Boeing 777 nord wind airlines. Nord wind airlines, North wind

In 1994, she made her first flight new model Boeing, developed only with the help of computer graphics. This is a Boeing 777 200 aircraft. The liner is still operated by several major Russian air carriers. Consider the characteristics of this board and determine the optimal passenger seats for a comfortable flight.

On the basis of the 200, the developers supplemented the design with two more series: ER - a board with an increased flight distance - and LR, which flies over extra long distances. Since domestic companies use the basic series and ER models, let's talk about the characteristics of these particular boards. In addition, we will discuss what the Boeing 777 200 is, the cabin layout, best places- we will note all these points in our article.

Boeing 777 200 made its first flight back in the mid-nineties

With an aircraft length of 63.7 meters and a wingspan of 60.9 m, the liner is capable of flying up to 14,300 kilometers, while developing a cruising speed of 905 km/h.

The interior of these models can be of several types of layout. Here are some typical class options:

  • single-class economy - 440 seats;
  • two-class economy + business - 400 seats;
  • three-class economy + first + business - 306 seats.

Wherein the total cabin width of the ER series aircraft is 5.87 meters, and economy class seats are arranged in a 3:4:3 format. In the first class cabin, the seats are arranged according to the 3:3:3 scheme, and the business class offers passengers seats according to the 2:3:2 type. In addition, in the standard cabin of the liner on blocks 39–42, the seats are arranged in a 2:4:2 format. On the last, forty-third line of seats, there are only four seats (Rossiya Airlines).

The above diagram will help you more accurately understand what the cabin plan of such a side is. Accordingly, people who prefer to watch the flight from the porthole choose seats marked A or L in any row. We will discuss some of the nuances regarding the flight and the convenience of passengers in more detail.

Layout of the basic side modification

Today, such aircraft are offered by one of the major aviation companies - Nord Wind. The Boeing 777 200, the cabin layout of which is shown in the photo below, is represented here by two liners. Consider the plan of the aircraft.

These are two-class models, where only 6 seats are placed in the business class cabin with a 2:2:2 layout. Thus, out of 58 rows, a single block is reserved for the line of seats with special comfort. The seats here are located at a sufficient distance from the partitions. Therefore, passengers occupying these seats are unlikely to experience inconvenience during the flight.

The common salon begins from the fifth row. Moreover, there is no strict numbering here - the line of seats at number 13 is not here for reasons of a superstitious plan. In addition, rows 15–19 and 40–44 are occupied by utility rooms. The interval between the seats of the line is about 74 centimeters, so such aircraft are considered not very comfortable for the flight.

In block 5 there are only 4 seats. The main disadvantage here is their placement along the central axis of the side. That is, sitting on this line, passengers will not be able to watch the flight through the window. Passengers who occupy seats 6 A and 6K are more lucky in this regard. People who occupy the rest of the seats in this line will have to look at the wall that encloses the business class cabin.

Behind the 14th, 39th and 58th rows are the emergency exit doors and the technical block. Accordingly, chairs for 12, 14, 37, the middle section 38, 57 and the entire 58 line are unlikely to be decomposed. And the proximity of kitchens and toilets will not be the best neighborhood.

20 seat line the layout is similar to 6 nearby. Here, passengers also watch the entire flight through the partition of the onboard bathrooms. However, experts are not inclined to compare these two options.

Row 20 is very noisy due to constant queues for the restrooms. In addition, there is much less space between the seat and the wall. The only plus here will be the dual seats. Seats C and H of the 21st row have similar characteristics, with the difference that passengers on these seats will be able to comfortably place their legs - the distance to the wall allows this.

Passengers planning to fly in the middle part of the board should remember that there are no windows on certain rows from 20 to 39. Therefore, if you want to take a seat by the window, check with an airport employee or an airline representative in advance.

In general, it is more comfortable for the flight. On the 45th line, the seats are located only on the sides, and a passage opens in front of them in the emergency exit doors. The inconvenience here is the proximity to the restrooms and, as a result, increased noise.

The seats of the central part of the 46th row are completely identical to the similar arrangement of the seats of the 21st line. The seats from rows 54 to 56 are also relatively comfortable. Indeed, in this part of the liner, the layout of the seats is located in the format 2:4:2. The last rows are traditionally considered the worst places on board.

