Ural Airlines

On board the Airbus A321 " Ural airlines»There is no business class, and three conventional economy class sectors are allocated only by emergency exits.

The carrier does not indicate the best seats in the Airbus A321 on the official map. However, according to reviews and common practice, the most comfortable seats for the flight will be seats with increased legroom, located in front of emergency exits... On the layout of the Airbus A321 cabin, such seats are: row 11 - the whole, 12 row - A, F, 26 row - the whole.

The worst places, traditionally, are at the toilet (the inclination of the back of the chair is limited, there is little room for hand luggage) and each average of 3.

S7 Airlines provides a very small business class at the beginning of the cabin on its flights. There are other differences from the above schemes.

Seat map Airbus A321-100 / 200 y S7

Business class - 8 seats in rows 1, 2;
Economy class - 189 seats;
Extra Legroom Seats - Row 10 of Seats A, F; 23rd row - all or only extreme.

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 here, but these seats will be a real stroke of luck for those who fly in pairs.

Nordwind

Nordwind Airlines does not have business class on Airbus A321-200. There are 220 economy class seats on board, with the exception of the VP-BHN flight, which has 210 seats. The number of rows is 38.

Best seats (with increased legroom):

1 row - A, B, C, D, E, F;
11 row - A, B, C, D, E, F;
26 row - 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;
38 row (last, at the toilets) - A, B, C, D, E, F.

Red Wings Airlines (Red Wings)

In the Red Wings Airlines fleet, the extended Airbus A321 airliners have replaced the previous model, the Airbus A320.

The salon is equipped only in an economy class configuration for 220 seats. Seating chart: 3-3.

The best seats are in the front row (more legroom) and at the emergency exits. Unfortunately, there is no detailed cabin layout available on the Red Wings Airlines website.

Description and Airbus characteristics A321 on the official website of Red Wings Airlines

There are 3 Airbus A321 aircraft in the Yamal airline's fleet, serving flights within Russia.

Business class allocated for 28 seats. The number of seats in the standard economy class is 142, the seats are arranged according to the 3-3 scheme.

The layout of the Airbus A321 cabins is not available on the Yamal airline's official website. In addition, seat selection is not available when buying online - not only in economy class, but also in business class.

Information about aircraft on the Yamal website

In each air travel comfort during the flight is important. To do this, the passenger, having studied the reviews, can choose the flights of the company, the liner by technical parameters and seats, the location of which is directly affected by convenience. Consider the features of the Airbus A321 s7 model and the location of the seats on the plane.

General description of the Airbus A 321

It is the largest in the category of narrow-body Airbus airliners. In the s7 A 321 scheme, there is only one aisle between the seats. The aircraft, at maximum load, flies 5950 km, the hull length is 44.5 meters.

Configuration

Airbus А321 of S7 company has two classes seats, but among the operating liners there are versions with one economy class. For two-class models the capacity is 185 seats, and for one class the number of seats increases to 220. The placement of lines is standard for all airbuses, according to the 3 * 3 scheme, with a typical leg space.

The difference between А321 and А320 lies in the location of emergency exits - they are not located next to each other, but at a great distance.

Interior arrangement

In the Airbus a321, the cabin layout provides for 8 business class seats and 189 economy class seats. The arrangement of seats in the s7 aircraft is typical for most models - three lines of seats on one side, a longitudinal passage from bow to aft, three more lines of seats on the other side.

Business Class

Its difference from the economic one is in the increased comfort of the flight of passengers. There is enough room for a person's legs to extend them to their full length. The service of flight attendants always begins precisely from these aisles, which gives a wide choice of dishes in the offered meals on board. Silence and a small number of seats suggest special comfort when you need to work on the way.

For the A321 s7, there are only 2 rows with 8 seats in the Airbus business class seats. The wall in front of the seats in the first line of seats separates the cabin from the cockpit. There is no partition in front of the second row, more space in the leg part.

The proximity to the noisy and crowded economy class can be inconvenient.

Among all S7 Airlines A321 Airbuses in economy class there are more or less comfortable seats. Before booking air tickets, passengers are often interested in information about the airbus a321, the layout of the cabin, the best s7 seats. Consider a photo of places and rows that should be avoided when booking and registering.

