The Airbus A319 is the most popular of the entire Airbus family - a narrow-body medium-haul passenger aircraft. It has two lines of seats, four main doors and two emergency exits. The maximum number of passengers in a single-class layout is 156. Before the flight, passengers often ask themselves questions: how to choose the best Airbus A319 seats, what to look for when booking and buying tickets? We will talk about this further.
Airbus A319 - airliner description
The A320 family of medium-haul and passenger airbuses appeared in the nineties of the last century. These were the first 150-seat narrow-body aircraft created by Airbus Industrie after the Boeing 737 (1960). This includes four main models: A318, A319, A320 and A321.
Airbus Idustrie began developing the A319 program in 1992, and the aircraft made its first flight in August 1995. Compared to the base model (A320), the Airbus 319 is almost four meters shorter, but has a longer flight range. In all other respects (cockpit, flight control systems, engines), both models are practically the same.
The latest technologies are used in the cockpit: digital displays, by-wire command control system (commands using electrical impulses). To reduce the weight of the liner, high-strength composite materials are used in its construction.
According to the pilots, the aircraft is very reliable. In 2011 at the Pulkovo airport one of the engines of the A319 failed immediately after takeoff. Despite this, the pilots managed to land the plane successfully. In general, for all the years of the existence of this model, there was not a single case of failure of two engines at once.
Airbus A319 has a modification with increased fuel tanks - A319 LR. The flight range of such a model is 8 350 km. The competitor to the A319 LR is the Boeing 737-700ER.

Flight data
One of the most popular Airbus A319 cabin layouts in Russian airlines is for two classes. The number of seats depends on a specific airline and ranges from 116 to 134. Consider, for example, the layout of the Airbus 319 cabin for 128 passengers.
Color marking of places:
- Green are good spots.
- Yellow - places with a lack.
- White is standard seats.
- Pink is bad places.
In the bow of the Airbus A319 there is a "business class" cabin. There are 8 seats located 2-2.
In the "business class" the most comfortable seats: wide seats, a large distance between the rows (from 90 cm), allowing you to recline at a large angle, personalized service. For lunch there is a choice of several hot dishes, a large selection of alcoholic and soft drinks.
Look for cheap tickets for any type of transport without leaving your home:
First row seats are highlighted in yellow. There is a partition in front of them, which can be inconvenient for tall people.
The economy class cabin of the Airbus A319 starts from row 3. On the diagram, these seats are highlighted in green, because there are no other seats in front of this, which means that no one in front will recline their back. In addition, there is more space in front of the seats than in the standard rows.
Emergency exits are located between rows 8 and 9. The seats in the 9th row are very comfortable. In front of them there is an increased space for free access to emergency exits.
Not all passengers are provided with seats near emergency exits. The restriction applies to: passengers with children, disabled people and passengers carrying animals in the aircraft cabin.
In the 8th row, the backrests do not recline, and you cannot put luggage under the chairs in the 9th row.
Seats 21 C, D are inconvenient as they are located in the aisle next to the toilets. The entire flight will be disturbed by passengers passing there.
All seats in the 22nd row do not recline the backrests.
The best places
In order to determine the best seats on the Airbus 319, you need to familiarize yourself with the layout of your airline's aircraft. The best seats have plenty of legroom and the backrests tilt to a comfortable angle.
In the cabin scheme discussed above, such places:
- 3, 9 A B C D E F
Worst places
Areas with a locked back are best avoided. Several hours of sitting, without the ability to relax your back, will make the flight very tiring. Such places in our scheme:
- 8, 22 A B C D E F
In addition, passengers in the 22nd row will be disturbed by people passing to the toilet.
- Porthole Seats: A, F.
- Average seats: B, E (least comfortable seats).
- Aisle Seats: C, D.
- The quieter zone is the nose of the aircraft. Some airlines sell these tickets at a premium rate.
- In the forefront, there is more choice from the proposed lunch options.
- Those sitting in the front rows will be able to get off the plane faster after landing.
