The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Airbus A320-200 (Sharklets) are located in the rear of the cabin, closer to the exit. This is because in the event of an emergency, the aircraft usually gets destroyed in the front, so passengers in the rear have a higher chance of survival.

In addition, experts recommend choosing window seats as they provide better protection against potential injuries during an accident. It is also advisable to avoid seats near the exits as they can be noisier and colder due to their proximity to the doors.

Some passengers prefer seats in the middle of the cabin as they offer a smoother flight and less turbulence sensation. However, this does not directly relate to safety.

In general, the choice of seats in the Airbus A320-200 (Sharklets) depends on the passenger's personal preferences and may vary in each specific case.
