The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 are located in the rear of the cabin. This is because in the event of an emergency, the aircraft usually impacts the ground nose-first, so passengers in the rear have a higher chance of survival.

In addition, experts recommend choosing seats near the cabin exits as they provide a faster and safer exit in case of evacuation. However, it is worth considering that these seats may be less comfortable due to limited legroom.

If you prefer window or aisle seats, it is better to choose rows in the middle of the cabin as they offer the best views and least amount of vibrations.

Some passengers also prefer seats in the business class, where there is usually more legroom and more comfortable seats. However, it is worth considering that the price of business class tickets may be significantly higher than economy class.

In general, the choice of seats in the Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 aircraft depends on your preferences and needs. However, when choosing a seat, it is worth considering safety recommendations from experts.
