All 10 have one configuration per 220 passenger seats(salon economy).
Let's analyze the scheme in detail Airbus cabin A321 and find out where the passenger will be most comfortable during the flight.
The scheme of the aircraft, which is posted on the official website is as follows:
The only remark - in view of the fact that the letter designations and row numbers are not affixed on the official website, we will designate them as most Western aviation companies do when using this type of aircraft.
A couple of general points about the location of the seats in the Airbus A321 - their disadvantages and advantages.
1. Seats that are located next to the window have the advantage of being able to look into it during the flight (this, of course, depends on the time of flight and the weather). If you fly at night, this merit does not count. Another neighbor will not bother you if he wants to get up. These places have one drawback - it is not very convenient to leave it yourself. Therefore, if there is no need to go to the toilet often or you intend to oversleep the entire flight, choose seats by the window.
2. The seats, which are located near the aisle, have their own dignity - it is very easy to get up from it, if necessary, to the toilet. The disadvantages are that a neighbor can be disturbed if he needs to get up. Flight attendants with carts and passengers who pass through the cabin to the galley and toilets can also interfere. Therefore, if you are flying with a child and, most likely, you will often have to go to the toilet. Or you yourself have a need to go to the restroom more often, then choose from the edge of the seat.
1 p. - in aircraft of this type, often the first rad is located quite close to the partition or wall of the kitchen / toilets. It gives the impression of a closed space and it is not very comfortable to sit for the whole flight, watching the wall. Also, it is quite noisy there due to the proximity of the toilet and kitchen. These are shortcomings. Now for the positives. There is enough space for the knees on this row. Another advantage is the fact that no one will recline the back of the chair. In terms of economy, this is a rather significant circumstance.
10 p. Row in front of the first emergency exit. As a rule, before an emergency exit, the seats do not recline or are very limited in this, for safety reasons. This is done in order to emergency, the approach to the doors was not blocked and so as not to waste time on raising the backs. The entire flight will have to sit in an upright position.
11 p. For the same safety reasons, the row after the emergency exit is located at a small distance from the past. In front of you, thanks to this, there is additional space. You can get up from your seats without disturbing your neighbors, stretch your legs comfortably. Another advantage is that there are not 3 chairs in a row, but 2. Two chairs in a row are an ideal place for two people traveling together. But there are some minor drawbacks: Folding tables are placed in the armrests, they do not move because of this. There is no porthole. Cannot be placed in the aisle and on the floor hand luggage. For the safety of the flight, it is forbidden to stay in these places for passengers with animals and children, with handicapped, and the elderly. still more advantages, so we can assume that good places.
12 p. F.A. Standard economy seats + extra legroom. Since there is no seat in front. very comfortable.
25 p. Marked in yellow, for the same reasons as 10. Backrests are blocked. But a small advantage in the number of seats in a row.
26 p. good places salon. There is room for legs, perhaps without disturbing anyone, get up from your seat. Disadvantages are similar to 11 p. Separately, we note the places at portholes F,A. Due to the emergency door, the seats are slightly slanted and often there is no one of the armrests.
37 p., place D. Yellow due to proximity to toilets. People will constantly squeeze next to you, they can lean on a chair, hurt you. It is also possible to form a queue.
37 p. seats C,B,A and 38 p. The most inappropriate places. Similar disadvantages as the penultimate row, in addition, the backs of the seats do not recline and are able to rest against the walls of the toilets. Another slamming of doors and the sound of a tank will accompany you throughout the flight. Register for these Places at the worst.

Airbus A321 cabin map
It uses 3 options for the layout of the Airbus A321 cabin, and all of them are divided into 2 classes: economic and business. They differ only in the ratio of the number of seats in these classes. All these options for the location of seats in the cabin have the best and worst places. Consider these three modifications and define best places for a comfortable flight. Schemes of the cabin of the Airbus A321 of Aeroflot airlines:
Option 1
This configuration includes 156 seats.
Business class covers rows 1 to 7. It is located in the nose of the aircraft. The layout of the seats according to the scheme 2-2 in a row. Seats in this class are considered the most comfortable. Armchairs have the same characteristics, but rows 1 and 7 can be distinguished as less comfortable than others. Row 1 is located near the kitchen and bathroom and is separated from them by a partition, this can cause inconvenience. Row 7 - the last row of the business class, behind it there is a wall, noise from the economy class can be heard through it.
Economy class starts from row 8 and ends at row 31.
8 row is considered very convenient. In front of it are emergency exits and this is the first row of the economy class. The extra space up front and the fact that your food is served first makes these places comfortable.
18 row is in front of the bathroom. Unpleasant smell, pandemonium and motionless seat backs are the main disadvantages of this row.
19th row of chairs B, C, D, E and 20th row A, F - places after emergency exits. There is more extra legroom.
30 row is located close to the toilet rooms, from which unpleasant smells and sounds come. The constant movement of people also makes these places less comfortable.
31 row - the last. The backs of the chairs do not recline, as there is a bathroom behind this row. The series has shortcomings and the 30th series.

