Airbus a321 100 200 seat locations. Airbus A321 aircraft: numbering of seats in the cabin, seat map, best seats. Airplane seating diagram
The Airbus A321 is the largest aircraft in the A320 family. S7 Airlines operates the A321 in a business + economy configuration.
Characteristics of A321
Layout of seats in the A321 cabin: 
Business class seats
Business class on the A321 has 8 seats. The seats are arranged in a 2 x 2 configuration. Any of the seats in this class will provide you with comfort during the flight. The attached photo clearly shows the interior.
Economy class seats
As in any economy class cabin, the A321 of S7 Airlines has best places, common ones and places to avoid when registering.
Row 3
The best seats on the plane are located in this row. Some passengers claim that the partition between business class and the 3rd row of economy class creates discomfort during the flight.
I see only advantages in having this wall.
- No one will lower the back of the chair in front and limit your space.
- During the flight, you see a positive light green picture, and not someone’s hair or, conversely, the absence of it.
- Children will not play with dolls/cars on the back of the chair in front of you, dropping toys into your coffee.
- A queue-free toilet near you.
- Guaranteed hot lunch and full range of drinks.
Carry-on luggage can be placed in overhead bins. If there is no free space on the shelf, give your bag to the flight attendant - he will find somewhere to place your luggage.
Rows 4-8
Regular places. Standard seat pitch. The view from the window is not blocked by the wing or engine. Those who choose an aisle seat will not be disturbed by passengers walking around the cabin or queuing for the toilet.
As practice shows, toilets at the rear of the cabin are in greater demand than at the bow.
The noise and hum of voices will literally remain behind you.
Row 9
I do not recommend choosing seats in this row for those who like to look at the landscapes during the flight. There are no window seats here. Among the additional inconveniences of being seated in seats 9B and 9E, I would include the contemplation of the outstretched legs, with or without shoes, of passengers from the 10th row who checked in in seats A and F.
Row 10
Important! Seats with extra legroom are A and F only!
The rest of the seats do not differ in parameters from the seats, for example, in the 5th row.
Row 11
The seat pitch is standard. Inconveniences can be caused by partially blocking the view from the window, the engine on the wing and increased noise from operation at some stages of the flight.
Rows 12-19
The seats in these rows are practically in the middle of the cabin. As a rule, in aircraft similar to the A321, food begins to be distributed from the nose and tail at the same time.
Passengers in center rows (12-19) may receive a limited selection of food without choice.
These rows are also not suitable for those who like seats by the “window”. All views are covered by a wing.
Row 20
The view from the window is partially obscured by the trailing edge of the wing and the engine. Additional noise may occur during takeoff and landing.
Row 22
Unique series. Practically, business class. There are two chairs and there are no people on the left or right. Just as there is no room for 22F – i.e. at the porthole. In place of this seat there may be the outstretched legs of a passenger from seat 23F.
Row 23
The seats in this row have increased legroom.
1. Depending on the tail number of the Airbus A321 at S7 Airlines, Extra Space seats may differ.
2. Portholes in this series missing!
Row 24-34
Regular seats, standard seat pitch. The closer you are to row 34, the greater the likelihood of seeing a queue for the toilet.
Row 35
The seats in the last row are traditionally the worst seats on any plane.
The seat backs in this row do not recline, which creates inconvenience on a long flight. Proximity to the most visited toilets A321.
Discomfort from slamming doors, conversations and people leaning on the backs of chairs while waiting in line to go to the toilet, etc.
The Airbus A321 is part of the Airbus A320 family of narrow-body aircraft serving short- and medium-haul passenger flights with a flight range of up to 5000-5900 km. The capacity of this board is up to 236 passenger seats.
The aircraft is popular with Russian and foreign airlines. Business class may be allocated on board.
Airbus A321 cabin layout for different airlines
The layout of passenger seats on an Airbus A321 aircraft is always determined by the airline. Accordingly, you need to choose the best seats, guided by the layout of the exact plane on which you will fly.
Aeroflot
At Aeroflot, there are three options for the layout of the Airbus A321 airliner.

Ural Airlines
On board the Airbus A321 " Ural Airlines“There is no business class, and three conventional economy class sectors are distinguished only by emergency exits.
The carrier does not indicate the best seats on the Airbus A321 on the official map. However, according to reviews and common practice, the most comfortable seats for the flight will be those with increased legroom, located in front of the emergency exits. On the diagram of the Airbus A321 cabin, the following seats are located: 11th row - all, 12th row - A, F, 26th row - all.
