The most comfortable and safe places on the plane
Like in most commercial aircraft, the safest seats in the British Aerospace BAe 146-200QT/QC are the rows at the front and back of the cabin, as well as the seats near the emergency exits.
In addition, the most comfortable seats may be the ones with extra legroom, which are usually located near the emergency exits or in the front rows. Window seats can also be comfortable, as they offer a view and minimize disturbance from other passengers.
