Airlines with a high level of service try to make air travel as comfortable as possible. However, flying is still quite a tiring thing. That’s why it’s so important to choose the right seats in the cabin. One of the most popular aircraft currently used to transport passengers over long distances is the Airbus 320. The interior layout of both models (320-100 and 320-200) looks approximately the same. Currently only the second model is in operation. From first to technical reasons the developers refused. But first things first.
History of creation
Narrow-body aircraft for short and medium-haul airlines. Airbus began developing the A320 after the success of the A300. The main features of the new product were a digital cockpit and EDSU (remote control system). Instead of mechanical instruments in front of the pilots’ eyes, already in 1988 all flight data was displayed on a cathode-ray screen. The third innovation is the use of sidesticks instead of steering wheels. These side handles were directly connected to the aircraft's control apparatus. Any movement on the sidesticks was instantly processed by on-board computers and put into action. High level automation made it possible to limit the number of crew to two pilots. For the same reason, this model is actively used by Aeroflot.
Airbus 320, the interior diagram of which is presented below, has a length of 37.59 m, a height of eleven meters, and a maximum width of thirty-four meters. With a maximum load of one and a half hundred people, the airliner can cover a distance of six thousand kilometers. The difference in modifications affected the number of seats. The two-class model is designed for 150 passengers, and the one-class model is designed for one hundred and eighty.
Airbus 320 aircraft: updated interior layout
The A320 has a number of advantages compared to other airliners: large shelves for hand luggage in the spacious cabin, wide hatches for loading luggage and a large cargo deck. In the early 2000s, the cladding panels in the cabin were changed, FAPs were made with touch screens, the volume of shelves for hand luggage increased by eleven percent, LED individual lighting and the ability to adjust the brightness of the cabin appeared. In addition, computer logistics were updated, cathode-ray screens were replaced with LCD displays. For these reasons, as well as due to its relatively low cost, the Airbus is very popular in the world.
Production
Parts from various factories are supplied to Toulouse for final assembly of the A320. In 2007, German managers achieved the transfer of production to Germany. Production capacity is forty-two units per month, in KRN - fifty aircraft per year. Some parts supplied with the A320 release allows Airbus Industrie to compensate for losses associated with the production of the A380. But the company incurs losses due to the difference in exchange rates. Payment for equipment occurs in dollars, and production is concentrated in the Eurozone. The successful model served as the basis for the development of the A321, A319 and A318.
Airbus 320: interior diagram
Aeroflot best places on the plane he names the following: A, B, E, F in the fourth row and B, C, D, E in the eleventh. General rules seat selection - standard. Before purchasing a ticket, familiarize yourself with the aircraft layout diagram from booklets that can be purchased at the ticket office. “Good” tickets sell out quickly, so it’s better to arrive early for registration. It is better not to purchase places in the tail, near the galleys and toilets. When purchasing, be guided by your taste: if you are going to sleep the whole trip, it is better to choose a place near the wall, and if you are admiring the clouds, then by the porthole. These are two different concepts. Study the brochures carefully.
The Airbus 320 200, the interior diagram of which is presented below, includes twenty-five rows of five or six seats each. The first five rows are dedicated to business class. The distance between the rows in this model is quite limited. The first row has its own characteristics:
- business chairs have a large angle of inclination, you can easily recline the back without hitting anyone;
- Passengers with small children rarely fly in business class, although the entire cabin is equipped with mounts for baby bassinets;
- business class passengers will not have special place for legs.
Economy Class Features
The sixth row is located in front of the partition of the Airbus 320 airliner. The interior diagram demonstrates this in detail. The seat pitch in economy class is even smaller. But passengers in a separate row do not have to worry that someone will recline their seat on them. If you don’t take magazines with you on the road, you’ll always have to admire the wall in front. Since this is the first row of economy class, service begins from there.
