The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Shorts SD-360 are the rows located closer to the exits and emergency exits. These are usually the first rows and the rows at the end of the cabin.

In addition, 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 overhead compartments.

In general, the choice of seat in an aircraft depends on the individual needs and preferences of each passenger.
