The most comfortable and safe places on the plane
Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Airbus A330-900NEO are located in the rear of the cabin, closer to the exits. This is because in case of an emergency, passengers seated closer to the exits have a higher chance of survival and a faster evacuation.
In addition, experts recommend choosing window seats as they provide better protection against potential injuries during an emergency landing. It is also advisable to avoid seats near the exits as they may be less comfortable due to limited legroom.
Some passengers prefer seats in business class or first class as they offer more space and comfort. However, it is worth considering that the price for such seats may be significantly higher than regular seats in economy class.
In general, the choice of seats in the Airbus A330-900NEO depends on the passenger's individual preferences and budget. However, when choosing a seat, it is important to consider safety and comfort factors.
