First class offers 16 recliner seats located in the first 4 rows. The seats of the first class have 2-2 configuration. Passengers of the seats of the 1st row may feel some discomfort due to a slightly limited legroom because of the bulkhead located in front, lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and close location of the lavatory and galley in front. However, passengers of these seats may take advantage of some extra personal space because there are no reclining seats in front.


The seats of the 4th row are the seats of the last row in first class section. As there is no bulkhead behind these seats that separates first class seats from main cabin extra section passengers of these seats may be disturbed during the flight by the noise from the main cabin extra section.

Main cabin extra has 30 standard seats that are located in 5 rows per 6 seats in each. These seats are located in two sections. First section contains 3 rows. All the seats of main cabin extra offer extra legroom and these seats may be booked for an additional fee. As there is no bulkhead in front of seats of the 8th row the tray tables of these seats are located in the armrests that is why the width of these seats is reduced a little.

Behind 3 rows of main cabin extra 5 rows of main cabin seats are located. These seats have 3-3 configuration. Due to missing windows the seats 12A and 12F are considered bad seats.

The only disadvantage of the seats 13A and 13F are misaligned widows.

Because of the exit row located behind the seats of the 15th row are less reclining than standard.

Behind the other 2 exit rows 2 more rows of main cabin extra are located. Because of the exit row located behind the seats of the 16th row have limited recline but at the same time these seats have a little more personal space because the seats in front are less reclining.

The seats of the 17th row are considered the best seats because they offer not only extra legroom but also extra personal space.

Behind the last row of main cabin extra 16 rows of main cabin are located. These seats have 3-3 configuration. All these seats are standard. Only 8 seats located in the last two rows have some disadvantages. The only disadvantage of the seats 32C and 32D is location of the galley and lavatory behind. It is also one of the disadvantages of the seats of the last 33rd row. Among other disadvantages of these seats: limited recline and limited personal space when the seats in front are reclined.