The Airbus A321 is a modification of the aircraft extended by seven meters (44.51 m). The first flight of the prototype (A321-100) took place in 1993.
In 1994, DASA, a member of the Airbus Industry consortium, proposed to start developing a modification of the A321-200 with increased takeoff weight and longer flight range.
In April 1995, the German airline Aero Lloyd ordered the first aircraft, designated A321-200. It differed from the original model by placing an additional fuel tank with a capacity of 2900 liters in the tail cargo compartment. The Airbus A321-200 made its first flight in December 1996.
More than two decades have passed since the appearance of the A321 model, but the aircraft is constantly being upgraded in accordance with the requirements of the time. Airbus is currently offering a new modification of the A321neo airliner with more powerful and economical engines, as well as an improved wing design.
The main competitor of the Airbus A321 is.

Description of the Airbus A321 and its technical characteristics
Airbus A321-200
Passenger aircraft. He became the next model after the A320.
Appeared on Russian airlines in 1994. Airbus is the main developer.
But, despite the fact that the liner has been produced for more than a decade, its production continues to this day. This is due to the reliability of the aircraft and the high need for use when passenger traffic.
In total, there are two Airbus A321 models, which is confirmed by Wikipedia, they have a different modification - A321-100 and A321-200:
- A321-100 was developed by the company's employees in 1993. In the same year, the aircraft took off into the sky and passed its certification. Since the aircraft has proven itself on the positive side, in 1993 it began to be mass-produced. And, importantly, Airbuses of this modification are produced to this day.
- A321-200 with an increased takeoff weight, as well as an increased flight range. The liner was developed over two years from 1994 to 1996. Initially created as a competitor to the Boeing liner, the German company became the customer who first bought the aircraft. They ordered the plane even when it was not launched into mass production. Given the reliable technical characteristics, the aircraft is still being produced today.
Technical characteristics of the liner:
- In flight, it reaches a speed of 890 km / h.
- The flight range with a maximum load is 6000 km without refueling.
- The maximum A321 can climb to a height of 11,900 km.
- The engine installed on the aircraft was manufactured by Airbus and belongs to the CFMI CFM56-5A/5B modification.
- The wingspan is 34.1 meters.
- The height of the aircraft is about 12 meters.
- The cabin of aircraft of various modifications practically does not differ from one another. Thanks to this, pilots can transfer from one to another without any problems.
- The aircraft is 44.51 meters long.
- In flight, it shows quite decent performance, since fuel consumption is minimal.
- The airliners are equipped with reliable engines, and therefore each passenger can be calm for their safety in flight.
It is worth noting: In 2015, the Airbus was modified and new engines were installed on the aircraft, which gives even greater confidence in comfort and safety.
The main distinguishing feature of aircraft Airbus is that all cockpits are made according to the same principle. Therefore, it is enough for a pilot to complete one course, and after that he can fly a passenger liner, and then a cargo one.
Location of seats
Aeroflot uses two types of Airbus A321 for passenger transportation. How many places are there? One is an economy class and is designed for 220 seats, and the second combines business class and economy seats. This liner is designed for 185 passenger seats. Consider the location of the seats in the Airbus 321 two-class layout, since this type is in great demand.
Seats in the Airbus A321 by modifications
As in other aircraft, the business class is located in the bow of the liner. According to Airbus scheme Industrie A321, business class - these are rows from the first to the seventh. The seats are actually worth choosing, as the distance between the seats is large enough and you can walk freely. In addition, the chairs themselves are more comfortable and the menu is the most diverse.
The most popular are the places that are located by the window or porthole. This is due to the fact that those passing by do not disturb the tourists. And of course - an unforgettable view from the window.
But, even in the business class there are places that are not entirely successful for passengers, and this can be seen in the photo of the Airbus 321 cabin. For example, seats on the first and seventh rows. This is due to the fact that the first row is located near the toilets, and the seventh row is located next to the service premises. As a result, there will be a constant movement of passengers and staff. Also, given the proximity of the location, the light will be constantly on both day and night, so it is unlikely that you will be able to sleep. The seventh row is also not worth choosing, since immediately behind it is a partition leading to the economy class. Therefore, the sounds coming from the neighboring cabin will not let you rest in flight.
We go to the economy class cabin. Looking at it, we can immediately say that the location of the seats in the Airbus A321 of this type is not very convenient. Firstly, there is only one passage, and the seats are arranged three in a row. Here are places from 8 to 31. But despite the fact that these places are lower class, the seats themselves are quite comfortable and practically do not differ from the first salon.
Note: when choosing seats in economy class, it is better to opt for seats in row 8. This is due to the fact that only a partition remains in front of the seats. They are especially suitable for tall people, as there is where to stretch the legs.
You can also opt for seats in the 20th row with designations A and F. There is also a large space in front of the seats.
More convenient places we have considered. But, as in the other liner, there are bad places here, tickets for which are not worth buying. These are places located in rows 19 and 18, 31. They are also located next to the toilet, so you should not opt for them.
We have decided on the choice of places. Let's see what they say about the advantages and disadvantages of the A321.