The eighth row is close to the emergency exit. Therefore, the seat backs are very limited in movement. Passengers in the ninth row will face the same problem. Places A and F can be beveled. But, thanks to the large distance between the rows, passengers can sit comfortably with their legs stretched out. If one of your neighbors needs to go out, they can do so without disturbing you.
The first nine seats B and E do not have porthole access. They are located in the middle of the row. Passengers from seats C and D can quickly leave them at any time without disturbing their neighbors. But flight attendants with trolleys and other flight participants may be in the way when they move along the aisle in the Airbus 320 100 model.
The interior layout is designed in such a way that the best economy class seats are in the tenth row: B, C, D and E. Passenger comfort is achieved by easily reclining seats and large legroom. But hand luggage will have to be placed under your feet, since there is no space under the seats for it. This situation will make access to escape hatches difficult. It is better not to buy tickets for the ninth and tenth rows for passengers with children and the elderly. The most safe places on this plane they are in the fourth and eleventh rows, as they are located next to the emergency exits.
Other interior features
The outer seats of the twenty-fourth row can be very uncomfortable due to their close proximity to the toilet stalls. It is worth preparing in advance for constant accumulation people at the chairs. The seats in the last, twenty-fifth row are considered the most uncomfortable on the plane. In addition to the smell from the toilet, constant movement, the sound of the tank draining and slamming stall doors, people sitting in the last row will not be able to recline their chair back.
Even the tallest passengers may feel uncomfortable on this plane. This is due not only to turbulence, but also to technical nuances airliner. However, despite these shortcomings, the A320 model is one of the most successful in the world. More than four thousand cars have already been produced, seven more are being prepared for launch.
Development prospects
Although the A320 made its first flight a quarter of a century ago, the aircraft is constantly being modernized. Currently, developers are working on installing new engines that will save fuel by fifteen percent, as well as increase the flight range by 950 km or the payload by two tons. The Airbus 320, whose interior layout is practically no different from its predecessor, received the prefix neo- (new engine options) in its name. According to the company's general director, the new equipment will reduce operating costs by 20%. is preparing for release in 2016. And in just 15 years, Airbus production plans to sell 4,000 units. 670 orders have already been collected for total in a thousand units. In Russia, the first customer was the airline Transaero.
Summary
The most comfortable aircraft for long flights today is the Airbus 320. The cabin layout, studied in detail before purchasing a ticket, allows you to determine a comfortable place for the flight. Depends on this general impressions about the time spent on the plane. No. 4 (A, B, E, F) and No. 11 (B, C, D, E) are the safest seats on the Airbus 320 airliner. The S7 interior diagram demonstrates this in detail.
The Airbus A320 aircraft is a representative of narrow-body air vehicles for medium-haul flights. It was created by Airbus S.A.S. The Airbus A320 (photo below) differs from other aircraft of a similar design in its more spacious passenger cabin, wide shelves for hand luggage, high load capacity on the lower deck and convenient hatches for luggage.
Short story
The Airbus A320 was developed back in the mid-1980s. At that time, it could easily be called innovative. It, for example, became the first non-military aircraft equipped with Fly-By-Wire (electronic fly-by-wire control system). Previously, this technology was used only on fighter aircraft. Conventional steering wheels were replaced with side control handles, and dial indicators were abandoned in favor of displays. Also, the flight engineer was replaced by computers, which provided the calculation of all the necessary flight parameters and controlled the work of the crew. For the first time, the weight of the aircraft was lightened using composite materials. The Airbus A320 made its first flight in 1987, and its commercial operation began in March 1988. This aircraft had no equal at that time. It went far ahead of its most important competitors, Boeing, while boasting a lower price due to the reduction in the cost of fuselage skin.
Until early February 2008, aircraft installation could only be carried out in the city of Toulouse (France), but since March 2008, due to increased demand, work was also carried out at the Hamburg Finkenwerder plant. Moreover, an assembly line for A320 series aircraft was also later opened in China. As of 2011, the estimated productivity was 4 aircraft per month.
Almost 30 years have passed since the release of the first prototype. During this time, the aircraft was modernized several times. The latest modification, the Airbus A320 NEO, features improved wings and an engine.
