomfortable, just terribly.

We flew with the AZUR air company from St. Petersburg to Punta Cana on 10/04/2017. Row 12 (D,E). The flight was 11 hours, the backs of the seats in our row did not recline. The distance from my head to the passenger in front is 15 cm.
Even very average passengers (with a height of 170 cm and above) experience great inconvenience, their knees rest against the seat in front. In a small empty space, the passage between the toilets was arranged " kindergarten" - there was a blanket spread on the floor, on which little children were playing. Passengers and even the flight attendants took this calmly, because they understood that while sitting in their seats, the parents could not pick up the children - there was no room.
With the ship fully loaded, 300 passengers are actually increased by 36, i.e. 4.5 rows are added.
I would not be surprised if in the near future they will deliver several more rows, railings and carry passengers like in a tram....

The plane is wonderful, although not new. We flew from Seoul, takeoff, flight, landing, everything was 5+! We were fed during the flight and the toilets were working. What I remember most was one sociable passenger who transformed the cabin of the plane to suit herself, I’ve never seen anything like this before))) filmed -youtu.be/0DaGiSqItd4

Flew this year - the airline belongs to PegasFly. The pegasus himself was amazing, well, that’s how it always is with them. The planes themselves are normal, well cleaned. The first flight was on a 777. And the return flight was on a 767-300ER. The flight was smooth, maybe it was the skill of the crew, but still... True, we should return to 777, but we had to go to 767-300ER, I thought it would be bad, I was wrong. Slept for half the flight (4 hours) From Jordan to Moscow. I didn’t fall asleep at all on the 777, the air on the runway was very cool, I was thinking right now what it would be like on a rocket, and it’s true... the angle of takeoff was extraordinary. Maybe the weather, maybe mistakes. They took off and did well. Although why did I write about the 777 if there is a 767-300 (ER) ... but oh well)

I can’t say anything about this, but Ikarovsky 767-300, how old is it anyway? The route chosen is so bad that turbulence is normal for 5.20-5.30 hours of flight out of 8 - is this normal?? Shaking clear skies, then change the flight level, no, they will fly, I’m studying to be a civil aviation pilot, but I’ve rarely seen such an attitude towards people and the crew themselves!!! Thank you for bringing us at least, future fellow pilots, I understand that the flight is needed, but not on such air routes, and I understand that without this it’s impossible (it’s a mess), but when you are not allowed or for economic reasons you can’t do it, it’s disgusting!!! The PIC makes decisions in the air and on board, not ground managers who poke their numbers on a calculator!

We flew from Moscow to Vietnam. The penultimate row in the tail section. Being 160 tall, my knees rested on the neighbor’s chair. The table did not recline completely due to the lack of space between the seats. The seat did not recline, during a flight of 11 hours. Constantly crowded near the toilet, endless trips carts with food that touched the passengers. There are 4 seats in the middle row, the outer ones have non-reclining armrests. Each time I had to stand in the narrow aisle between the rows to let out the passengers sitting in the center of the middle row. Not a flight, but 11 hours of torment. The flight seemed like an eternity.

I flew to Phuket in December 2016 on such a plane, 7 hours from Krasnoyarsk, economy class, I got off the plane when we landed, I wasn’t even tired, the seat layout was 2-4-2, I didn’t notice any inconveniences, there was more than enough space, so who’s here? writes that there are inconveniences, etc. then either lose excess weight, or fly with other airlines, and don’t give a shit that this is a bad plane, apparently you haven’t flown on bad ones yet..

06/05/2016. Flight S7-1024. Sochi-Moscow at 16:40. Everything is on schedule. Board - VP-BVH; 767-33AER.
The plane is in excellent condition. Both externally and internally. The smell in the cabin is fresh. The toilets don't smell.
Excellent step between the chairs. Everything is neat and clean. S7 - well done.
The PIC spoke with the cabin, but did not introduce himself. The takeoff is very fast, the thrust of the engines is insane. We got to the echelon quickly enough. The PIC told us what cities we were flying through, what altitude we were flying at, etc. There was a little chatter at Domodedovo, there were a lot of clouds. Landing at 5, the PIC came in on his hands.
Overall great! Thank you very much S7!

Hello. The 767 is a very good plane, yes, I agree that in the low-cost airline it has small seats and a small pitch, but what do you want from the low-cost airline? As a 767 pilot, I declare that this type is good for the crew. The plane obeys the controls well. (Some " "smart people" said that it was chattering in the zone of strong! turbulence... Dear, any plane will chatter (777,747 and even 380 chatter). The problem is the weather, not the aircraft).
X Thank you.

