airBaltic Fleet Boeing 737-500 Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout
On some flights, Air Baltic uses the first couple rows of Economy as European Business Class.
Often, the the middle seat is blocked at the time of booking to provide more room.
A moveable curtain divider is used to indicate where European Business ends and Economy begins.
The seat is the typical slimline Recaro seat that has become so typical for many of the European carriers.
Storage space in the seat back is fairly limited, because the seat is lacking a net on the lower half of the seat back.
