World Business class consists of 5 rows of angle-flat seats that have 2-2-2 configuration.

The main disadvantages of the seats of the 1st row is close location of the galley and lavatory in front and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.

The noise from the galleys located behind will also cause disadvantage to passengers of the seats of the 5th row.

This airplane offers 40 seats of economy comfort class.

These seats are located in 5 rows and have 2-4-2 configuration.

Thanks to position of the bulkhead the seats of the 10th row offer extra legroom.

However, location of the galleys in front may represent a problem to passengers of these seats.

Economy class seats are divided into 2 sections.

There are totally 222 seats here.

Most of the seats have 2-4-2 configuration.

The second section of economy class seats is located behind lavatories and exit row.

Passengers tend to gather in the area of the seats of the 30th row while waiting to use lavatories causing discomfort to passengers of these seats.

Also these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

Passengers of the seats 30HJ will feel comfortable thanks to additional space for their legs.

The seats 31AB are considered the best seats of the economy class because these seats have extra legroom due to missing seats in front.

But there is no floor storage for these seats during take-off and landing.

As there are no seat behind the seats 41G and 42D are often bumped by service carts and passengers passing by.

Location of the galleys and lavatories behind will cause inconvenience to passengers of the seats 44AB, 44D, 44G, 44HJ and 45DEG.

Limited recline makes the seats 44AB, 44HJ and 45DEG bad seats.