Overview of the 777 200 ER Series

Now let's deal with the liners that it offers to fly. Boeing 777 200 ER, in which we will now consider the best places, suggests a slightly different interior layout. There are three comfort classes: business, superior and economy. The business class cabin has two rows of seats with a 2:3:2 layout. Here the flight will be quite comfortable and unlikely to bring inconvenience.

The improved seating starts in the third row and ends in the sixth row of seats. Moreover, the last block is arranged according to the scheme 2:3:2. Therefore, in this part of the liner, it is optimal to choose places 6A, 6C or 6J and 6L - they are located on the sides of the aircraft. But in general, the advantages and disadvantages of the first rows after the partition are similar to the previously considered example.

The central block of the salon starts from line 10. The seats along the sides border on the partitions of the bathroom, and the axial section - with the kitchen. However, the distance between the chair and the wall is quite sufficient for a comfortable body position. Therefore, the main disadvantage here is considered elevated level noise. When deciding to take places from the 12th to the 27th row, keep in mind that there are no portholes on some lines. The specific location of such "unfortunate" places should be clarified with the company's employees on a specific board.

Seat backs 29 and 43 lines on this aircraft are limited in unfolding or the seats do not recline at all. The reason for such inconvenience is not the most successful decision of the designers - the close location of the partitions of the technical blocks.

Seats in the compartment of the first class of the liner

30 line located just outside the emergency doors next to the toilets. Accordingly, there is enough space in front of the seats to stretch the legs, but, again, noisy. In addition, experts note the fact that the turbulence of the aircraft is more noticeable in the tail section of the side than in the nose block.

Seats in rows 40–41 marked A, C, J and L - paired, not triple. For this reason, they can be called a good option for young couples. As for similar chairs in the last two sections, a drawback can be noted here - the proximity to the bathroom. In addition, it is impossible to decompose into the seats of the last row - they are located almost close to the wall.

Features of the selection of chairs

When you are, you should pay attention to a few details:

  1. Do not choose places that are nearby office space. Passengers will go there all the time, and you will not have the opportunity to rest.
  2. It is also not worth buying tickets for seats in the tail of the aircraft - here the already noted problems are complemented by the inability to expand the chair. Agree, it is inappropriate to choose a seat where there is no possibility to recline the backs. After all, to be long time in one position is very uncomfortable.

When choosing a seat on this aircraft, you should avoid proximity to the technical blocks and the last row seats

The fact that blocks 13 and 17 are missing on some airliners is connected only with the personal motives of the manufacturers, this does not apply to safety at all. In addition, the design features of the liner suggest such changes.

Finally, we note an important nuance for beginners. Try to purchase tickets in advance and be sure to consult with an airport employee about the specific characteristics of the selected seat. A printout of the board diagram, which the tourist keeps with him, can also greatly facilitate the choice of a chair and protect him from a spoiled trip.

The video below shows the standard interior of the new modification of the described model, the Boeing 700 300.

The Boeing 777 200 made its first flight back in the mid-nineties, but many airlines still use this aircraft today.

Ladies and Gentlemen! I would like to dispel all doubts about the services and the quality of the services provided on the airline's flights North wind! He himself has repeatedly used the services of the tour operator Pegas Touristik and for years on flights of various a / c from Orenburg Airlines to Emirates and there is something to compare with!

Fleet
North Wind is a relatively young airline and has made significant strides since entering the charter market!
Having started its activity in December 2008, with a fleet of 3 Boeing 757-200 aircraft, and with an asset of 27 airliners to date:
Boeing 757-200 - 4(VQ-BBU, VQ-BHR, VQ-BJK, VQ-BKM);
Boeing 767-300 - 12 , VQ-BRA);
Boeing 777-200 - 2(VP-BJB, VP-BJF);
Airbus A320 - 1(VP-BJH);
Airbus A321 - 7(VP-BGH, VP-BRD, VQ-BOD, VQ-BOE, VQ-BRM, VQ-BRN, VQ-BRO).
The average age of the entire park is 14 years! What is nothing, for the air fleet!










The air carrier does not plan to stop there and is waiting for the arrival of new types of aircraft in the near future!

