In UTair's Eurobusiness class, the middle seat is left empty to provide more comfort and a sense of space. Although the seat dimensions in this class are physically similar to those in Economy Class, a quieter cabin environment and different service are offered.

Passengers generally meet their entertainment needs through magazines and newspapers provided on board. Due to the absence of long-haul aircraft, personal screens and advanced entertainment systems are not available. Wi-Fi service is currently in a trial phase on certain aircraft and is usually offered as a paid service. USB and 220V outlets are available in limited numbers on the newly configured Boeing 737 aircraft, but these facilities are less common on ATR-72 aircraft.

UTair - Travel Tips

When traveling with UTair, I recommend making an early reservation to get your ticket at a better price and having flexible travel dates. This allows you to save, especially if you are traveling outside of peak seasons. For seat selection, you might prefer the emergency exit row seats for more legroom. If you want a smooth flight, sitting at the front of the plane can help you experience less turbulence during takeoff and landing. UTair flights are usually operated from large terminals, so make sure to allow enough time to navigate the airport. By planning your time well on connecting flights, you can ensure that you catch your next flight. UTair's mobile app makes it easy to track your flight information and check in online, so I recommend downloading the app before your trip.