- The temperature is slightly lower near the emergency exits, it is better to take a warm jacket with you.
- The area above the wings of the aircraft is the most stable.
- Noise and turbulence are felt more in the tail section.
- If you got an uncomfortable seat, you can change seats after the end of boarding is announced (of course, if there are free seats in the cabin!).
- If you like looking out the window, think before check-in which side the sun will come from (if you are flying during the day). Pick a spot on the opposite side.
- If sitting by the window is important to you, check if your seats are above the wings. In such places, the wings partially cover the panorama.
- Passengers with babies usually fly in the first row (a cradle can be installed there), and passengers with pets in the last.
- People who are tall (from 185 cm) are better off sitting in seats located next to emergency exits.
According to passengers, the Airbus A319 is generally not bad. But due to its small size, turbulence is strongly felt in the cabin. In addition, comfort is very dependent on the pitch of the seats, it is often small on this plane and people of large build and large stature are very uncomfortable.
If you are planning to fly an Airbus A319, be sure to familiarize yourself with the diagram of your airline's aircraft. The seat configuration is always slightly different. We hope our tips will help you choose the best locations. Have a good flight!
Despite the abundance of airliner models that are widely used by various companies today, air carriers still prefer Airbus aircraft. These brainchildren of European designers are ideal for passenger transportation, besides, they are equipped with the most modern electrical equipment and navigation devices.
Of all the models of this company, the Airbus A319 is most often used in Russia. The interior layout of this liner is often found on the Internet in several configuration options. This kind of variability allows aircraft to be deployed on routes of different ranges. Today we will tell you in detail about which the largest airlines in our country use in their activities. You can also find out which seats in the cabin can be considered the best.
General description of the aircraft
"Airbus A319" (we will give a layout of the cabin of several models in the following sections of the article) belongs to the "Airbus A320" family and is the second most popular airliner in the world. This aircraft is shorter than its counterpart by four meters, so the number of passenger seats is reduced. The development of this model began in the early nineties of the last century; the liner made its first flight in 1995. A year later, he received a certificate of conformity and began to be mass-produced.
We can say that it was from this moment that the triumphal march of the Airbus A319 across the planet began. Foreign airlines began to actively purchase it, and gradually this model became the most popular among Russian carriers. At the moment, such aircraft make up the majority of the aircraft fleet of S7 Airlines and Russia. It is noteworthy that all twenty years of using the Airbus A319, design engineers have been constantly modernizing it, and it has not lost its relevance to this day.
Liner modifications
Today there are three modifications of the Airbus A319 on the market. The cabin layout of each model can reveal the differences and similarities between these aircraft.
But experts know that airliners of the same family also differ significantly in technical characteristics:
- The Airbus A319-100 is considered a classic model and can fly almost seven thousand kilometers.
- "Airbus A319LR" refers to more modern aircraft, which are equipped with several and can cover distances of over eight thousand kilometers.
- Airbus A319ACJ was launched as a business-class airliner, in which no more than thirty-nine people can travel up to twelve thousand kilometers.
Recently the Airbus company presented the newest modification of the airliner - Airbus A319 NEO. The aircraft differs from previous models by a different wing structure and updated engines.
Brief technical characteristics
Aircraft of this family are equipped with engines of two modifications, they are manufactured by different factories. About twenty percent of the structure is composite. The airliner is designed for medium-haul routes and has appropriate fuel tanks. Four passenger doors can be seen on the hull. The total capacity of the Airbus A319 (the layout of the cabin confirms this) is one hundred and twenty-four people. However, there are models that can carry up to one hundred and fifty six passengers at a time.
Aeroflot: the layout of the cabin of the Airbus A319
The largest Russian airline is actively using aircraft of this model. Therefore, passengers fly on them quite often and are always interested in which seats are better to choose. In order to clarify this issue, we need a diagram or a photo of the cabin of the Airbus A319 showing the rows and the most comfortable seats for travel. Aeroflot uses two cabin modifications: for one hundred and twenty-four passengers with two types of cabin and for one hundred and fifty-six people, accommodated only in economy class. We will consider a two-class version of the aircraft.