Technical characteristics of the Airbus A320 aircraft

- Length - 35.57 meters.
- The wingspan is 34.1 meters.
- The fuselage diameter is 3.95 meters.
- Maximum allowed takeoff weight- 780 centners.
- Cruising speed - 910 km/h (840 km/h).
- The noise level on takeoff is 82 decibels.
- The maximum possible flight altitude is up to 11.8 meters.
- Flight range is up to 6.15 kilometers.
- Passenger capacity depends on the configuration and ranges from 150 to 180 people.
A320 family of aircraft
A318 is the smallest of the line. The basic configuration of the A318 is designed to carry 107 passengers in two classes of cabins. In the one-class variation of the model, the capacity is 132 passengers. Made its first flight in July 2003. This aircraft can fly over a distance of up to 5950 km. The A318 can also be used at airports with shorter runways than aircraft of similar size and capacity. It is suitable for use at airports located within the city.
A319 is a modified version of the A320 with a shortened fuselage. This was achieved by reducing the number of seats for passengers by two rows. Its dimensions allow it to cover a distance of up to 6850 kilometers. This is the longest range of the entire A320 family. Designed to carry 124 passengers. The permissible range is about 6,650 kilometers; a version is available with increased capacity by 32 seats, but with a shorter maximum flight distance.
A319CJ are business aircraft with a very small capacity, but a significantly longer flight range.
A319LR is a modification of the Airbus A319 with additional fuel tanks and the ability to fly a distance of 8.3 kilometers.
A319ACJ (another name is Airbus Corporate Jet) is a corporate aircraft that can carry 39 passengers with a flight range of up to 12,000 kilometers.
The A320 is a twin-engine airliner with a center aisle cabin. It features four passenger entrances and four emergency exits. The Airbus A320 can accommodate a maximum of 180 passengers. In the basic two-class version, the cabin accommodates up to 150 passengers. The average flight range is 4600 kilometers.
A321 is an extended version of the same Airbus A320. Capacity - from 185 to 220 passengers. The plane first flew in 1994. The flight range is 5600 kilometers.
New Engine Option
Airbus has long been developing new engines that will power the Airbus A320. The interior layout is shown below. This development was called New Engine Option, abbreviated as NEO. Customers are offered a choice of Pratt & Whitney PW1000G and CFM International LEAP-X engines. They're nearly 16 percent more fuel-efficient, although the total savings will be slightly less because about 2 percent of the money saved will go towards re-engineering existing models. The new devices will provide greater flight range (by approximately 950 kilometers) and payload capacity (by as much as two tons). The A320 NEO also features redesigned wings with end plates called shark fins.
Pratt & Whitney's PW1000G
The Airbus CEO said that by installing Pratt & Whitney's PW1000G series engines, a 15-20 percent reduction in operating costs can be guaranteed. The first aircraft of this type will be delivered in 2016. In total, Airbus plans to produce 4,000 A320 NEO class aircraft over the next 15 years. One of the largest customers was the American air transport company Virgin America, which completed all the documents and paid for the order for 30 brand new Airbuses at once. A total of 60 aircraft are to be delivered under the contract. IndiGo Airlines also became interested in the new engines and signed a contract for the supply of about 150 A320 NEO aircraft.
Competition
The main competitors in the aircraft market for the A320 family are Boeing aircraft. For example, the Boeing 757 is a competitor to the Airbus A321, as it has a longer flight range and greater passenger capacity. Fortunately for Airbus S.A.S., this aircraft model was discontinued in 2005. Although the Airbus A320, about which passenger reviews have always been very good, for a long time was the most popular aircraft, development modern technologies forces developers to improve the liner again and again. In addition, the appearance of the Next Generation line of aircraft on the market displaced the entire A320 family, which prompted Airbus to release A320 NEO class aircraft.