Base airports
Flights are operated from many regions of our country, but the base airports are Moscow-Sheremetyevo, Terminal C, Krasnoyarsk-Emelyanovo, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Antalya, Bangkok!
These airports carry out comprehensive aircraft maintenance, from maintenance to washing blankets for passengers.
In other cities, a limited range of services is performed: cleaning the aircraft cabin, loading in-flight meals and equipment for servicing passengers on the flight. And at all, not because of the economy, the replacement of blankets or the general dry cleaning of the interior is not carried out, but for technical reasons and in time! Just imagine, 1 hour of parking from the moment of landing to the moment of departure of the plane, what can be done during this time?

Service classes
Today, the North Wind offers three classes of passenger service: Business, Comfort and Economy (for passengers traveling on BOEING 777-200 aircraft. Layout 24/53/207);
On ships, Boeing 767-300 two classes of service: business and economy;
Boeing 757-200, Airbus A321 one class - economy;
Airbus A320, business and economy.
Read more about the benefits of buying a business and comfort class ticket on the tour operator's website

Salon
On this moment on most aircraft, the interior has been replaced with red leather seats, which looks quite good. Legroom is no more and no less than other carriers! The backs of the seats in front of the emergency exit do not recline! According to flight safety requirements! As well as the tables at the seats located in a row, at the emergency exit, should not open when the latch is turned in the direction of the emergency exit. This requirement is controlled by the SAFA International Authority!

Services in flight

When boarding the aircraft, you will be met by friendly flight attendants! They will tell you the location of the desired row and the number of the chair!

When placing, try not to linger in the aisles, do not create congestion. Place all your belongings on the luggage racks, or under the seats in front of you!
Transfer to empty seats, but wait for the passengers to board!

Try not to mess with your suitcases in the luggage racks when the BPs are doing a demonstration. emergency exits, if you are not interested, this does not mean that the passengers sitting behind you are also indifferent to this information!

From the press, the glossy Pegasus magazine is presented, you can find it in the pocket of the chair in front of you. I recently read the latest issue.

Caramel, a separate topic for discussion, it becomes ridiculous to read where they complain about such a trifle! Flying on regular lines of the national carrier - Aeroflot, are you offered caramel? If your ears are really stuffy, take a deep breath through your mouth! And the pain will be removed instantly! Or you can take care of yourself and buy lollipops or chewing gum before the flight!

Do not jump out of your seats and do not unfasten your seat belts! Until the "fasten your seat belts" sign goes out! What's the rush?

During the flight, a comfortable temperature is set in the cabin, +27 ... 29 "C, if it's cool, blankets are offered primarily to children! , 134 flew on a carcass, so since then I always take a light blouse with me and never wear open shoes, as the air supply is carried out from the floor and goes upstairs.

Soft drinks are offered on the flight (as a rule, these are juices: tomato, orange, apple, water, and carbonated drinks). As well as cold or hot meals, depending on the duration of the flight. It’s really not always enough to choose hot, but personally I’m not whimsical, and if I don’t get meat, then I won’t give up chicken! Or just eat a snack from lunch! Most often, a choice of hot dishes of 2 types, which are loaded 50/50%. And the quality, or rather the taste of the dish depends on the local food workshop where it was loaded! If you write reviews about the dishes offered to you, then it is better to find the contacts of the restaurant where this dish was prepared.



I flew to Tenerife and Barcelona, ​​noticed that before landing they offered additional soft drinks, which was a very pleasant surprise!

After the service, children sitting next to them were offered children's magazines and kits. Which by the way very calmed the restless children, 4-5 years old.

Cleanliness in salons and restrooms

First of all, it depends on us! Those. Passengers!
It was very unpleasant when I took the safety instructions from the pocket of the chair and covered myself in chewing gum, and also found a toothpick there! Do not understand, do you also hide all the garbage in the pillows on the couch at home? Well, in extreme cases, put it in a hygienic bag or you can throw it in the trash can in the toilet.
The plane is cleaned by ground services, and it is not realistic for a team of 4-6 cleaners to clean all 300 seats in 30 minutes and bring them to their perfect, original appearance! Purely not where they clean, but where they do not litter!

Toilets are not always in perfect condition, but as I observed, flight attendants go there on a flight and try to keep order! But this is not possible to do after each passenger! So try to remember a few simple rules: all garbage in the bin should usually be signed, do not try to stuff paper into all the slots and compartments
The toilets are vacuum, and it is advisable to refrain from any stool urinated and that's enough! Paper, too, in the trash can!
Oh, and please wipe the sink with a paper towel after using it! Consider that you are visiting!