The layout of the “Airbus A319” cabin, given by us, clearly shows which seats can be considered the best. They are marked in green and yellow. The sixth row can be called convenient, but with some restrictions. It will not be possible to stretch freely here, but due to the wall in front, it is quite comfortable to sit. In addition, passengers in this row are the first to receive a hot meal. On the seventh row, the seats have some reclining restrictions, so these seats are suitable for short trips. The eighth row is considered the most comfortable, there is a lot of free legroom, and even a long flight will not cause inconvenience.
S7: layout of the cabin of the Airbus A319
This carrier was one of the first in Russia to start purchasing Airbuses. Today the airline has about twenty aircrafts of classical configuration. They have eight seats in business class and one hundred and twenty in economy. As you can see from the diagram, the best spots are also marked in yellow and green here.
In front of the third row, there is a small curtain separating the salons. Therefore, travelers will have plenty of free space during the flight. Seats in the eighth row are comfortable, but keep in mind that you cannot recline the backrests. Therefore, you should only sit here when your flight will not take more than two hours. The ninth row is the cherished dream of most passengers - there is a lot of space here, and the flight becomes a pleasure.
Rossiya Airlines: the best seats on the plane
Already twenty-six "Airbuses" have in their fleet the air carrier "Russia". The layout of the “Airbus A319” cabin, given below, will tell the airline's passengers where they will fly most comfortably. Please be aware that the airline operates with two types of cabin layouts. The first is identical to the previous version, which is used by S7. But the second is slightly different from its counterpart.
In this modification, the single-class aircraft has been redesigned, so travelers can choose their seats in business and economy. The tenth is considered the most convenient row. It is marked in green. The rest of the places are common and do not deserve a detailed description.
Today Airbus liners are in demand by air carriers in Russia and the CIS countries. A319 is operated by market giants " Aeroflot», « Russia», « S7". To find out the location of seats on the plane, it is advisable to consider a specific modification of the board on which the journey is to be carried out. However, here it will be possible to determine similar features in the layout of the salon when considering a single sample. Let's take the airline board as a standard " Aeroflot».
This model is adapted to cover small and medium distances. An aircraft of this class is capable of flying 6,845 kilometers without refueling.... This value is an excellent indicator for an airliner, the length of which is 33.84 meters with a wingspan of 34.1 meters. The developers released the first A319 board in 1992, and the production of aircraft continues today. Aeroflot has 7 Airbus A319 models on its balance sheet - the layout of the Rossiya cabin is identical to the described modifications, there are 26 such airliners.
On the basis of the main model, the designers developed the production of several modernized samples of this type of board and. Moreover, individual aircraft are capable of covering distances of up to 12,000 km - as an example, we will take the Airbus A319 Corporate Jet. The fuel tanks are enlarged here, and the board can accommodate 39 people. If we compare the aircraft with other modifications, then among the competitors the aviators call the Boeing 717. However, this airliner is no longer produced.
When designing the base model, the designers provided two classes for passengers with a total capacity of 124 seats in the interior layout. Variations of the liners imply a change in the number of passenger seats in the range of 116-156 units. Moreover, the share of comfortable seats is 17%.
In this review, we will consider the Airbus A319 Aeroflot, the layout of the cabin, the best seats and technical parameters of which allow taking 132 passengers on board. Here, the developers took into account the installation of 12 high-comfort seats and the equipment of 120 economy-class seats. We will study the features of the layout of such a side in order to determine which seats are appropriate to book, and what is better to refuse. Let's start with an overview of the general selection rules.
Place search principles
So that the flight does not cause discomfort, it is advisable for airline customers to determine the specific position of the seat. In models of this type, the designers took into account the arrangement of seats according to the 3: 3 scheme in the standard cabin and 2: 2 in the business class compartment. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of places near windows and aisles - after all, it is from this factor that the traveler determines the principal one.