The Airbus A320 is a passenger jet airliner with a narrow fuselage and the first aircraft to use a fly-by-wire control system. It belongs to the short- and medium-haul type. Serial production of the A320 began in 1988. The airliner is extremely popular among airlines. Until 2017, about 8 thousand vehicles were produced, of which 6.5 thousand are still in use.
A320 versions
The first version of the Airbus A320-100 airliner, developed in the 80s of the last century and produced in limited quantities: 21 cars in total. The fact is that almost immediately the A320-200 model was developed, which became the leading modification of the Airbus. This aircraft is equipped with additional fuel tanks to increase its flight range. Its variations A 320-212, A320-214, A 320-232, A 320-231 did not undergo significant changes in flight characteristics. The updates concerned mainly the internal configuration.
In the early 2010s. As a result of a deep modernization of the A320, the newest ultra-modern Airbus A320neo aircraft appeared, which made its first commercial flight on January 21, 2016 with Lufthansa.
Layout of the passenger cabin of the Airbus A320
Anyone who is about to fly on this Airbus is undoubtedly concerned about the question of what the passenger cabin of the A320 looks like? In its segment, it is distinguished by its spaciousness and roomy niches for storing hand luggage. The cargo deck has a large capacity. The plane has different variants configuration passenger compartment, which can accommodate up to 180 people inside. However, more often an airbus has two classes of service: business and economic. The business sector can be designed for:
- 8 seats (EasyJet carrier),
- 12 seats (Russia Airlines),
- 20 seats (at Aeroflot).
Thus, the total number of seats can be reduced to 134, and the capacity of the economy sector accordingly to 114.
Passenger scheme Airbus cabin A320
Economy class
Economy seats start in rows 3, 4 or 6. They are located immediately behind the business sector partition. When eating, passengers in these seats use folding tables. The seats are arranged in a “3×3” type. They can have a width of 43.2 cm and 45.7 cm. If the seats are narrow, then the passage between the seats is quite wide and amounts to 63.5 cm. This creates additional convenience for passengers occupying seats on the edge. They will not be touched by people passing by. The economy class cabin has two bathrooms, which are located at the end of the cabin immediately behind the last row.
Business Class
From 1 to 2 (in other configurations there are 3 or 5 rows) there are business seats of the “2x2” type. Wide seats (57 cm), an almost horizontally reclining backrest, and a footrest create comfortable flight conditions for passengers in this class of service. The distance between the rows is more than half a meter, so a passenger who wants to take a nap will not cause any inconvenience to the people sitting behind him, even if he reclines the back of his seat at the maximum possible angle.
Best places
- seats C and D on the Airbus A320-214 are located in close proximity to the toilet;
- Most people are not very pleased to see a wall in front of them (at a distance of 1 -1.5 m) for several hours.
6th row (in other trim levels 3rd or 4th row) - these are the first economy seats. They have more legroom, and for passengers traveling with children under 2 years old, this is the most comfortable row because:
- cradles are attached to the wall in front;
- other passengers will not be disturbed here: there is no reclining seat in front, and technical rooms (toilet and kitchen) are located at the end of the plane.
Photos of the salon
The 13th row (10 or 11 in terms of other trim levels) also has additional legroom, since here the seats are located immediately behind the emergency hatch. However, the A320 has two escape hatches, and the second is located directly behind the 13th row, limiting the recline angle of the backrest.
The greatest comfort in the economy class cabin, of course, is found in row 14 seats (11 or 12 in other trim levels). Their legroom is increased due to the emergency hatch, and the reclining angle of the seat is not limited. However, according to existing rules For air travel safety, seats in front of emergency hatches should not be occupied by children, pregnant women, disabled people and passengers transporting animals.
Main characteristics
Advanced technologies for the end of the last century radically changed the equipment of the A320 airliner:
- In the cockpit, the instrument panel with arrows was replaced by an electronic one, which was equipped with beam displays (then they were replaced by LCD monitors).
- The flight of the A320 aircraft is controlled by convenient side handles instead of a steering wheel. The trajectory set by them is first analyzed by the on-board computer, and only then fed to the steering planes.