№ 3

These places are distinguished by the best location:

The backs of the previous line do not go down, which significantly limits the space.
During the entire flight, an image with the company's symbols is in front of the face of an air passenger, and not the head of a person sitting in front.
Children often play on the backs, whose toys sometimes fall back.
Proximity to Business Class gives you an advantage in the order of service, a wider choice of food and drinks offered in flight.
The bow toilet is not as popular with passengers, which will ensure that there are no waiting lines.

Hand luggage carried by a person can be placed overhead, where comfortable and wide shelves are equipped. If there is not enough space in the overhead baggage compartment, things can be given to the flight attendant, who will always find a place to stay.

4 -8

These ranks have no particular strengths or weaknesses. The seat pitch is standard for any brand of liners; the seats are normal in width. There is a porthole here, and the view is not obstructed by the wing of the aircraft or its engine.

In places near the aisle there is a difference from the middle part - there will be no people moving around the cabin or queues to the restroom.

№ 9

Not a good choice for people enjoying the views in flight, there are no observation windows. When choosing seats B and E of the 9th row, the passenger involuntarily looks at the feet of people sitting in seats A and F in the next 10th row during the entire flight.

10-19

The seats are located in the middle of the aircraft. In such large airbuses, flight attendants carry food from the tail and bow at the same time, towards each other. People seated in the center receive a limited selection of food and drinks. There are portholes near the outermost seats, but the view from them is completely covered by the wings of the liner.

№ 20

These seats will not be the best choice for the passenger, since the view from the window is blocked for more than half by the wing of the aircraft and the engine located on it. During takeoff, landing and maneuvers of the aircraft, additional noise from the running engine is possible.

№ 22

These seats are close to the business class in terms of comfort. Just a couple of chairs, and there are no neighbors on either side. There is no porthole here as there is no 22F seat.

№ 23

Seats in the 23rd row have increased legroom. There are no windows, the seating arrangement depends on the liner model. The А321 S7 with tail numbers QI, QH, QJ and QK has all the seats on this line, while the PC and PO models have seats only A and F.

23-34

The location of these lines goes from the middle to the tail. Starting from the 28th line of seats, the number of people waiting in line for the restroom may increase in the aisle.

№ 35

These are the worst places on an airplane of any brand or company. Because of the partition at the back, the doors cannot be reclined. There is a toilet nearby, which interferes with the noise during the entire flight. Also, there will be discomfort from people waiting in line in the aisle.

When choosing a seat when flying in the A321 airliner of the S7 company, the passenger is advised to take into account the peculiarities of his / her well-being. If a long flight while sitting is difficult for health reasons, you should prefer seats near the aisle so that you can get up periodically. For peace of mind there will be useful places near the windows. During the flight, it is required to comply with the rules of the airline, then the journey will be safe and calm.

What features of the cabin layout of the Airbus A321 of Aeroflot airlines do you need to know in order to fly comfortably without overpaying for a ticket?

At Aeroflot on this moment more than 20 A321 liners.

Liner names:

Tarkovsky, V. Shukshin, V. Nemirovich-Danchenko, I. Levitan, I. Dunaevsky, Y. Khariton.

All aircraft use the business + economy cabin layout in three versions. Each aircraft scheme has its own characteristics, which will be discussed below. Also, you can find A321 salons with new, from Recaro, and old seats.

Opinions about the convenience of the new seats differ, but the general opinion of passengers is that the old seats are more comfortable.
Feedback from a visitor to Aviaforum.ru about the new seats in Airbuses:

35 rows. The chairs are thin and hard. The armrests are narrow, you can't really put your hand down. Subjectively, the seats are more comfortable than in the B738, but many times more uncomfortable than in the previous A320 / 321. In general, not ice at all.

Considering that planes with new seats do not always correspond to the official A321 scheme, choosing the best seat turns into an entertaining quest.

Another Aeroflot innovation is the installation of charging units under each seat in the cabin. On the one hand, it is a useful thing, on the other hand, we read the review of an Aeroflot passenger:

A huge fly in the ointment - boxes with stupid exercises under each chair - really make it difficult to place your legs.
(a) and sharp, infections (ladies with bare legs, straight ah), (b) There is still nothing under the middle chair, at the window it is generally uncomfortable 🙁

Photo of chargers:

Despite all of the above, find good places v the Airbus cabin A321, of course, you can.

