The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Bombardier DHC-8 Q400 are the rows closer to the exits and exit doors. These are usually the first and last rows in the cabin, as well as the rows located in the middle of the cabin, directly in front of the exits.

In addition, the most comfortable seats in the Bombardier DHC-8 Q400 are the window seats, as they provide the best view of the surrounding world and allow you to avoid contact with other passengers when passing through the aisle.

It is also worth considering that seats near the wings are usually noisier due to the engine operation, so if you want to avoid noise, it is better to choose seats in the middle of the cabin.

Finally, if you are traveling with children or need extra legroom, it is advisable to choose seats in the first row, as they usually have more free space.
