The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Saab SF340A/340B 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, it all depends on the passenger's preferences. Some people prefer window seats to enjoy the view during the flight, while others prefer aisle seats for easy access to exit the aircraft. It's also worth considering that some areas of the cabin may be noisier or more cramped than others. Therefore, it's better to study the cabin layout in advance and choose the most suitable seat for oneself.
