    Airline Cabin Configuration

    • Airlines tailor aircraft configurations to their target markets, considering factors like leisure vs. business travelers and price sensitivity.
    • Full-service airlines typically offer multiple cabin classes (first, business, premium economy, economy), while low-cost carriers generally have a single class.

    Cabin Classes

    • First Class: Luxurious, with privacy, ample space, comfortable seating. It includes benefits like free limousine service, priority check-in, private lounges, large reclining seats, personalized service, champagne receptions, higher-quality food and beverage, and priority disembarkation.
    • Business Class: Offers more comfort than economy, with larger seats, workstations for work, and rebookable/refundable tickets.
    • Premium Economy Class: Similar to economy but with larger seats and more legroom, often offered on long-haul flights.
    • Economy Class: Most affordable option, with standard seats. Tickets are usually non-changeable and non-refundable.

    Cabin Facilities

    • Galley: Prepared meals are stored and reheated here, often multiple galleys are used on larger aircraft.
    • Lavatories: Installed throughout the cabin for passenger convenience.
    • Flight Attendant Panel (FAP): The central control for the cabin environment, including temperature, lighting, entertainment system, public announcements, and safety.
      • In-Flight Entertainment Control: Allows flight attendants to manage entertainment systems, offering audio/video on demand (AVOD) options.
      • Temperature Control System: Allows adjustments to the cabin temperature.
      • Public Announcement System: Used for internal communication with passengers.
    • Crew Bunk: A resting area for flight attendants on long-haul flights, equipped with beds, blankets, and emergency equipment.
    • Aircraft Exits: Multiple exits are installed for boarding, disembarkation, and emergency evacuation.
    • Triangle Marker: A black triangle marking above windows indicates the best location for visually inspecting the wings.

      • Aisle Seat: Located along the aisle, offering additional legroom and easy access.
