The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

As a rule, the safest places on an airplane are located in the rear, closer to the tail. This is because in the event of an emergency, the aircraft is prone to tipping forward, so passengers in the tail section have a better chance of survival. However, in the case of the EMBRAER EMB 170 / EMB 190, this is not as critical, as these are small planes that have good maneuverability and control.

As for comfort, the best seats on the EMBRAER EMB 170 / EMB 190 are those next to the exit, as there is more legroom and no neighbor on one side. Also, window seats are usually considered more comfortable, as passengers can lean against the window and sleep without disturbing their neighbors. However, if you frequently need to use the restroom, it is better to choose a seat by the aisle.

In general, choosing a seat on an airplane is an individual choice for each passenger, depending on their preferences and needs.
