The most comfortable and safe places on the plane
Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Boeing 727 Combi are located in the rear section of the cabin. This is because in the event of an emergency, the front part of the aircraft may sustain more damage. Additionally, seats near the cabin exits are also considered safer as passengers will be able to evacuate the aircraft more quickly.
As for comfort, each passenger has their own preferences. Some prefer window seats to enjoy the views outside, while others prefer aisle seats for easier access. It is also worth noting that in the Combi version of the aircraft, part of the cabin is occupied by cargo compartments, so some seats may be less comfortable due to noise and odor.
In general, the choice of seats in the Boeing 727 Combi depends on the individual preferences of the passenger and can be made during ticket booking.