- Electrical remote control allowed the aircraft to be flown by a crew of only two pilots, as control of the aircraft became much easier.
The A320 has other less bright ones, but still significant characteristics: This is an increase in the number of doors: 4 passenger exits and the same number of emergency exits.
Design features
The Airbus 320 is a monoplane with a low-swept wing with engines located underneath it.
Capacity, dimensions, weight
A 320 can accommodate 180 passengers, while the maximum payload of the aircraft is 16,600 kg.
The length of this aircraft is 37.57 m, while the length of the passenger cabin is only 27.5 m and the width is 3.7 m. The wing span of the airliner is 34.1 m. They are quite thin and have improved aerodynamics, which contributes to economical fuel consumption and reducing inductive reactance. Aeroflot was the first Russian carrier to operate the A320 with new aerodynamic Sharklets - wingtips.
Its commercial weight also depends to a certain extent on how much the aircraft itself weighs. Thus, the maximum takeoff weight of the A320 is 78 tons, the landing weight is 66 tons, with a low aircraft weight of 42,100 kg.
Flight data
The A320 can reach speeds of up to 890 km/h with a take-off speed of 240 km/h. It is capable of covering distances up to 6150 km at maximum height flight 11900 m, but not every airfield can accept this airbus. Landing strip must correspond to the minimum length of its take-off distance, which is 2090 m. The design of the aircraft assumes fuel consumption at cruising speed (840 km/h) of 2,600 l/h. At the same time, the volume of fuel tanks is 24,210 - 27,200 liters.
The history of the Airbus A320
The Airbus Industry A320 first took to the skies in 1987. It passed tests quickly enough, without any complaints, and was certified. The first customer of the developed airbuses was the famous European airline Air France. And in the early spring of 1988, the A320 airliner made its very first regular flight.
Since then the car has been improved several times. The A320neo is a representative of the new generation of narrow-body long-haul airliners. On September 25, 2014, the a320neo was tested for the first time. By the end of the year the car was certified. This required lifting the airliner into the sky 600 times. The total flight duration was 1,700 hours.
Where is it produced?
Components produced at Airbus factories are transported to Toulouse for final assembly of the A320. In order to financially improve the company, in 2007 the production of the A320 was transferred from France to Germany, and additionally production of these machines was established in China. Also in 2010, an agreement was concluded for the production of components for the airliner at the aircraft plant in Irkutsk.
Cost of different models
How much an Airbus A320 costs depends on the year of manufacture, modification and wear and tear of the car and varies from 65 to 105 million dollars. So board a320-200 2002. with a total flight time of 26,435 hours can be purchased for $70,000,000, and a used modernized A320neo: for $102.8 million. New airliners are much more expensive. For example, the just released a320-214 will cost the buyer $93.9 million or more (specific features only increase the cost of the car), and the a320neo will cost $107.3 million.
Last year, Airbus received a huge number of orders for 1,619 airliners with a total value of $240.5 billion.
News, modernization, prospects
The a320 has a great future. Such airbuses are in demand in the passenger aircraft market. According to a long-term thirty-year forecast made by Boeing, global airlines need 38,050 new aircraft, including 26,730 narrow-body aircraft.
The modern, modernized A320neo of various configurations is especially popular among airlines. And although the fleets of leading companies in the medium-haul aircraft segment are still dominated by A320-200s of all modifications, the future still lies with a new version of this airliner.

Dear visitors of the Aviawiki website! There are so many of your questions that, unfortunately, our specialists do not always have time to answer them all. Let us remind you that we answer questions absolutely free of charge and on a first-come, first-served basis. However, you have the opportunity to be guaranteed to receive a prompt response for a symbolic amount.
If you want to look at a photo of the Airbus A320, you will immediately notice that many have this model in their fleet. Aeroflot is among them.
If you look at the characteristics of the A320 aircraft, you can easily see why it is in such demand among all companies. The capacity of the Airbus A320 and the weight of the Airbus 320 are all impressive things about this aircraft. The passengers themselves speak more than positively about it.
