The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the CASA/IPTN CN-212 Aviocar are located in the rear of the cabin as they are closer to the exit in case of an emergency. However, this type of aircraft does not have a class division, so comfortable seats may depend on the passenger's preferences. For example, window seats may be more comfortable for those who enjoy observing the views outside, while aisle seats may be more convenient for those who frequently need to get up during the flight. In any case, before departure, you can request information from the airline about the seat layout in the aircraft and choose the most suitable one for yourself.
