The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the DeHavilland DHC-8 Dash 8-300 are located in the rear of the cabin. This is because in the event of an emergency, the front of the aircraft is more susceptible to impact and potential damage.

In addition, seats near the cabin exits are also considered safe, as passengers will be able to quickly exit the aircraft in the event of an evacuation.

As for comfort, each passenger has their own preferences. Some prefer window seats to enjoy the views outside, while others prefer aisle seats for easy cabin exit.

It is also worth considering that some seats may be noisier or colder, so it is advisable to inquire about this with the airline before choosing a seat.
