The 777-300ER is configured in a three-class arrangement, with business-, economy- and comfort-class cabins. Aeroflot's comfort class has been designed with a focus on price and quality, and includes a number of attractive features such as increased leg room, an upgraded on-board menu, additional baggage room and more Aeroflot Bonus reward miles. This is the sixth aircraft out of an order for sixteen B777 planes.
