The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Bombardier DHC-8-300 are located in the rear of the cabin. This is because in the event of an emergency, the aircraft usually impacts the ground nose-first, so passengers in the rear have a higher chance of survival.

In addition, the most comfortable seats in the Bombardier DHC-8-300 are usually found in the first rows, as they typically have more legroom and no neighbors on the right or left. However, these seats may be occupied by passengers with limited mobility or children.

It is also worth considering that seats near the cabin exits are the most spacious, but may be less safe in the event of an accident, as passengers seated next to the exits are required to assist other passengers in evacuating the aircraft.

In general, the choice of seats in the Bombardier DHC-8-300 depends on the passenger's individual preferences and the situation on board. In any case, it is advisable to consult with the airline staff before the flight.