Seats next to the windows allow you to shoot video while traveling or just enjoy the unusual scenery. However, here it is important to consider the need to disturb the neighbor in the chair in order to go to the bathroom or stretch your legs. These seats are suitable for tourists who plan to work or sleep the entire flight.
Armchairs that are installed in the middle of the row are not the best solution for single travelers. There is no "personal" armrest. In addition, during the journey, such passengers are periodically harassed by neighbors on both sides.
Chair block with 11 to 20 rows - standard seats. The negative and positive aspects of choosing such places are not expressed in any way. The only caveat is that the seats that are installed from the 15th line feel more shaking.
Places 21 "C"
and 21 "D"
cannot be called comfortable. These seats are installed at the aisle, and due to the close location of the restrooms, a large number of passengers pass by periodically. Accordingly, it is noisy and crowded here throughout the entire flight. The last, 22nd row is the worst choice. Seats in this line are occupied only in the absence of other options. Here the chairs are not folded out, and the blocks of bathrooms installed behind the seats exclude a calm and quiet flight.
To avoid any discomfort during travel, many tourists follow the airline's instructions to reserve a suitable seat. Let's start with people who prefer. In this situation, during the checkout process, the passenger opens a schematic view of the passenger compartment indicating occupied and free seats. Here it will be possible to examine the installed technical blocks and latrines.
It is advisable for single travelers to refuse to book seats installed in the middle of the row
Try to avoid the proximity of such utility rooms - it is crowded, and constant noise can ruin the experience of the flight. Also, pay attention to the location of the emergency exits. Usually, the seats are near the hatches and the previous line is limited in comfort. Finally, the last row seats in any model liner are the worst seats on board.
For people who prefer to check-in for a flight at the airport, it is appropriate to print in advance a diagram of the board on which the flight is to be made and to consult with the airport staff. Please note that this model assumes a different number of business class seats, so it is appropriate to choose a seat on a specific board.
If you wish to take the "space seats" at the emergency exits, the client checks in directly at the airline counter. In addition to the current restrictions, these seats are considered by the airline to be the best economy seats, so they have a separate surcharge. Finally, for those wishing to choose a menu, it is appropriate to look for a place in the front of the cabin. It is also advisable to sit here for passengers with children.
In the front of the plane, passengers complain less about shaking
As you can see, studying the scheme of the plane on which the traveler will go to the desired corner of the planet is a mandatory stage of pre-flight preparation. Such actions help passengers choose the best seat option and fly with the necessary comfort. Keep in mind that spoiled experiences at the start of your trip cloud your upcoming vacation, so avoid the negative.

The Airbus A319 is the most widely used aircraft today. This Airbus model is used by many airlines to transport passengers around the world. How to choose the best seats for a comfortable flight?
basic information
The aircraft was developed by the Airbus Industry concern. The prototype for the development of the A319 was the Airbus A320. The new model has been shortened with only 120 passenger seats. During development, the aircraft received the designation A320M-7. This was later assigned to the A319.
The first tests of the aircraft date back to 1990, but official development has been underway since 1992. The first copy of the A319 was built in 1995, in the same year it took off for the first time. In 1996 the aircraft received the corresponding flight certificate. The first Airbus A319 was purchased by the Swiss company SwissAir.
A total of 2000 liners of this type have been produced. The cost of one copy is $ 86 million.
Now the plane is operated by most of the world's leading air carriers. Airbuses became part of Aeroflot in 2003. In the same year, Airbus signed an agreement that the production of some of the A319 elements will be carried out in Russia (Irkutsk and Nizhny Novgorod).

Differences from A320
As stated above, the A319 is a modified version of the A320. The differences between them are as follows:
- Shortened fuselage;
- Reducing the number of seats.
The concern also released two modifications of the A319:
- A319ACJ - a business jet capable of carrying 39 passengers in VIP conditions for a range of up to 12,000 km.