They began to create this airliner so that the company could have suitable competitor for and 727. Its developers wanted to make its similar in size, but at the same time improve the technologies that were used at that time in aircraft.
Airbus A320-200.
One of the innovations was fly-by-wire control system in the cockpit. This means that instead of steering wheels, handles were introduced. Also in the design of the Airbus itself they used composite materials.
The airliner was assembled in Toulouse, and then in Hamburg, as it began to be in demand.
In March 1984 work began on the production of this aircraft. So the first flight of the new model was carried out in 1987. In 1988 Air France purchased the first aircraft of this type.
Features of the Airbus A320
It refers to narrow-body types of passenger airliners, with enough wide fuselage. This aircraft was developed for routes near and far. Him two engines - turbofan, which are located under the wings.
This same airliner was the first to have so-called Sharklets. These are special wing tips that allow increase the aerodynamic characteristics of the wings, and also reduce fuel consumption.
Inside the cockpit.
In addition to innovations in the cockpit, he the aircraft interior has also undergone changes. He more spacious, and the shelves for hand luggage are large and spacious. There is also individual lighting for each passenger in the cabin. A photo of the Airbus A320 interior is presented below.
The cargo deck has also been expanded, as well as hatches for loading luggage.
Aircraft maintenance is also less expensive. This was one of the reasons for the popularity of this aircraft. The noise level of the aircraft has also been reduced.
Cabin.
Its flight range is 4900 km. Cruising speed reaches 840 km/h. The salon can accommodate up to 140-180 passengers. Weight empty plane — 42,100 kg.
It is easily recognizable by one small feature - the front landing gear is slightly skewed.
Interior layout
As a rule, the salon only has one central aisle. Available 4 passenger exits and 4 emergency exits.
A typical layout is two chairs in a row in Business and three in Economy.
As you can see, thanks to its characteristics, the Airbus A320 has become very popular not only in Europe and America, but also in Russia and Asia. Currently, there are about 6,092 such aircraft in operation.
This aircraft belongs to the narrow-body type. It was released in 1988, and has proven itself with positive side at short and medium distances.
Aircraft characteristics
The Airbus A320 (Airbus A320) was equipped by the standards of the 1980s with advanced technology, especially with regard to the cockpit and fly by wire control systems ( electronic system management). Pointer instruments are a thing of the past, replaced by electronic instruments that occupy almost the entire dashboard. The steering wheels have been replaced by side handles, the movements of which are processed by on-board computers and only then the steering planes are activated. Automation of the aircraft made it possible to control it with a crew consisting of only two pilots.
The A320 differs from other airliners of this type due to the fact that the cabin is more spacious and cargo capacity is increased.
After 2000, the following innovations were used on all models:
- information panel with LED touch display;
- lighting above each chair, adjusting its brightness from 0 to 100%;
- LCD instrument panels in the cockpit.
The aircraft's computer shell has also been completely modernized. All this makes the Airbus A320 very popular all over the world and one of the most ordered models.
Composite materials make up about 20% of the A320's structure, which reduces its maximum take-off weight and contributes to significant fuel savings due to improved aerodynamics.
The aircraft is equipped with digital avionics, consisting of 6 displays. All necessary information about the operation of aircraft systems and failure warnings, as well as navigation, is displayed here.
Where is it produced?
Until 2008, the aircraft was assembled only in France, but due to the great demand for the model, production was opened in Germany. In addition, a production line was opened in China; it produces 4 aircraft per month. Transportation of all aircraft components is carried out on an A300-600ST aircraft.
Airbus S.A.S plans to increase the number of aircraft produced to 42 per month. Most orders come from leasing and Asian companies, where it is most popular and in demand.