Airbus A321 in business class (28 seats) and economy class (142 seats)

Business class seats are located from rows 1 to 7. Seat layout: 2x2.

Chair step: 95 cm
Chair width: 52.2 cm

We will not dwell on the description of the business class A321 in detail. Just a couple of comments.

Some consider the disadvantages of the 1st row located next to the toilet and kitchen. We disagree with this statement. Because these premises are used to serve only this class, and there are not many passengers in it - there should be no negative aspects in the form of noise and odors.

Row 7
The backs of the seats in this row do not fully recline due to the presence of the first row of economy class "behind".

Economy class is located from 8th to 31st rows.

Chair step: 75-80 cm
Chair width: 45 cm

Row 8
The seats in this row are seats of increased comfort. You can register them for an additional fee.
Pros of this series:

Increased seat pitch
No chair in front
Distance from toilets
At least walking in the cabin past you

Please note that there are places for attaching baby cots only in the first row, i.e. in business class.

Rows 9-10
Standard seats with the advantages of front seats.

Row 11
To the disadvantages of this row, we would attribute the partially obscured view from the window with the leading edge of the aircraft wing and the engine. Due to the proximity of the latter, increased takeoff noise is possible.

Rows 12-17
For passengers in these rows, the landscapes behind the window are covered by a wing. It also reduces noise in the cabin.

Row 18
It is not recommended to register tickets for this row. The views overboard are covered by a wing, the backs of the seats do not recline. Behind the back are the toilet rooms with all the queues that follow, slamming doors, grazing those sitting at the aisle, etc.

Row 19
A controversial series. On one side there are only 2 seats in a row. Seats for increased comfort. Registration for these chairs is paid.
On the other hand, there are no seats at the window. And the entire flight you will contemplate the toilets and people entering and leaving them.

Row 20
Mixed row. Seats A and F are luxury seats due to the nature of the front row (additional charge). Seats B, C, E, F- ordinary chairs with a standard pitch.
Of the minuses - the proximity of toilet cubicles.

Rows 21-30
Standard seat pitch. Rows without minuses and pluses. Due to the presence of a lavatory at the beginning and end of the sector, passengers will not accumulate in queues at the tail. But, we would recommend taking seats in the middle of this part of the plane.
The only recommendation, if possible, is to avoid aisle seats in the 30th row. Those in need may hurt you as they walk by.

Row 31
If there are no more seats, and you really need to fly - only in this case, take seats in this row.
This row has only drawbacks - the backs do not recline. There may not be a porthole next to you. Behind the back is a toilet and a kitchen.

Airbus A321 in business class (16 seats) and economy class (167 seats)

In this diagram, we will describe the differences that deserve attention.
Business class occupies ranks 1 through 4. The layout of the seats: 2x2.

Chair step: 95 cm
Chair width: 52.2 cm

The economy class salon occupies rows from 8 to 35. Do not look for rows 5, 6 and 7. There is none of them.

The location of the best seats in the cabin of the A321 differs from the previous one.

Chair step: 75-80 cm
Chair width: 42.5-45 cm

Rows 8-10
The first row of economy class (8) does not have increased comfort. This is a standard row, like 9 and 10, with the usual seat pitch. The only plus is the nose of the aircraft.

Row 11
The attentive reader will notice the different seat widths in this economy class A321 layout.
This is because the chairs of this particular row have different widths. With the same ticket price, please note.
There are 5, not 6 seats in the 11th row. It is positioned as Space + and registration for it is only for an additional fee.
Now in detail:
Seat 11A has a minus in the form of an emergency exit, the design of which takes space from the passenger's personal space. Registration is free.
11B and 11C are full Space +.
11D and 11F are precisely the seats with reduced width. In addition, there is an emergency exit located at 11F, like in 11A. Registration for this place is free.

Row 12
It is worth dwelling on the places of this row in more detail because of the presence in it, among the standard seats, of one enhanced comfort seat - 12D. There is no seat in front and passengers with any leg length will not experience discomfort. You can register for it for free.

Row 23
Same as row 20 in previous diagram A321.

Airbus А321 is a modification of the older А320 model. The main differences in it were improved engines, new brakes and increased length. Thanks to the latter, the cabin can accommodate 24% more seats for passengers. The aircraft is produced in different modifications and has several possible layouts, selected taking into account the interests of the airline carrying out transportation.

