The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Fokker 70 are those closest to the exit. These seats are located in the first rows and near the emergency exits. Additionally, window seats are considered safer as they are further away from the center of the aircraft and can provide more space for exit in case of an emergency.

As for comfort, each passenger has their own preferences. Some prefer window seats to have the opportunity to enjoy the views outside, while others prefer aisle seats for easy access to the restroom and to not disturb their neighbors when getting up.

In general, the seats in the Fokker 70 are quite comfortable, but if you have specific comfort requirements, such as being tall or needing extra legroom, it is better to choose seats in the first rows or near the exit.
