Airbus Industry A321

Aircraft type according to ICAO A321.
With a length of 44.5 meters, he is the "big brother" in the family of three hundred and twenty. It is one third larger than the A319. Aircraft of this type are used on flights of short and medium range, both within countries and on international routes.
The cost of transporting one passenger per conventional kilometer or mile, whichever one prefers, is the lowest among aircraft with a narrow fuselage and is comparable to wide-body aircraft.

Like other aircraft of the family, the Airbus A321-100/200 has low fuel consumption, low noise and emissions. At three hundred and twenty-first, two types of engines are installed: V2500 International Aero Engines or CFM International CFM56.

Airbus A321-100 made its first flight in 1993. This modification was inferior to the competitor Boeng 757-200. The designers of the concern worked on the carrying capacity and flight range, placed a fuel tank for almost 3 thousand liters in the tail section of the cargo compartment, and in 1996 a new aircraft took to the skies A321-200

Ural Airlines

There is no business class on board the Airbus A321 of Ural Airlines, and three conditional economy class sectors are allocated only through emergency exits.

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

The worst places, traditionally, are near the toilet (reclining back of the chair is limited, there is little space for hand luggage) and every average of 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.

Seat map Airbus A321-100/200 at S7

• Business class - 8 seats in rows 1, 2;
• Economy class - 189 seats;
• Extra legroom seats - 10th row 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 porthole. There is no extra legroom here, but these seats will be a real boon for those who fly in pairs.

Nordwind (Nordwind, North Wind)

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

Best Seats (with more 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, near the toilets) - A, B, C, D, E, F.

Red Wings Airlines (Red Wings)

In the fleet of Red Wings Airlines, the stretched Airbus A321 replaced the previous model, the Airbus A320.

The Airbus A321 is the most unique and comfortable passenger aircraft in the A320 series. To date, there are many configurations of this aircraft, all of them are designed for different flight durations and passenger capacity.

The passenger aircraft is manufactured in France and is designed for the A321 flight range of up to 5,500 km. It has a capacity of 185 passenger seats, of which 16 are reserved for extra comfort seats and 169 economy class seats.

There are several cabin configurations:

• one-class cabin - includes up to 220 economy class seats;
• two-class cabin - includes business and economy class with a capacity of 185 seats;
• charter version - capacity up to 220 seats.

To understand the location of all the seats and choose the most comfortable of them, you should consider the layout of the A321 cabin.

1-7 row business class. Of the seven rows, the first and seventh are the most uncomfortable. This is due to the fact that the first one is close to the bathroom, and the seventh one is next to the economy class.

8 row economy class. The eighth row is the most comfortable seat of the entire economy class. The row is located near the emergency exit, so there is a lot of empty space. These places are also good because you will be the first to get drinks and light meals.

9 - 17 row. The most common seats that accommodate ordinary passengers of the Airbus A321.

18 row. The inconvenience of these places is that they are located near the latrines. Which can cause discomfort.

19 row. This row is similar to the eighth row, as it is located near the emergency exit. But there is a restroom nearby, which affects comfort.

20 row. It is a great place with plenty of legroom and open windows.

30 row (seats C-D). They are uncomfortable places, this is due to the close location of the restroom.

31 row. The most uncomfortable seats on a plane. This is due to the close location of the restroom and the wall, which will not allow the chairs to be expanded. Therefore, all the time of the flight you will be in one position.

The design of the aircraft Airbus A321 100/200

This aircraft belongs to the family of narrow-body passenger liners. The design of the A321 contributed to a 25% increase in seats compared to the previous model.

In the business class, there are 4 seats in a row.

All places have increased comfort. In the economy class, there are 6 seats in a row. The liner has a reinforced chassis, low noise and emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere.

The model includes additional fuel tanks and powerful engines. There are 4 passenger and 4 emergency exits on board. The design of the aircraft contributes to the taking of weight up to 94 thousand kg.

A321 Sharklets wing model

The A321 passenger liner has a unique model of the Sharklets Shark Fin wing, which allows increasing the maximum weight of the transported cargo by 2 tons, increasing the flight range by 900 km.