Flighted by American Airlines in a normal 2-3-2 configuration. The flight is over 7 hours and with comfortable seating and movement around the cabin - no problems. So the plane is excellent, and the airlines create “comfort” for their own purposes. The inconvenience was the excessive operation of the air conditioners - Americans love the cold and we even had to wear a jacket. As we see, the problems are opposite.

767-300 - flew in April 2016. to Vietnam. Layout 2-4-2. This is not an airplane, this is some kind of cattle truck. There are so many seats crammed into the cabin that a normal Vietnamese would not fit in. And what can we say for the Russians? We write and write, cuss and swear, but there’s no point. There is a chic and tested millions of times in different countries and eras, the recipe is the government of the Russian Federation, let foreign airlines enter the market and all these Pegasi with their livestock carriers will shrink. And so... chatter! Monopoly is death to everything alive and real. I can't wait for this in my lifetime. I will fly with foreign airlines whenever possible. And the domestic producer who thinks about us...(how to rip more off these sheep), let him go...his own way. And what stars? Spaces must be included.

767-300 completely sucks, 2-4-2 layout which is not advertised, passage only for trolley passage, flight delay of 36 (Thirty-six!) hours due to a technical malfunction flight 2470 Phuket-Chelyabinsk from the operator NordWind dated December 25, 2015, The people waiting for our arrival were deprived of a couple of days of rest out of 11 paid for. I wish this barn with wings a worthy place in the dustbin of history.

Transaero 767-300 in 2-4-2 configuration is complete disgusting. The space is terrible, the width of the seats is small, you sit almost on your neighbor’s lap, it’s impossible to eat, your elbows are like the paws of a praying mantis, they rest on your knees, those sitting next to you rest on their shoulders, you can’t stretch your legs. I flew on it for 8 hours. No entertainment program- no music, nothing. On TV for eight hours they showed an animation of the flight route and showed how Tsar Peter the Arap got married. The flight from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Moscow-Domodedovo was such a disgrace! The website does not show this configuration. In general, this is an excellent plane for guest workers flying around Russia. This plane still luggage compartment remove and put Uzbeks there, add intermediate landings in Russia and you will get a miracle flight of business labor.

To Burgas 11.05, back 25.05.. By Siberians S7. Aircraft B 767-300. Excellent and that's all. Wonderful liners. I have a huge height. 168 cm. Nothing got in the way. 2-3-2. You can dance for 2 hours and 15 minutes. flight between the seats and in the aisles.. A gorgeous plane. I have one question for the captain “who was taking us there.” When contacting the passengers during takeoff from Domodedovo, he introduced himself to us as the crew commander, without telling us his name. And we applaud . And when landing in Burgas, people applauded. And we didn’t know the name of our wonderful Captain. But I remember the last name of the crew commander of the AN-24 flight Chardzhou-Tashauz. In 1975, carried out by the Chardzhou air squad, the Turkmen Civil Aviation Administration.. The last name of this Captain is POOR. Until the end of my life I will remember the name of my former COMMANDER. I also want to know and remember the Siberian Captains.

Flew Novosibirsk-Bangkok-Novosibirsk, B767-300, "Transaero"... salon 2-4-2, before that I flew on the same route on a B767 from the "Sibir" airline 2-3-2, this is normal layout for this plane, and not child seats from Transaero. I immediately remembered the cartoon where the greedy gentleman wanted to sew first two hats from skins, then three... in the end he agreed on seven), accordingly, he received seven hats, the size of a thimble. )).. "Transaero" could simply put handrails in the cabin so that you can fly standing and have something to hold on to and cram in three times more people.

We flew from Khabarovsk to Bangkok on vacation and back to them. The impression was terrible. We flew for 8 hours. Packed with people like sardines in a barrel. Charter flight - Pegasus tourist. Never set foot in this airplane again. There weren’t enough blankets for everyone. Headphones were not distributed. They would turn on the air conditioner, then turn it off, it’s not clear how. It’s stuffy in the cabin. The button for calling the conductors didn’t work for me. The light bulbs in the cabin lived their own lives, blinking when they wanted, that is, the plane with faulty electrical wiring was sent off.

Cool plane! I flew on it from Bangkok to Tashkent. 6 hours flew by practically unnoticed. Comfortable chairs with room to put your feet. Entertainment in every seat. You can listen to music, watch movies, play games. The assortment is small, of course, but enough for 6 hours. Flew with Uzbek Airlines. The plane is not old, the flight itself was also normal. Overall satisfied!