The worst seats, traditionally, are near the toilet (limited recline of the seat back, little space for hand luggage) and every average of the 3.
S7 Airlines
S7 Airlines allocates a very small business class at the beginning of the cabin on its flights. There are other differences from the schemes presented above.
Airbus A321-100/200 seat map at S7
- Business class - 8 seats in rows 1, 2;
- Economy class - 189 seats;
- Seats with increased legroom - 10th row seats A, F; 23rd row - all or only the extreme ones.
The main feature of the layout is the 22nd row, where there are only two seats, and not next to the window. There is no extra legroom, but these seats will be a real boon for those flying as a couple.
Nordwind (Nordwind, North Wind)
Business class in Airbus aircraft A321-200 at the air carrier Nordwind Airlines No. There are 220 economy class seats on board, with the exception of the VP-BHN flight, which has 210 seats. Number of rows - 38.

- 1st row - A, B, C, D, E, F;
- 11 row - A, B, C, D, E, F;
- Row 26 - A, B, C, D, E, F.
Bad places where the back of the chair does not recline are also highlighted in the diagram:
- 10 row - A, B, C, D, E;
- 25 row - A, B, C, D, E;
- Row 38 (last, near the toilets) - A, B, C, D, E, F.
Red Wings Airlines (Red Wings)
In the Red Wings Airlines fleet, the stretched Airbus A321 airliners replaced the previous model, the Airbus A320.
The cabin is equipped only in an economy class configuration with 220 seats. Seating chart: 3-3.

The Airbus A321 is the largest representative of the Airbus line of narrow-body aircraft. Narrow-body Airbus aircraft united in the so-called “A320 Family”, which also includes the A318, A319, A320 and the A321 itself. Let us remind you that narrow-body aircraft are those in which there is only one longitudinal passage between the seats in the middle of the cabin.
The A321 is 44.51 meters long and, when fully loaded, has a range of 5,950 km.
This model provides the lowest cost per kilometer of flight distance per passenger among narrow-body aircraft, in other words, due to low fuel consumption and large passenger capacity, a flight of 1 km on the A321 costs less per passenger than on other narrow-body aircraft. The A321 is equipped with new wingtips, which Airbus calls Sharklets. We talked about them in detail in a previous article about the Airbus A320 aircraft. We only note that the new winglets improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing, reducing fuel consumption and increasing flight range.
From 2015, it is planned to introduce new engine versions for the A320 Family. Using the new engines in conjunction with the wingtips will reduce fuel consumption by up to 15 percent and increase the flight range by an additional 900 km or the payload by 2 tons.
In a two-class configuration, the A321 aircraft seats 185, and in single-class cabins up to 220 passengers. With the new A321neo model, Airbus plans to increase passenger capacity through optimized use of the aircraft's cabin. New changes to the layout will increase the number of passenger seats to 240, while still maintaining comfortable seats with a width of 18 inches.
The A321, like the A320, has 4 doors (two on each side of the fuselage, in the nose and tail) and 4 emergency hatches (two on each side of the fuselage, in the middle). But unlike the A320, the A321's emergency hatches are not located nearby, but are spaced out over a long distance.

Aeroflot Airbus A321 seating diagram
Business Class.
As you can see in the Aeroflot A321 cabin diagram, the first 7 rows are dedicated to business class. There are 4 comfortable chairs in each row - two chairs on each side of the aisle. Although the A321 is a narrow-body aircraft, the cabin design allows for fairly wide seats.
Of the business class seats, pay special attention to the first row. Its peculiarity is that there is a partition directly in front of the first row, for some this is a plus, for others it is a minus. You just need to take into account that if you choose the first row, you will have to admire the wall for the entire flight. But on the other hand, no one will lean back on you. The first row is a little closer to the toilet, but not so much that it causes any inconvenience.
The last row of business class also has its own characteristics. Firstly, it is close to the noisier economy class, and secondly, there is a partition directly behind the last row of business class, and your seat may not recline fully.
Economy class
As you can see in the diagram, in the Aeroflot A321 cabin, toilets are located in three places: in the bow for business class, in the middle of the cabin and in the tail for economy class.
8th row. This is the first row of economy class. The seats in this row are called luxury seats and are among the best on the Airbus A321. They are located just after the escape hatches, which give the 8th row seats a fairly generous amount of legroom. You won't disturb your neighbor (or you) when you want to get up. A small drawback of these chairs is that the armrests are motionless, since folding tables are built into them. This feature is also found in other seats that are located at a distance from the front row.