- A319LR - modification with an increased flight range up to 8300 km by installing additional fuel tanks.
Interior layout
There are several types of interior design. The aircraft carries a different number of passengers - up to 156 people. Almost all airlines are developing their own scheme. Let's start with the general layout.
Airbus A319 has only one class of service in the standard cabin layout. In this design, the seats located in front and near the emergency exit are the most comfortable seats. However, most airlines choose the Business Class layout.
The backs of the first row seats and those near the emergency exit cannot be reclined!
Built-in airbags add extra comfort to the seats. The backrests are height adjustable. The aircraft has a low noise level compared to other airliners.
Seats from the first to the 5th row belong to the business class. The gap between the seats is more spacious than in the economy. If you choose a place in which there will be the largest legroom, definitely choose the 1st row.
If we talk about economy class, comfortable seats can be called rows 6 to 8 inclusive. The partition in the 6th will, of course, prevent you from stretching your legs, but no one in front will recline the chair. There are mounts for carrying baby carriers. Another advantage - starting with him, they deliver food in the salon.
Row 7 is located near the emergency exit. The seats do not recline, however, in the event of an emergency, passengers are among the first to leave the plane.
In row 8, the seats marked A and F are located next to the escape hatch. The chairs are uncomfortable, tilted, but there is a lot of legroom here.
Places of markingB,C,D and E are the best in economy class. Passengers carrying animals and passengers with children will definitely not be put here.
Tickets for these seats are not sold to people with age and disabilities.
The best places in the company "Russia"
The airline has two layouts for the A319 cabin. In the first version, the layout looks like this.
- The first 2 rows are usually occupied by business class. All seats are comfortable.
- Economy class starts with row 3. Assumes large front leg clearance to septum.
- 8 row. The backrests do not recline, but are located next to the emergency exit.
- The 9th row is a seat of increased comfort. Located near the escape hatch.
This can be clearly seen in the following diagram:
In the second version, the two-class salon was obtained by converting from one class one. The first three rows are occupied by business class. Accordingly, in economic terms, emergency exits are located between the 9th and 10th row. The tenth row has the best seats in this arrangement.
The most uncomfortable seats are at the rear of the cabin, next to the toilets.
From the 1st to the 4th row, inclusive, there is a business class with an increased distance in order to stretch your legs. Economy class starts from the 5th row. There are pluses and minuses here, like all the first rows of the economy. Spaces in the front are more than enough, but the tables are built into the armrests.
The 9th and 10th rows are next to the escape hatches. The tenth is considered the best in the economy class of Czech Airlines.
The best seats "Ural Airlines"
The best among the two business class rows is the second. There is more legroom here.
In economy class, row 3 is the first. There is a curtain at the front that separates the two classes. The passenger can safely stretch their legs forward. Another advantage is that no one will recline the back of the chair from the front. The distribution of food and drinks begins from this row.
In the 8th row, the seats are fixed and do not recline, this is inconvenient, but close to the emergency exit.
The best seats are in the 9th row. Plenty of legroom and an emergency exit nearby.

The A319 is a very popular aircraft belonging to the family of narrow-body medium-range aircraft. The aircraft is considered one of the safest for the entire period of operation. That is why it is very popular for flying. Choosing the best air travel destinations is one of the most important points. It is on the level of comfort in the flight that the whole mood often depends on the rest. It cannot even be said that the A319 is not a basic model, but a modification of the A320, it is so perfect and looks like an “independent” copy of the family.
The Airbus A319 is a modification of the A320 with a reduced number of passenger seats. Therefore, the length of the A319 is shorter than the A320 by almost four meters. This is the main difference between these two Airbus S.A.S models.
The Airbus A319 development program was officially launched in May 1992. Although research on the development of this model was conducted already in 1990. The first flight of the 319th took place on August 25, 1995. In March 1996, the liner received certification. The first buyer of the aircraft was the Swiss air carrier Swissair.