"Flight Blagoveshchensk-Moscow, 767-300, almost 8 hours (07.08.14) Aeroflot, lineup 2-4-2, like herrings in a barrel"
It’s not surprising, this is a charter flight from Russia, there isn’t even a business lounge there. Aeroflot only sells tickets for this flight under the code SU, but in fact Russia is lucky

Although I’m not a frequent flyer, I had the opportunity to fly one to Egypt with Transaero in a 2-4-2 configuration. If I had known that this was such a pain, I would have taken a tour from other operators.
An airplane for people up to 160 tall and weighing up to 50 kg, if such people fly long distances for more than 5 hours, then this is a mockery of people. 737-300 737-800 which I flew before is much more comfortable

On February 6th we arrived from Bongkok, flew back and forth on this plane, no complaints, the only thing that was most depressing was that there was nowhere to put our legs, really, very, very cramped. It feels like they filled more seats than they should have.

Flew both 767 S7s New Year. Great plane. Take-off, flight and landing flawlessly. The flight lasted 8 hours. The only negative is the damn economy. Well, I’ll tell you this everywhere. Take a business and you will be happy.

I was flying on a Transaero flight to Moscow, board EI-UNA, charter option, seats in the economy cabin 2-4-2, I was sitting by the window, at first I didn’t understand why it was so cramped and the seat was a little narrower than usual, and then looking into the middle I saw that there are four seats... It's just a bummer, driving such a board over long distances is simply a mockery of passengers, the distance between the seats was normal for a height of 180 cm. Flew back to EI-UNE, nice salon, the seats were 2-3-2 as usual, the flight was overnight, I slept well, the seat was comfortable.

I have been flying for a long time and a lot, since I have lived in Magadan for 50 years, of all the Boeing 767-300 aircraft, the most comfortable, reliable and the best, you fly and relax, the time in flight passes unnoticed! May God grant health to the one who created this airliner, and to all passengers who fly on any type of aircraft have wonderful takeoffs and landings!

I flew from Moscow to Yakutsk with Aeroflot and Transaero, Aeroflot’s car is newer, cleaner, the seats are more comfortable, but the service and food are no good, Transov’s service is better, they flew 2 times and better. The plane is class, for me, being 2 meters tall, it was comfortable from the flight I wasn’t tired, the AFL flight attendants were aged and tired, the Transov had young girls, I flew the same route on the AFL IL-96, the 767 is more comfortable and there is more space between the seats, and besides, the 96 does not have a luggage rack above the middle rows. The child is 1.2 months old. .they didn’t give anything in the AFL. Good luck to everyone.

The best seats in the Boeing 767 airline s7:
We are talking here specifically about the VQ-BBI board. this is one of two 767 near Siberia)
rows of economy from 6 to 10 inclusive next to the business, separated from the rest of the economy by a partition.
All of these rows, including row 8, have portholes. take it if you have time))
Row 11 is right behind the partition, there is a little less legroom but no one is hanging over, there is more space.
row 27 is wide, opposite the emergency exits! but - without portholes at all, a small peephole doesn’t count))
accordingly, row 26 - the backrests do not go down, the worst row on the plane)
On the last row the backrests are lowered, don’t be afraid.
the wing obscures the view from row 15 to approximately 27.
Happy flying everyone, C7 is a good airline))

The first time we flew long-haul. Flight RnD - Bangkok. The plane belongs to Northern Wind Airlines. The car is quite decent: take-off - 5, at flight level (although we went through the “turbo” four times) - 5, landing - 5. Naturally, this is the passenger’s opinion. There is a feeling of confidence in the car, although more depends on the crews. GOD take care of all those in heaven!

We flew on this plane Novosibirsk-Barcelona-Novosibirsk 06/25/2013-07/08/2013. It’s a bit cramped, there’s not enough space between the seats, and it’s very uncomfortable for people of heavy build to fly for 8 hours. But the rest is great. From Barcelona we flew at the very tail, in the last row, there wasn’t even much shaking. The NordWind company, the entire crew - flight attendants and captain Igor Kolmogorov - are great. Very soft landing in Novosibirsk.

I flew with Aeroflot to Kamchatka. The car is what you need. The travel bag easily fits both on the luggage rack and under the chair. Your legs practically don’t get tired, you can even stretch them out a little. But there were no monitors :(

The plane is good, most importantly reliable. There is one question, flying from Blagoveshchensk to Moscow on the 2-4-2 option is very difficult, it’s just really inconvenient. I looked at the Transaero website, there are 11 767-300 aircraft and the cabin layout of each, but there are no 2-4-2 cabins in any of the 11 aircraft. Then where did this come from? We flew back from Moscow in a 2-3-2 configuration, very comfortable, the flight went well, we landed perfectly in Blagoveshchensk /PIC Vinogradov/. Many thanks to the pilots and cabin crew.

