The most comfortable and safe places on the plane
Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Boeing 717 are those located closer to the exits and emergency doors. These are usually the seats in the first rows and near the emergency exits. Additionally, seats in the middle of the aircraft are considered safer as they are farther away from the wings where an accident may occur.
As for comfort, each passenger has their own preferences. Some prefer window seats to have a view outside, while others prefer aisle seats for easy access to the restroom and to not disturb their neighbors when getting up.
In general, the most comfortable seats in the Boeing 717 are the ones in the first rows as they usually have more legroom and no seats in front of them where other passengers may be seated. Additionally, economy class seats located in the wider part of the aircraft can be more comfortable as they usually have more legroom and wider seats.
