The first section consists of 3 rows of 3 seats on the starboard side and 3 rows of 2 seats on the portside. Behind these seats are 2 toilets.
The second section consists of 7 rows of 2 seats each - on the starboard as well as portside of the aeroplane. Behind this is the galley.
The third section consists of 2 rows of 2 seats each. Behind this is a room that has a desk and chair and appears to be an office.