We flew from St. Petersburg to Phuket, North Wind airline. Everything worked out fine, although on the way back the onboard conductors turned out to be sleepy and ineffective. And the lack of blankets made me tense. When you sit at the porthole and it’s -60 outside the window for 10 hours, it’s terrible.

Flew Boeing 767-300 ER S7 Airlines (if you have another option, it’s better not Siberia) Khabarovsk-Bangkok and back January 2013, business class. The planes are old, the seats do not recline horizontally, and it is very uncomfortable to sleep. There is no entertainment (not even music on headphones, not to mention movies). Food and service are good. In economy class, there were no windows in row 8, and in both planes.
Tickets were purchased in advance, at an improved economy class rate, so they cost 5 thousand more than a simple economy class. It’s nice that no time was wasted on registration (there is a separate counter in Bangkok) and we were the first to receive our suitcases.

We flew in March from Ekaterinburg to Phuket with Transaero, the 2-4-2 seat layout is something, I just want to ask: when will Russians stop mocking Russians? Not only is there obviously not enough space, but the chairs are simply tiny, with blank side armrests. I was flying with my wife in a two-seat row and my hip was constantly resting against her, and this was for 9 hours, and imagine if there was a stranger, I’m already silent about the 4-row seats. And all this taking into account the fact that I am not the most large dimensions, and there was a tall man nearby and 130 kilograms, so he had to look for a place separately!!! We flew back with a 2-3-2 configuration and this is a completely different comfort with different seats, by the way here good row 27 along the edges of the emergency exit X P.S. There are no complaints about the service, I even feel sorry for the female flight attendants because they also have to work in these narrow aisles

We flew in August on a B767. Flight Irkutsk-Sharm El-Sheikh via Krasnoyarsk airline North wind. The size of the engines immediately inspires peace of mind. During the flight, it shook less than on the A320 and B737, and the wing flutters less in turbulence. Convenience has already been mentioned, so with my height of 192 cm, I sat “diagonally” for 8 hours. Those who want comfort should take row 31 near the emergency exits; by the way, the 2-4-2 layout begins with this row. For those who like to admire the beauty of the earth - from about 22 to 30 rows of seats above the wing - there are no landscapes to be seen. What’s curious is that when we flew half empty from Krasnoyarsk to Irkutsk, the plane shook almost all the time, but it was tolerable.

We flew with this Boeing airline "Russia" combined with Aeroflot. There they took off sharply and quickly from a deep hole, it was breathtaking, people gasped in unison, and back they took off smoothly. I wonder if it depends on the pilot's character or professionalism. The Boeings of the "Russia" airline are clearly "grown-up", even unpleasant, the dirt between the seats has dried tightly from time to time, the seats are shabby... The crew is ordinary, everything is within limits. It didn't shake much.

I often fly on the Moscow - Khabarovsk route on a B-767-300 (although sometimes they fly Il-96)
As a passenger in this type of aircraft, I’m happy with everything (at Aeroflot)
comfortable seats, distances between seats, monitors, moderate engine noise
food is good (2 times), blankets, pillows, headphones, interior is not cramped
after an 8 hour flight there is no fatigue, the flight is a pleasure
a special word to the crew - always at their best, there were no problems

Last year I flew 767 AFL twice on different planes. Quite comfortable, clean, quiet. Landing and takeoff were good. We landed in Moscow in bad weather and sat down softly. Of course, it all depends on the pilots and the weather. Otherwise it’s quite comfortable. There is enough space between the seats. Large boxes for hand luggage clean salons. It is clear that the cabins are looked after. An eight-hour flight is easily tolerated. The layout is 2-3-2. Transaero has 2-4-2 they say very closely. IL86 is bigger of course

The plane is not bad, but it has one big drawback: there is very little space, there is nowhere to stretch your legs, the back almost does not recline! It is not possible for a large person to sit between the armrests, butt size 54 is not included!

We flew on March 7, 2010 on flight UN 428 Phuket - St. Petersburg on a Boeing 767-300 (1) of Transaero. Flight time 11 hours. The distance between the seats in economy class is 19.5 cm - you have to sit in this gap for all 11 hours! Specific places - 35G and 35F. A neighbor's attempt to stick his legs into the passage ended sadly - he ended up under a cart with Dyutikov's rubbish. Option one - stand at the toilets at the back of the plane most flight. Thus, Trans has introduced standing seats on their flights and charges full price for them.

