The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other airplane, the safest seats in the An-24 are located in the rear of the cabin, as they are closer to the exit in case of an emergency situation. However, the An-24 has several peculiarities that should be taken into account when choosing a seat:

1. Seats near the cabin exits are the most spacious seats in the airplane, but they can be inconvenient due to the presence of doors that may obstruct the way when exiting the seat.

2. Seats in the middle of the cabin are farther away from the noise and vibrations of the engines, but they can be inconvenient due to the proximity of toilets and the galley.

3. Window seats provide a good view from the window, but they can be inconvenient due to the presence of walls and they may be narrower than other seats.

In general, the choice of seat in the An-24 depends on the passenger's personal preferences. If you want to avoid noise and vibrations, choose seats in the middle of the cabin. If you want a good view from the window, choose window seats. If you want maximum safety, choose seats in the rear of the cabin.