How was it created and where it is produced

In 1988 by Airbus the new A320 airliner was presented. It was the continuation of the narrow-body A300 series and the first passenger aircraft for scheduled flights to be fitted with fly-by-wire control. During development, the main focus was on the ability to choose from several layouts of seats in the cabin and economy in assembly. For the finished product, the goal was to gain an edge over a competitor in the face of the Boeing 737.

Soon after the A320 officially began operating, it became clear that the new aircraft had received the expected interest from potential buyers. Therefore, the company decided to expand the range by creating modifications. By 1994, she had produced the Airbus A321. The aircraft became the largest of the entire A320 series, accommodating up to 220 people and could fly slightly longer distances than the basic version.

The increased attention to the new liner was associated with its features. Most of all interest was aroused by the widespread use of digital technologies. They helped control the aircraft, provided increased comfort for passengers and increased safety by new level... The use of composites in the aircraft also became attractive, which had a positive effect on technical characteristics and the capabilities of the A321.

Until 2008, the assembly of airliners was carried out in France, where individual elements were brought in by cargo aircraft or sea vessels... Later, production of the A321 was moved to Germany. Some parts of the plane are being built in China and the UK.

Have you flown the A321?

YesNot

Several layouts can be used in the Airbus A321 cabin. Most often, a two-class one is used, consisting of business and economy classes. Sometimes the aircraft is only equipped with a single-class version. In such cases, the number of seats increases significantly.

Each economy class row consists of six seats, three on each side and separated by a narrow aisle. In business class, the seats are divided into 2 on the left and on the right. Between some of the rows there are emergency exits and doors, of which there are eight and six on board, respectively.

The economy seats are installed in 75-80 cm increments. Their width is 45 cm. In the business class, the spacing is increased to 95 cm. The seat width also increases to 52.2 cm. Despite the slight difference, the level of comfort in the business version is much higher ...

The standard version can accommodate up to 185 passengers. 157 are in economy class, 28 in business class. Which layout will be used depends on the carrier. Most often, there are several options:

170 seats, 142/28 (Yamal);
170 seats, 142/28 (Aeroflot);
183 seats, 167/16 (Aeroflot);
186 seats, 170/16 (Aeroflot);
197 seats, 189/8 (S7);
220 seats, economy (Ural Airlines);
210 seats, economy (Nordwind);
220 seats, economy (Nordwind);
220 seats, economy (Red Wings).

Other variations are possible in terms of the layout or the number of available seats. The airline chooses the cabin taking into account the demand for a certain class and the popularity of the direction in which the airliner will fly.

Best Economy Class Seats

With a standard layout for 185 seats, the best seats on the Airbus A321 are six in the eighth row. The emergency exit, located at the front, increases the clearance in front of the passengers. Therefore, here you can calmly get up, without disturbing the neighbors, stretch your legs and fully relax. When serving food or drinks, stewardesses approach these places and provide an even greater choice, which diminishes with each row.

Several seats in the second half of the aircraft are considered convenient. They are located on row 20. The best will be the armchairs near the window. Its advantage is that there is also a lot of free space in front of it, which is due to the lack of seats in front.

The rest do not stand out for their comfort, and some are frankly uncomfortable. On the 18th and 19th rows, passengers will feel uncomfortable from the proximity of the toilet - the constant walking of people, queues, noise. Similar inconveniences are experienced by those who purchase tickets for 30 or 31 rows. On the latter, it is also impossible to recline the backs of the chairs, which causes even more discomfort.

When choosing places for other layouts, one should focus on their remoteness from the toilet or technical rooms, as well as the presence of increased free space in the front. You can familiarize yourself with the plan of the aircraft on the airline's website or from the manager.

Best Business Class Seats

Business class consists of a standard cabin with 28 seats spread over seven rows. The armchairs are comfortable with amenities. The best places seats located from the 2nd to the 6th row are considered. Passengers have a lot of free space, do not experience any discomfort and can rest easy.

The only exceptions in business class for convenience were seats in the 1st or 7th row. Sitting on the first floor, passengers are disturbed by the walking of others to the toilet, as well as the constant noise and light emanating from the booth. In the last row, the inconvenience is associated with the sounds coming from the economy class. This often becomes a problem if the passenger wants to relax or sleep.