How to choose the right seats in the Airbus A321
General recommendations on how to choose the best places:
- In order to proceed to the choice of a place, focusing on the scheme seats Airbus 321 is enough to start deciding in which class you will fly.
- If this is an economy class, then you should not choose seats in the last row, and the seats located next to the aisle are not entirely suitable if you plan to relax on the flight.
- When choosing seats in business class, you should not opt for the first row seats, because, given the high traffic, you will not be able to spend time calmly in flight.
- In addition, when choosing seats, be sure to pay attention to how much you are willing to spend on buying a ticket. Business class is much more expensive than economy class. Therefore, places in places, but you should not forget about the financial side of the issue.
Based on the plan of the Airbus 321 aircraft, you will be able to make the right choice.
Airbus A321 positive and negative points
First about the benefits:
- despite the fact that the first liner was launched from the assembly line more than 20 years ago, its main advantage is its excellent performance, primarily flight performance;
- the carrying capacity is quite decent compared to other aircraft;
- sufficient passenger capacity;
- the passenger compartment is quite spacious;
- high sound insulation allows you to relax and enjoy the flight during the flight.
In fact, the liner is comfortable, it is convenient, quiet and comfortable.
But among the positive qualities, there are also negative ones. One of them is that its first release was many years ago. That is why a large number of competitors have appeared in modern aircraft construction, which can compete both in terms of comfort and technical characteristics.
Despite the fact that in modern world There is a large selection of airliners, most often passengers choose the A321 series aircraft. It is in it that you can sit comfortably.
In addition, if you use Aeroflot services, you get a number of advantages:
- the professionalism of the pilots and personnel is striking;
- the cost of tickets is more favorable than in commercial companies;
- thanks to the right approach to their duties, employees provide their passengers with greater reliability and comfort.
When choosing comfortable seats for your trip, pay attention to the Airbus 321 seating chart. After all, how you spend your time in flight depends on the right choice.
Watch a video that explains how to choose the best seat on an airplane:
The Russian airline Nord Wind is quite young and reliable. It is popular with passengers and makes international charter flights. The age of the fleet is on average 14.5 years. The airline operates on this moment 20 aircraft different models of boeing and airbus. Of these, the majority are Airbuses A321-200. There are 8 of them in the park. The layout of the Airbus 321 200 Nordwind cabin will help passengers choose the most comfortable and optimal seats for themselves before traveling.
Overview of aircraft cabin seats
This aircraft model is the largest in the A320 family. Nord Wind uses a single class aircraft. In this configuration, 220 economy class seats are located in the cabin. This type of airbus a321 200 is used for budget flights. The distance between the seats has been reduced for greater capacity, so people with long legs on the standard row will be uncomfortable.
1st row. There is enough free space in front of the chairs to put your feet comfortably. You can also put your bag or backpack on the floor. Moreover, it is from this row that the distribution of drinks and food will begin, so you will receive it immediately. Of the minuses, it can be noted that there will be a wall in front of you for the entire flight and not everyone likes to look into it. In addition, the proximity of the kitchen will cause some inconvenience, such as constant noise, smells, and so on. Not far from these places is also a bathroom.
9th. The seat to the right of the window may have restrictions in reclining, since there is an escape hatch not far from them.
10th. Due to the emergency exits located right behind this row, the seat backs do not have a reclining function. For this reason, you will have to sit up straight for the entire flight, and this can be painful for your back, especially if you have back problems.
11th row. On the diagram of the aircraft cabin Airbus 321 200 nordwind airlines these places are among the most convenient. There are emergency exits on both sides of this row, so there will be a large distance in front of you to the seats in front. This will give you the opportunity to sit comfortably, put your feet.
23rd. The standard row, however, the seats near the porthole have the same restrictions as in the 9th, the back does not recline.
24th. There are escape hatches right behind it, so you'll have to spend the entire flight vertically. This is due to the fact that the backs of the seats here do not have the ability to recline so as not to block the approach to the exits.
25th row. The seats here have the same advantages as in the 11th. There is quite a lot of space in front of them in order to put their feet.
36th. Unfortunate places in this row are those that are near the aisle. This is due to the fact that toilets are located at the tail of the cabin. Other passengers are likely to wait in line at your seat, which can be annoying and inconvenient.
37th. Directly behind the backs will be a wall of toilets. Therefore, they do not have a reclining function. You will have to sit up straight all the way. In addition, there will be a constant movement of other passengers near you, flight attendants with carts who can push you, step on your feet, and they will also slam the door. Yes, and you will receive food last, as it will be distributed from the beginning of the salon.
Best Places
The most preferred seats, especially for a long flight, are those located immediately after the emergency exits: in the 11th and 25th rows. However, it is worth remembering that not all passengers can fly here. According to the rules of most airlines, these seats do not sell tickets to the following categories:
- Women in "position"
- To old people
- Passengers with a child or an animal
- Teenagers under the age of 16
- Disabled
This is due to the fact that in the event of a critical situation, passengers should sit here, who will not only not interfere, but will also help open the hatch and others to get out of the aircraft.
