The most comfortable and safe places on the plane
Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Airbus Industrie A330 are located in the rear of the cabin, closer to the exits. This is because in the event of an emergency, passengers seated closer to the exits have a higher chance of survival and faster evacuation.
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 may be less comfortable due to limited legroom.
If you are traveling with children, it is better to choose seats in the middle of the cabin where engine noise will be less noticeable, which can help children sleep better.
Finally, it is worth considering that seats in business class are usually more comfortable and safe as they are located closer to the exits and provide more legroom and space. However, the cost of business class tickets may be significantly higher than economy class.