Turbulence and light display Fasten your seat belts and No smoking

During the passage of turbulence zones, there may be chatter! Therefore, for the sake of your own safety, you do not rush into the toilet rooms, but are in a chair with seat belts fastened!
And regarding smoking, it should be clear even to a child! Look, the plane is covered with plastic, the slightest spark can lead to dire consequences! And e-cigarettes are no exception!

Upon arrival at the destination airport, do not rush, rather run to the exit! Until the ground services give the go-ahead for the disembarkation of passengers, no one will leave the aircraft cabin! On average, 5-7 minutes after the aircraft stops in the parking lot, the door is opened to disembark passengers.

My next flight AK NORTH WIND in early August, Moscow-Antalya-Moscow

Upon arrival at the airport, it turned out that the flight was delayed by 45 minutes. What is not critical for me, I'm flying on vacation, with a great mood and attitude!

When the landing was announced, he met the flight attendants with the words "Hello", to which he received a smile and the phrase "Welcome on board" in response.
Aircraft Boeing 777-200, BP-BJF

I settled down, settled down comfortably, seat 27A, economy class, the interior is neat and clean!
It turned out a little later that the back of the entire flight was in an upright position, as there was an emergency exit behind me.
A video system monitor is installed in the chair, from entertainment program route map only.



A little later we were greeted by the commander and senior flight attendant. Unfortunately I don't remember the names. I was pleased with the travel time of 2:30, and I was even glad that the non-reclining back on my chair would not cause me any inconvenience.

Takeoff and landing were 5+, the plane is very large and heavy!

On the flight we got drunk and fed! This procedure very shortens the flight time, which makes me very happy! The food is not bad enough! Choice of pasta with ham or fish with rice!

The flight was uneventful!
I counted about 7 flight attendants in the cabin! Everyone is smiling and friendly! But as I understand it, they will have a return flight to Moscow! I think the fatigue of takeoff and landing still makes itself felt! And on the way back they won't be so happy

On landing, one of the passengers became ill, lost consciousness, but the flight attendant, who was nearby, promptly provided medical assistance!

Do not take guys and girls as service personnel! They are not waiters or cleaners! And we are ready to help you in any situation! Therefore, be attentive to their hard work!

In general, happy with everything! The main thing is my mood!
Remember to smile and be polite! And all goodness will return to you, comrades compatriots!

In preparing the reviews, photographs were used from open sources on the Internet, the official website of the carrier and tour operator, as well as from personal archives.
Thank you for attention!

The layout of all airliners of this model at Aeroflot is the same. There are 3 classes: business, comfort and economy.

Below is a diagram and details of the best places in the Boeing 777-300 at Aeroflot in all classes.

Business class Boeing 777-300ER at Aeroflot

Compared to regular economy class seats, you will have to pay 1,000-4,500 rubles more to fly on Space+ or take advantage of offers bonus program airlines.

Places at the beginning of the economy are also considered successful - on the 17th row, where there is also a little more legroom.

When choosing among the usual places according to the Boeing 777-300 cabin scheme, Aeroflot has a general rule:

  • You need to take it from the porthole (A, K) if you are going to get up only in case of emergency or want to enjoy the view (but no one guarantees it - it depends on the time of day and the weather), an obvious plus is that other passengers who gotta get up;
  • At the aisle (C, D, G, H) - you can get up freely without waiting for the neighbors in the row, but this is where the minus comes from: if the passengers nearby turn out to be restless, you will have to get up and let them through;
  • The middle seats are always considered the worst: there are no personal armrests (one can only hope for passenger ethics), there is no free access to the porthole and the aisle. The second option for unsuccessful places is near the toilets.

The aircraft fleet consists of 21 aircraft, including three B-772ERs. Initially, the airline was created exclusively for charter flights, so the cabin layout was changed from the standard to a more practical option.

Below in the photo is a layout of the Boeing 777-200ER cabin. Nord Wind owns two aircraft with tail numbers VP-BJF, VQ-BUD, with 387 economy class seats and 6 business class seats. The VP-BJH aircraft includes 261 seats for economy class passengers and 24 business class.