Guest dated 02/12/2010, I hasten to inform you ("noodles" are completely inappropriate here) that as recently as 02/22/2010 I had the pleasure of flying on flight UN-104 UUS-DME on the B767-200 EI-DBW. Location 22H, near the emergency hatch. It blew ungodly. No blankets or outerwear of our own could save us. The last time I encountered a similar phenomenon was on Tu-154 85610 (“barn”, place - near the rear entrance door in the middle of the cabin). Who and what forgot to “close” in these cases - it’s hard not to appreciate your sarcasm - the average passenger is not very interested. Although it is obvious that in both cases (Boeing was 23 years old and Tu-154 was almost the same age) age and insufficient sealing of doors and hatches are taking their toll. On new or not very old cars, this does not manifest itself so painfully (9 hours under the blowing of cold air streams at best causes discomfort, and at worst - sniffles and something more interesting). So everything requires care and respect for age. Although they often save on this, regardless of the sound of the historical surname.
In general, I like the 767: it’s neither narrow nor wide, 2-3-2 is good, the shelves don’t crush like in the 777, and they are quite enough for a normal passenger, and not for a bag hog. The very fact that 767s have worked great for over 20 years speaks for itself. The car is comfortable, solid, reliable. And 2-4-2 is a configuration only for cheap charters, but not for regular flights with standard fares. No matter how proud Russia is of its 767s, flying the LED-KHV in such conditions is humiliating. Especially compared to the 767 and A330 of other airlines flying to the East (Petersburgers are clearly unable to compete with Vladivostok-Avia).

I regularly fly on these planes on the Anadyr-Moscow route and back. Flight time is 8 hours. Airlines "Transaero". The last time I flew was in August 2009. I don’t know how many years this plane has been flying, but it feels like they are about 40 years old. All the inscriptions are in English and Arabic. Apparently it came from some Arab airline. Not a single door in the toilet closes. I sat in the 3rd row of economy class, the distance between the seats was so narrow that I had to sit for the entire eight hours with my knees exposed to the aisle, the window rattled all the time and there was a draft coming out of it. Overall a nightmare. Cattle truck!

I constantly fly on a Boeing 767-300 with Aeroflot Los Angeles-Moscow-Los Angeles (SU321/322). The planes are excellent: spacious, clean, comfortable seats. The flight is great: the variety of films and audio recordings is pleasing. Easy takeoff and soft landing, even not discussed! Thanks to Boeing for such planes, and to our dear Aeroflot for such a flight!

We flew by AEROFLOT from Moscow, 01/10/10. The flight was delayed for two hours. The plane is not new, but in decent condition, although the TVs did not work very well. But the staff, or crew, was at the highest level. I flew with AEROFLOT for the third time and the professionalism of the crew always brightened up minor troubles that can happen during the flight.

We flew on New Year holidays to Moscow, Aeroflot. The flight there was delayed for 6 hours, back to Khabarovsk for an hour. On the plane - quite comfortable, flies well, in general I like Aeroflot pilots. What I didn’t like - it’s clear from the cabin that the plane is old - the upholstery material on the seats is all cracked, the TVs in the cabin are apparently still tube-based, with impaired color reproduction - for example, in the first cabin the central TV shows more or less normally, the next one in the cabin has The background is always red, and the third one is green. On a flight to Moscow, the headphone jack in my seat did not work; I had to connect them in my wife’s seat. During the flight back, the air conditioning system worked strongly in the first cabin; a fairly strong flow of air was constantly blowing on the passengers. I saw several passengers ask the stewards to reduce the flow, to which they received the answer that it was a central system and there was nothing they could do. When we flew to Moscow, we were in the second cabin; there was no such nonsense with air conditioning. So if you fly on the A. Pushkin, I recommend the second cabin :) Well, or take seats in the center, it’s not so windy there.
And also, for those who fly through Terminal D of Sheremetyevo, don’t repeat our mistake, don’t expect to eat normally after passing the inspection - there are only 2 cafes, one has an insane price tag and a lot of people. And in the second cafe there was a shift change that lasted almost forty minutes.

An excellent plane, I flew in Siberia from Moscow to Irkutsk for 5 hours, everything was fine. The distance between the seats and the height of the seats are good (unlike the a-310, also Siberia, which is sometimes installed instead of the b-767)