But the main feature of this wing is increased fuel economy, which is up to 3.5%. Increased performance gain speed and cruising speed.

A321 modificationsAirbus

There are two modifications of the A321 passenger liner. In general, they do not have big changes in the characteristics and design of aircraft.

Model A321 100- Designed for short flight range.

Model A321 200— installed additional fuel tanks and powerful engines. This version is designed for long-distance flights.

Model A321neo - is the latest modification of this model. The liner has modern equipment, new powerful engines, and more rounded Sharklets. Construction of the A321neo is scheduled for 2018.

This version was developed in 1993 and is the very first modification of the A321. Certification and the first flight were carried out in the same year.

The aircraft is equipped with 146.8 kN V2500 or 142.3 kN CFM56 engines. Serial production began in 1993 and continues to this day.

Airbus A321-200

The Airbus A321-200 is a later modification of the A321.

The development of the model began in 1994 and ended only in 1996. The Model 200 was created to compete with the Boeing 757 passenger airliner.

The new version was equipped with additional fuel tanks and new more powerful engines. This made it possible to increase the flight range and take-off weight of the aircraft. Serial production continues to this day.

Airbus A321 control

Two pilots take part in the management of the A321 passenger liner. Management is carried out using the French digital complex Efis.

This complex includes 6 large-format multifunctional displays, which display all flight and navigation information.

Also, this system monitors all malfunctions and displays them, which allows pilots to receive detailed information about the flight and the status of the 321 aircraft.

In October 2015, a terrorist attack was committed on board an A321 aircraft on a scheduled flight from Egypt to Russia. The liner belonged to the Russian airline Kogalymavia.

After taking off from Sharm el-Sheikh, the liner disappeared from radar, after some time there was a crash in the Sinai Peninsula.

On board the aircraft that made the last flight of the A321, there were 224 people, including 7 crew members and 25 children. After receiving information from the found black boxes, the main cause of the plane's crash was the explosion of an improvised explosive device in the tail section of the aircraft.

The table shows the catastrophes that claimed a large number of human lives:

Airbus A321-200 flight video

Watch the video. Flight Moscow-Anapa

It has 10 Airbus A321s that serve passenger traffic. They are designed for medium haul flights. Of course, before departure, many passengers would like to know the location of the seats on the Ural Airlines aircraft, namely the cabin layout of the Airbus A321 Ural Airlines and the best seats there.

First, let's look at some features of the Airbus A321. And, and you can find out in the relevant articles on our website.

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

Narrow-body aircraft- 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 A321 Ural Airlines.

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

In general, with this model, 1 km of flight will cost less to the passenger, since it consumes less fuel and allows you to accommodate more people.

A321 has 2 exits in the bow and tail sections, on both sides of the fuselage and 2 emergency hatches in the middle of each of its sides.

Scheme of the cabin Airbus Industrie A321 "Ural Airlines"

It counts 38 rows, 2 and 3 chairs in a row.

Salon scheme.

Rows 1 to 10 There are 3 chairs on the left and right sides. The very first row is directly opposite the kitchens and toilets. In this regard, he has a somewhat twofold position.

The advantage here is that you can sit down with your feet in the most comfortable position for you. Also, you can not be afraid that the back of the chair in front will be reclined on you.

The disadvantages are obvious - smells from the kitchen, all kinds of sounds and lines to the toilets - all this will interfere and disturb. Also, tables are not allowed.

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

10th row is located right in front of the emergency exits, so the obvious drawback here is that the backs do not recline or do not 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 disturb you. In addition, you can safely sit in any position convenient for you.

However, it also has a number of significant disadvantages:

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

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

Seat layout.

From 13 to 24 row there are quite standard places.

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

26th row will again be suitable for those who like to stretch their legs. Plus, 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 because they're close to the emergency exits.

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

Seats in the 37th and 38th rows the most uncomfortable in such a cabin, since the toilets are 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 conditioning.