Wi-Fi and other amenities on board

On the Airbus A321, passengers are provided with a number of amenities designed to ensure a comfortable flight and a good time. The basic version of the liner provides 4 kitchens and 4 toilets on board. Business class is equipped with a wardrobe.

Passengers with children can sit in the first or eighth row - there are cradles where you can place your baby. For other layouts, suitable seats may vary. There are also six special places for flight attendants.

Other amenities depend on the airline operating the aircraft. Most often, each passenger has a socket for charging electronic devices. Some people build small displays in the backs of their chairs, on which you can watch movies. Wi-Fi is provided by most airlines at an additional cost.

Flight performance

The A321 is slightly larger than the older A320. Its length is 44.51 m with a height of 11.76 m. The wingspan has remained the same at 34.1 m with an area of 122.6 m². The weight of the liner without load is 48.5 tons. It can take off at 93.5 tons, upon landing it should weigh no more than 77.8 tons. The permissible payload reaches 23.4 tons.

Installed engines CFM56-5A / 5B or IAE V2500-A5 produce thrust from 13600 to 15000 kgf. They provide the aircraft with a cruising speed of 828 km / h, while it is capable of accelerating to 890 km / h. For takeoff, the liner will need a takeoff run of 2180 m, and for landing, a run of up to 1580 m. It can rise to an altitude of 11,900 m.

The fuel reserve is 30,030 liters. With a specific consumption of 18.2 g / pass-kg and an hourly expenditure of 3,200 kg, this is enough to cover a distance of up to 5600 km, taking into account the maximum commercial load.

Airliner design

Aerodynamic Airbus scheme both A321 and A320, which has become an older version, are twin-engine low-wing aircraft with swept-wing type and single-fin vertical tail. Both are intended for medium-haul airlines. The A321 is slightly longer, so it can carry more passengers. The basic layout allows for 185 seats in a two-class version or 220 seats in a one-class cabin.

Various composite materials were used to create the aircraft. Most of all they were used in fenders with stabilizers. This decision made it possible to reduce the total weight of the aircraft, increase the permissible payload and improve technical performance.

The airliner received a reinforced wing, which is characterized by increased reliability. It has special tips called sharklets. They are made in the style of winglets and are designed for improved versions of the A320. The company says that sharklets improve aircraft aerodynamics, reduce fuel consumption by 3.5% and minimize carbon dioxide emissions. The absence of such endings would lead to a decrease in the flight range by 180 km or a decrease in the maximum payload by 500 kg.

The new CFM56-5A / 5B or IAE V2500-A5 turbofan engines are more powerful. The noise level from them has decreased, fuel consumption has become more economical, and the emission of harmful substances has decreased. They are placed one on each side under the wing.

The cockpit is equipped with EFIS digital avionics, which includes six special displays on the aircraft dashboard, where all the necessary information about the flight is displayed. In the event of failure of individual elements, an appropriate warning will immediately appear so that pilots can take the necessary measures in a timely manner.

The presence of the Airbus A321 black box allows you to get information about the flight and negotiations after a disaster, if it occurs. It is located inside the tail compartment and can withstand severe impacts and high temperatures, thanks to which it remains even in the event of a liner crash.

Models and modifications

The aircraft is produced in three modifications: A321-100, A321-200, A321neo. The first is practically not used, and the second is gradually being replaced by the third. Each a new version received her improvements, which gave her a number of advantages.

The first model, the A321-100, has been produced since 1994 with V2500 or CFM56 engines. The plane could become a serious competitor even for the Boeing 757, but this did not happen. The reason for this was insufficiently advanced characteristics. Therefore, in 1996, a second model was introduced.

The Airbus A321-200 received an increased take-off weight and an increased flight range, which was achieved by installing additional fuel tanks. The liner became more successful than its predecessor and quickly spread to many major airlines.

In 2016, the Airbus A321neo was introduced, which became an improved version of the base aircraft. New upgraded engines PW1100G-JM or CFMI Leap-1A are installed on it, providing thrust of 15000 and 14500 kgf. Fuel consumption was reduced by 15%.

According to technical data, the A321neo can fly 950 km further and take on board 2 tons more load. The speed indicators have also been improved. The number of available seats on the plane has increased - it can accommodate up to 240 people in a single-class layout.

