The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Saab 2000 are located in the rear of the cabin, closer to the exit. This is because in the event of an emergency, the aircraft usually gets destroyed in the front, while the rear remains more or less intact. Additionally, the exits are located in the rear of the cabin, allowing for a quick evacuation if necessary.

As for comfort, the most comfortable seats in the Saab 2000 are in the front rows of the cabin, where there is more legroom and no neighbors behind. However, if you prefer peace and quiet, it is better to choose a seat in the middle or rear of the cabin, where the noise from the engines and wind will be less noticeable.