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

How to choose a seat in the cabin

Choosing a seat on a Ural Airlines plane is best done in advance, after familiarizing yourself with the location of the seats and following the simple recommendations below:

• do not sit at the window or in the rows limited by the wall of the toilet or kitchen if you suffer from claustrophobia or acrophobia;
• in case of feeling unwell during the flight, sit down in those places that are closer to the toilet;
• if your flight is with a transfer, then try to choose a seat closer to the exit in advance;
• the company has an additional service - you can pre-book the desired seat on the plane by paying an additional amount;
• at check-in, you can specify the place you need in advance.

Even if you come across a not very convenient place, if there are free seats, you can change it.

The fleet of Ural Airlines has 35 aircraft, 10 of which are A321s. They are the largest of the Airbus 320 family. This is a narrow-body aircraft, depending on the needs of the airline, it can have a different cabin configuration. A321 of Ural Airlines accommodates 220 economy class passenger seats. As with any aircraft, there are good ones and bad ones. It is important to choose the best option for your trip. This can be done using the Ural Airlines Airbus A321 cabin layout.

Characteristics of places

There are 38 rows in the cabin of the airbus A321 of Ural Airlines. Most of them have 3 seats on both sides of the aisle.

1st row: places in it have their pros and cons:

• In aircraft of this configuration, they are close to partitions, kitchens or toilets. For this reason, it can be quite noisy here, and the smells of food will reach your place. In addition, it is not very comfortable to look at the wall in front of you during the entire flight.
• On the positive side, sitting in the 1st row you will have enough legroom, and none of the passengers in front will lean back their passenger seat on you.

10th row: it is located just before the 1st emergency exit. This means that you will have to sit upright for the entire flight, as such seats do not recline. This fact is due to security issues. In the event of a critical situation on board, the reclined backrests can become an obstacle to access to the emergency exit.

11th row: located at some distance from the previous one for similar reasons. There is enough space ahead to comfortably stretch your legs, stand up without disturbing your neighbors. In addition, this row has only 2 seats on either side of the aisle - ideal for those traveling as a couple.

Some of the inconveniences are:

• There are no portholes near these places.
• The tables are located on the armrests, for this reason they cannot be moved.
• Hand luggage is not allowed in the aisle or on the floor.
• Due to the proximity of these places to the emergency exit, it is forbidden to fly to them for passengers with animals or children, for people of advanced age or with disabilities.

Despite minor shortcomings, they are considered one of the best places for the Ural Airlines Airbus A321.

12th row(seats near the windows): comfortable due to the lack of other seats in front of them.

25th row: has the same restrictions as chairs in the 10th. But a significant plus can be considered the fact that there are only 2 places here. With all the minuses, for couples this is the best option.

26th row: the pros, cons and limitations in it are identical to the places in the 11th row. Plenty of space to comfortably position your feet. You can stand up without disturbing others. These seats are among the best seats in the salon. However, seats located near the windows may not have one armrest due to the proximity of the emergency exit.

37th row aisle seat on the right: inconvenient due to the proximity of the toilet. Other passengers will be walking around here all the time, squeezing along the aisle, hitting you, a queue may form.

Seats on the left side of the 37th and 38th row: located directly next to the toilet. All the sounds from there, the constant movement of people and the slamming of doors will prevent you from enjoying the flight. Moreover, there are partitions behind the backs, because of which they do not recline and you will have to be in an upright position for the entire flight.

The rest of the seats in the cabin are considered standard.

The best places for those who are afraid to fly

For people suffering from aerophobia, it is especially important to ask in advance about the location of the seats in the cabin. You need to choose an option in which you can feel safe during the flight. As a rule, in this case, places near the emergency exit are suitable. According to the Ural Airlines airbus A321 cabin layout, these are rows 10, 11, 12, 25 and 26.

Recommendation! Before buying tickets, you need to decide in advance which seats you would like to take: at the aisle or near the porthole. In the first case, it will be convenient to get up if necessary, without disturbing anyone. This is especially important when flying with children, who often need to be taken to the toilet. However, these places have their drawbacks: passengers and flight attendants who will move along the aisle can cause you some inconvenience. In addition, you will always have to let those who are closer to the porthole pass. Especially if the flight is long. In turn, the seats near the porthole can be attractive for those who like to watch the flight through them. But it won't matter if you are traveling at night.