Development of the aircraft began in 1984, and in 1988 Air France received a new aircraft. The A320 can accommodate up to 180 passengers and cover a distance of up to 6,000 km. The main competitors of the aircraft are the Boeing 737 and Bombardier CS 300. The domestic Tu-154 is not a competitor due to its high fuel consumption. Tu-204 - comparable in characteristics, but produced in limited volume. The new generation of Airbuses is already in production, and is called the neo prefix.
From domestic carriers this type The aircraft is operated by the low-cost airline Rossiya. There are several A320s in its fleet. The Airbus A 321 is already widely used.
Best seats on board
Seats on the A320 can be arranged in several ways. But each modification is as convenient as possible for passengers. All aircraft are created in two classes. For rows there can be the following variations: 4, 5, 6 seats. Business class is configured according to the 2+2 scheme. The first 5 rows are reserved for him.
The seat backs do not recline, but there are steps for the feet. The last row is adjacent to the general economy class cabin. As for him, these are the seats from the 6th to the 25th row. Everything here is quite monotonous, although there are also improved seats that can be purchased for additional fee. However, for them, the passenger must satisfy certain requirements of the company.
At Aeroflot airline
Aeroflot A320 - the best seats are in the 6th, 9th and 10th rows of economy. Row 6 doesn't have reclining seats in the front, but you'll get your food first and get a bassinet for small child. The downside is that there is little legroom. 
Row 9 has plenty of legroom, but the front seatbacks recline.
The tenth row is the best in economy, but not everyone can be seated here due to the proximity of the emergency exit.
At S7 company
The company has a fleet of 18 A320 aircraft of two classes. Here, 8 seats are allocated to business class, and 150 – to economy class.
There is a lot of free space in the 1st row of business class, but the partition from the cockpit will cause some discomfort. The third row is already economy class, also located near the partition, but there is no one in front, and there is a certain freedom for the legs.
Some of the best seats are in the 11th row. The seats are comfortable, you can stretch your legs and recline the back easily. The only restriction is that you cannot place hand luggage on the aisle so as not to block the emergency exit.
To Ural Airlines
A park " Ural Airlines» has 23 A320 type aircraft. There is also a two-class layout - 12 business class seats and 144 economy class seats.
From rows 1 to 3 - business class. Regardless of the partition or proximity to the economy, these are comfortable places.
The fourth row is already economy class. Here the partition is far enough away and there is room for legs. The tenth row has more space for the seats in front, but the backrests cannot recline.
The best seats in economy class are the 11th row. There is also legroom and the backrest reclines.
At Red Wings Airlines
The company's aircraft fleet includes several A321s, new aircraft from the A320 family. There are 220 passenger seats, which are also divided by class.
From the first to the seventh row - business class. As a standard, these are the most comfortable seats on the entire plane.
The eighth row is the best in economy class. Large selection of food and drinks. There is space in front.
The seats in the twentieth row have increased comfort. There is also a lot of free space here.
Yamal Airlines
Yamal Airlines operates eight A320 aircraft. All of them are made in two class modifications and have 8 business class seats and 156 economy class seats. 
The first two rows are usually occupied by business class. Preference can still be given to the first one, where you can freely stretch your legs. The second row is located closer to economy class and is not suitable for a quiet and relaxing flight.
The third row of economy class also excels in legroom.
Standard for this arrangement, the best seats are in the 11th row; in terms of comfort and free space, they are best in economy class.
Cockpit
The pilot compartment is very comfortable and ergonomic. Here all the space is used to the maximum. By replacing the steering wheel with a control knob, there was space for tables with documentation. Unlike its competitor, the Boeing 737, everything here is orderly and in its place. 
Summarizing all of the above about the Airbus A320 aircraft, we get a good medium and short-range aircraft. The interior is comfortable and has a number of significant advantages over its competitors. The design itself and the electronic filling are still being successfully modernized and meet the latest requirements of technical progress. Economical and reduced level engine noise make it more profitable to use.
We hope that we have helped you understand the intricacies of choosing a seat, which directly affects your comfort during the flight. After all, this is a rather important component of work or, conversely, the beginning of a vacation. Pleasant flight!