General information about the Boeing 777-200ER

Start of operation - 1995, the aircraft belongs to the long-range wide-body twin-engine monoplanes. The Boeing 777-200ER is an improved modification of the B772. It has an increased maximum allowable takeoff weight - up to 247,200 kg, a maximum flight range - up to 14,000 km. Boeing 777 200ER: comfortable luggage racks, cabin width - 5.87 m, portholes - 380 x 250 mm.

The aircraft was designed for transatlantic flights, according to general characteristics it is comfortable and quiet for long flights.

Boeing 777-200ER by Nord Wind

All three aircraft of this modification were previously operated in other countries, including Asian companies. Modifications VP-BJB and VQ-BUD first took to the air in 1998, and the VP-BJF liner in 2004.

  1. Boeing 777-200ER cabin layout (Nord Wind) aircraft VP-BJB and VQ-BUD: economy class seating - three, four, three; 21, 39, 54, 55, 56, 57 rows - two, four, two; in business - two, two, two. Seats in economy class are narrower, made of lightweight material.
  2. (Nord Wind) VP-BJF aircraft: economy class seats - three, three, three; 47, 58, 59 rows - two, three, two; in business - two, two, two.

The seat spacing is up to 74 cm, and the backrest angle is more limited than in similar modifications of airlines engaged only in regular flights.

Evaluation of the best and worst places in the first and second salons of VP-BJB and VQ-BUD

In the Boeing 777-200ER cabin, the best seats that do not have significant disadvantages are located in the business class cabin. A comfortable flight is ensured by: a comfortable footrest, a good backrest, a chair step of a little more than a meter, a large table for eating and an increased seat width (one and a half times wider than in the budget class).

Economy class starts in rows numbered 5 and 6. Pros: no front-seated passengers (which means that no one will lower their seat back in front), the ability to hang a cradle for a child during level flight (therefore, such seats are often reserved for passengers with children in their arms ) and the lack of restrooms and kitchens nearby, so the flight will be more relaxed here. The disadvantages include a small distance to the partition separating the two classes, that is, the passenger will not be able to stretch his legs forward, it is forbidden to hold hand luggage in the legs during takeoff and landing, as there is no holding mechanism in case of sudden braking of the aircraft.

The advantages of rows 7 to 11 are that the passenger can stretch his legs under the seat in front, place his hand luggage there (if necessary).

Rows 12 and 14 complete the first economy class cabin and are considered uncomfortable, as the kitchen is located nearby, the noise and movement in which will interfere with rest. The backs of the seats are fixed, as there is a partition and an emergency exit at the back.

From the 20th row, the second economy class salon begins. The advantage is the absence of forward-sitting passengers. There are much more disadvantages here: there is no way to stretch your legs, there is a kitchen and toilets nearby, constant fuss among the crew and passengers will create significant inconvenience. Smells from the toilet are also an unpleasant addition to comfort. In addition, queues for the toilet will line up exactly near the extreme places of this row.

The convenience of row 21 is only in seats C and H, because there is no chair in front of them and you can fully stretch your legs, but passengers who have gone to the toilet or simply walk around the cabin to stretch their legs will interfere.

Due to the absence of individual air conditioners in the luggage racks above the seats, the operation of the general air conditioning and air circulation system of this modification, the temperature in the cabin between rows 30 and 39 is higher than the standard cabin. And the seats on the 39th row are considered absolutely uncomfortable due to the toilet wall and emergency exits behind the back of the seats, so they are always fixed in an upright position.

Evaluation of the best and worst places in the third salon VP-BJB and VQ-BUD

The third salon opens the 45th row. Due to the presence of an emergency exit in front, it is possible to stretch your legs, and during the flight, no one will tilt the back of the seat in your direction. However, the close location of the toilets (unpleasant smells and queues of people who can stand at the emergency exits) turns such a place into a problematic one.

In the 46th row, the seats located in the middle of the cabin look at the toilet wall. Therefore, the disadvantages are unpleasant odors and the inability to stretch your legs.

Seats C and H in the 53rd row have more inconvenience from contact with passengers going to the toilet, crew and cart during service, since the fuselage narrows in this place.

Rows 54, 55, 56 are comfortable and consist of two seats on the sides of the cab, respectively, there is more peace of mind.

There are restrooms and a kitchen near 57 and 58, so there is no way to recline the seat, and the constant noise and bustle in the toilet lines will spoil the flight.

