The most comfortable and safe places on the plane
Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Sapsan are the rows near the emergency exits, as they provide the greatest accessibility to the exit in case of an emergency. However, these seats may be less comfortable due to limited legroom and the inability to fully recline the seat back.
If you prefer more comfortable seats, it is better to choose the rows in the middle of the aircraft, where engine noise and turbulence will be less noticeable. Additionally, window seats may be more comfortable for those who enjoy observing the views outside.
In any case, when choosing a seat in the Sapsan, it is important to consider individual needs and preferences, as well as follow all instructions and safety regulations to ensure a safe and comfortable flight.