However, there are restrictions - passengers with children or pets, as well as passengers with disabilities, are usually prohibited from sitting in this row. disabilities and elderly passengers. Also you can't put hand luggage at your feet so as not to block the path to the emergency exit.
The two outer seats of the 8th row (A and F in the diagram) are also distinguished by the fact that, due to the proximity to the emergency exit, it can be a little cold there, in the leg area. However, you can always ask the flight attendants for a blanket.
9 - 17 rows. Seats in these rows are regular. There are no special features. It works here general rule– the closer to the nose of the plane, the earlier food and drinks are served and the richer the assortment will be. The closer to the end of the compartment, the closer to the toilet with all the ensuing consequences.
18th row. The close proximity to the toilet naturally has its drawbacks - queues for the restroom, possible odors, sounds of doors and water draining. In addition, behind the 18th row there is a wall of the toilet, which does not allow the seats to be reclined.
19th row. This is the first row of the second economy class compartment. As can be seen in the Aeroflot A321 cabin diagram, these seats are located near the second pair of escape hatches. There are only 4 seats in this row; there are no outer seats so as not to interfere with evacuation in case of an emergency. Of course, the advantage of this row is that there is a lot of legroom in front of the seats, but this advantage is easily offset by the proximity to the toilets. The 19th row is subject to the same restrictions as the 8th.
20th row. Places A and F are very good. There is a lot of free space in front of you, you can easily get up from your seat and stretch your legs. These places are also places of increased comfort. The remaining 4 seats in the 20th row are regular seats.
21 – 30 rows. These are regular seats, the same as the seats in rows 9-17. There are no special features. Row 30 is close to the toilet, and seats C and D, which are directly next to the aisle, are also inconvenient because a queue for the toilet may form next to you.
31st row. This is the last row, it has serious flaws. Not only the proximity to the toilet can spoil your mood, but also the fact that the backs in this row do not recline at all, since there is a wall immediately behind them.
Seat diagram of Airbus A321 airline S7
Business class on the A321 S7 aircraft has only 2 rows, that is, 8 seats. There is a wall in front of the first row, and the seats in this row have the same characteristics as the seats in the first row of Aeroflot's A321 business class.
There is plenty of legroom in front of the second row. This business class row is preferable, however, you also need to take into account that it is close to the noisy economy class.
Economy class.
3rd row. As you can see in the A321 S7 cabin diagram, this row is located directly behind the partition separating economy class from business class. The disadvantage of this row is that there is a wall directly in front of you, and you will have to rest your gaze on it the entire flight. But on the other hand, no one will tilt the back of their seat towards you, and your knees will not rest against the seat in front of the passenger sitting in front of you. There is enough space in front of you, but you won’t be able to stretch your legs.
One of the disadvantages can also be noted that the folding tables are built into the armrests, which is why they become motionless.
The big advantage of the front rows of economy class is that food and drinks on the plane are served from the front. This means that passengers sitting in the front rows will have more food and drink choices and will receive their meals sooner.
We don't have it yet detailed information about the location of seats near emergency hatches, so we will try to give general information and recommendations based on the interior layout of the A321 S7.
Places near emergency hatches. Places that are located in front emergency exit, have a drawback - usually the backs of the seats do not recline or recline only to a limited extent. The seats that are located after the emergency exit are places of increased comfort, since the distance to the front row is quite large and there is ample legroom. You can stretch your legs calmly and get up without disturbing your neighbor. A small drawback is that the armrests of the chairs are motionless, since the pull-out table is built into the armrests. There are also restrictions for these seats - you cannot place hand luggage at your feet, passengers with children or pets, people with disabilities or the elderly cannot sit in these seats. In the chairs located directly It's a little cold near the escape hatch during the flight, but you can ask the flight attendants for a blanket.
Places near the toilet. Please note that, unlike Aeroflot's Airbus A321, the S7 has toilets located only in the bow for business class and in the tail of the aircraft for economy class, that is, there are no toilets in the middle of the cabin. This means that if you choose any seat except the seats in the last row, you do not risk spending your flight next to a toilet. The last, 35th row is located in close proximity to the toilet with all the ensuing consequences. The flight may be accompanied by the sounds of doors, water draining, and odors. There may also be a queue for the toilet in the aisle near you. In this sense, two seats in the 34th row on both sides of the aisle are also undesirable.