In the tail section of the aircraft, turbulence is always stronger during turbulence than in the nose, for some this is discomfort.

Characteristics of the layout of the board VP-BJF

(Nord Wind) aircraft with tail number VP-BJF differs from the previous ones. The business class cabin consists of 24 seats (from row 11 to 16). in economy class increased comfort in the step of the chairs, so you can lower the backrest lower. Economy class consists of only two cabins and begins with numbering 31. Passengers who do not have front-seated neighbors during the flight are located in rows 31 and 48, but there are more distances for outstretched legs. The backs of the seats, fixed in a vertical position, are in rows 47 and 59. In rows 47 and 48, the presence of toilet rooms is considered a minus for rest, and for row 59, noise from the kitchen in the tail section of the aircraft.

When you buy tickets, you should pay attention to a few details:

  1. Do not choose places that are near office space. Passengers will go there all the time, and you will not have the opportunity to rest.
  2. It is also not worth buying tickets for seats in the tail of the aircraft - here the already noted problems are complemented by the inability to expand the chair. Agree, it is inappropriate to choose a seat where there is no possibility to recline the backs. After all, being in one position for a long time is very uncomfortable.

When choosing a seat on this aircraft, you should avoid proximity to the technical blocks and the last row seats

The fact that blocks 13 and 17 are missing on some airliners is connected only with the personal motives of the manufacturers, this does not apply to safety at all. In addition, the design features of the liner suggest such changes.

Finally, we note an important nuance for beginners. Try to purchase tickets in advance and be sure to consult with an airport employee about the specific characteristics of the selected seat. A printout of the board diagram, which the tourist keeps with him, can also greatly facilitate the choice of a chair and protect him from a spoiled trip.

The video below shows the standard interior of the new modification of the described model, the Boeing 700 300.

The Boeing 777 200 made its first flight back in the mid-nineties, but many airlines still use this aircraft today - for three blocks of seats in each row Aircraft cabin layout used by Aeroflot Seats in the first class compartment of the aircraft impressive distances and accommodate a lot of passengers, but it cannot be called a model of comfort

Worst Places

But the places that you still should not choose under any circumstances:

  • 30-39 rows. According to passengers, air conditioners do not always work here, which means it is stuffy. Not the most the best option for older passengers.
  • 38 and 39 rows. Seats in the last row should not be chosen. Behind them is the wall of the toilet room, which means that the backs will not recline completely. In addition, due to the proximity to the restroom, people will crowd around you, and food and drinks will be served to you almost last.
  • 57 and 58 rows. Although the side seats in these rows are arranged in pairs, there are still disadvantages. They are similar to 38 and 39 side by side, there is a wall behind, the backs recline weakly, people pass by often, noise will be created. In addition, these are the very last rows on the plane, if the exits do not open at the back, then you will be the last to leave.

You can survive the flight in any place, but if the choice of seat is important for you, then you should not choose these places.

The best seats on the plane

For some it is important to sit by the window, but for someone it is better to sit by the aisle. The layout of the cabin will help determine the choice of the most suitable seats:

Best Places:

  • The first row is business class seats. Here the seats are arranged in pairs, the distance between the seats is increased. The backrests can recline more and there is extra leg room. The chairs themselves are more comfortable than in the other class. They look like in the photo:

  • Fifth row. It is with him that the economy class begins. It is interesting that only the central seats from D to G are located in this row. There are conveniences here: there will be a partition in front of you, not chairs, which means that the seats will not recline on you. But, on the other hand, because of the partition it will not be possible to spread your legs, and you will also have to look at the wall, because there are not even windows nearby.
  • Sixth row. This is the first row for the economy class, where all the seats from A to K appear. But the side seats are convenient here - A, B, C, H, J and K. Legroom has been increased in these places, the partition will not embarrass you. In addition, dinner will be served to you first, you won't have to wait long.
  • 20 and 21 rows. A bit like the 5th and 6th rows, but they are not located behind the business class, but behind the toilet. There's a little more space for legs, but proximity to the restrooms may seem like a big drawback to someone, because people will often walk. And there is also a buffet nearby, from where the smells of food can be heard, but for some this may be a plus.
  • 45 and 46 rows. The same as the previous ones. There will be a wall in front of you, a toilet room is located nearby - all these, of course, are disadvantages, but one of the advantages is legroom, the absence of neighbors in front.
