The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats on board the Airbus A318/319/320/321 are located in the rear of the cabin, closer to the emergency exit. This is because during an emergency landing, the front part of the aircraft may sustain more damage, while the rear part remains more intact.

In addition, experts recommend choosing window seats as they provide better protection against potential injuries in case of an accident. It is also advisable to avoid seats near the wings, as they can sustain serious damage in the event of an accident.

If you are afraid of turbulence, it is better to choose seats in the center of the cabin, as turbulence is felt less here. It is also worth avoiding seats near the toilets and galley, as it can be noisier and unpleasant due to odors.

Finally, if you plan to work or watch movies during the flight, it is better to choose seats in business class or economy class with more legroom and comfort.