All other places are ordinary. When choosing a seat, you also need to take into account the rule - the closer to the nose of the plane, the faster the food is served, and the richer the assortment of food and drinks.
Seating diagram of the Airbus A321 of Ural Airlines
There are no business class seats in the cabin of the Ural Airlines A321 aircraft; as can be seen in the diagram, all 220 seats belong to economy class. A peculiarity of the cabin layout of this airline is that the toilets are located only in the bow and tail, that is, unlike Aeroflot, there are no toilets in the middle of the plane.
1st row. The first row has both advantages and disadvantages. Firstly, it is close to the kitchen and toilet. In addition, usually in such places there is always someone coming, someone leaving, queues for the toilet, and so on. This means that during the flight you will be accompanied by sounds, noise and bustle coming from there.
The disadvantage of the first row is the wall located directly in front of you. Although for some this is even an advantage, because there are no other passengers in front of you, no one will throw back their seat on you, no one will bother you. There is much more space for your knees than if there were chairs in front of you, which is also an advantage. But on the other hand, looking at this wall for the entire flight is probably not very pleasant either; it gives the impression of a closed space. We also note that the folding tables are built into the armrests, which is why the armrests cannot be raised.
Rows 2-9. These are ordinary places, they don’t have any special features. However, you need to remember that food and drinks on board the plane are served starting from the bow, so the further you sit from the bow, the later you will receive food, and the poorer the selection will be.
10th row. There is a shortage of seats in this row. The 10th row is located directly in front of the emergency hatches, which is why the seat backs do not recline or do not recline completely, so as not to block the path to the emergency exit.
11th row. As can be seen in the Ural Airlines A321 cabin diagram, there are only 4 seats in this row, that is, the two outer seats are missing so as not to interfere with the emergency exit. These are some of the best seats on the plane. Their advantage is that there is more legroom in front of you. You can calmly stretch your legs and get up without disturbing anyone. If you are traveling together, then you should take a closer look at these places, because there is no third seat, but there is also no porthole. Since the distance to the front row is large, the folding tables are located not in the backs of the front seats, but in the armrests, which is why they do not rise. These seats have the same restrictions as row 8 of Aeroflot's A321.
12th row. The extreme seats (at the porthole) in this row are very good. There are no seats in front, there is quite a lot of space. Very comfortably.
Rows 13-24. The seats in these rows are ordinary.
25th row. The seats in this row are the same as in the 10th row.
26th row. The seats in this row repeat the characteristics of the 11th row, but here all 6 seats are present. However, seats A and F in this row may be slightly skewed due to their proximity to the emergency exit, and one armrest may also be missing. In addition, due to the proximity to the hatches, it can be a little cold here. However, you can ask the flight attendants for a blanket.
Rows 27-36. The seats in these rows are ordinary, naturally, the closer to the end of the cabin and, accordingly, to the toilets, the worse.
Rows 37-38. These are the worst seats on this plane. Being next to a toilet does not bode well. The flight will be accompanied by the sounds of doors, water draining, possibly smells, etc. And the seats near the aisle in these rows are also bad because a line to the restroom may form next to you. Of the seats in these rows, the most preferable seats are E and F in row 37, which do not border the toilet and are not located on the aisle.
Nordwind Airbus A321 seating plan
There is no business class.
1st row. The 1st row repeats the characteristics of the 1st row of the A321 Uralavia.
Rows 2-10. These are ordinary places. However, the backrests of the F seats in the 9th row and the entire 10th row do not recline or recline only to a limited extent. This is done for safety purposes, since there are emergency hatches immediately behind the 10th row. However, please note that there are only two seats to the right of the aisle in row 10. If you're traveling as a couple, these places might be a good choice. But, of course, there is no porthole.
11th row. These are seats of increased comfort, they are located behind the emergency exit. These seats repeat the advantages and disadvantages of the seats in the 8th row of the A321 Aeroflot layout, which can be read about above.
Rows 12-24. These are ordinary places. Rows 23-24 repeat the characteristics of rows 9-10.
The interior of an A321 Nordwind airliner.
25 row. The seats are more comfortable; they repeat the advantages and disadvantages of the 11th row.
Rows 26-36. Here are the usual places. Aisle seats in row 36 have a drawback - people will crowd around you wanting to go to the toilet.
37 row. Worst seats on this plane. This is the last row, the seats are located right next to the toilets, with all the ensuing consequences, which you can read about above.
