The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

As a rule, the safest seats on an airplane are located in the rear section, closer to the exit. In the EMBRAER EMB 170 / EMB 175, these can be rows 16-18. It is also recommended to choose seats near the aisle for easier and faster evacuation in case of an emergency. However, if you prefer more legroom, it is better to choose seats near the exits, for example, rows 12-14. In any case, before purchasing a ticket, it is worth checking with the airline which seats are considered the safest and most comfortable in a specific aircraft model.