Airlines operators

A321 is actively used by many major airlines... In total, over the years of production, more than 1,700 aircraft have been sold, with another 400 on the line for the conveyor. The number of orders for the new A321neo is also gradually increasing.

The aircraft is used by the following major foreign carriers:

American Airlines;
Air Canada;
Atlasglobal;
Turkish Airlines;
Air France;
Etihad Airways;
Air China;
Air India;
Qatar Airways;
Air Astana;
Wizz Air.

Also, the liner is in the fleet of many European and Asian air carriers operating international flights. In Russia, the A321 is used by Aeroflot, S7, Ural Airlines and Red Wings. Several planes operate periodic flights from the Yamal and Nordwind companies.

The A321 has been in service around the world for over 20 years. During this time, almost two thousand aircraft were produced, which were able to prove themselves from the best side. Each copy is distinguished by the highest reliability, technical stuffing and ease of management. Passengers get the opportunity to get to the desired point quickly and comfortably.

There are 10 Airbus A321 servicing Passenger Transportation... They are designed for medium-haul flights. Of course, before departure, many passengers would like to know the location of seats on Ural Airlines aircraft, namely the layout of the Ural Airlines Airbus A321 cabin and the best seats there.

First, let's take a look at some of the features of the Airbus A321. And, and can be found in the relevant articles on our website.

This model is operated since 1994. She is the largest among all the others in the A320 family. This is a narrow-body branch of the Airbus company.

Narrow-body aircraft type- this is the one in which there is a single, narrow passage between the chairs. The flight range is up to 5600 km. Length - 44, 51 m. Height - 11, 76. The wingspan reaches 35.8 m.

Airbus А321 of Ural Airlines.

Improved wingtips improve aerodynamics and save on fuel while only increasing the range this aircraft is capable of flying.

In general, this model will cost 1 km of flight cheaper for a passenger, since it consumes less fuel and allows more people to be accommodated.

A321 has 2 exits each in the bow and tail, on both sides of the fuselage and 2 escape hatches in the middle of each side.

Rows 1 to 10 there are 3 seats each on the left and right side. The very first row is directly opposite the kitchens and toilets. In this regard, he has a somewhat ambiguous position.

The pros are that you can sit with your feet in the most comfortable position for you. You also do not have to worry that the back of the chair in front will be reclined on you.

The disadvantages are obvious - smells from the kitchen, all sorts of sounds and queues at the toilets - all this will disturb and disturb. Also, tables cannot be used here.

2-9 rows convenient for their proximity to the kitchen. If you sit here, then you will be served before the rest.

10th row is located directly in front of the emergency exits, so the obvious disadvantage here is that the backrests do not recline or fully recline. They are made in such a way as not to block the passage.

11th row, as can be seen from the diagram, has only 2 chairs on each side. It is convenient to sit here if you are traveling in pairs, so that the third passenger does not bother you. In addition, you can sit comfortably in any position convenient for you.

However, it also has a number of significant disadvantages:

colder here than elsewhere;
fixed tables in the armrests;
lack of a porthole;
you cannot place any things near the chairs;
such categories of passengers as families with small children or animals, pensioners and disabled people are not allowed to choose these seats for obvious reasons.

Very comfortable seats A and F in the 12th row in view of the fact that there are no seats in front, and accordingly you can safely put your feet. Also, there are portholes.

The layout of the seats.

From 13 to 24 row there are quite standard places.

25th row has about the same set of characteristics as the 10th.

26th row will again suit those who like to stretch their legs. Plus to everything - the row in front is completely absent, which means that no one will bother you.

But do not choose seats A and F, as they may be in a different position than the rest. One armrest may not be enough. It's cool in here as they are close to the emergency exits.

From 27 to 36 row there are ordinary seats that will suit all categories of passengers.

Seats in the 37th and 38th rows the most uncomfortable in such a salon, since the toilets are located just behind them. Plus, the backs of the seats rest against the wall of the toilet, which means you have to fly without changing position.

It can be too stuffy and very cold here... Perhaps this is due to poor air conditioning.

If there are no other options, then choose at least seats F or E since they are not at the aisle. But don't need to be considered place D- it is the most extreme to the passage, which means that there can be no question of a calm flight.
