Which aircraft seats are the safest and what are the most popular options


No matter how many times we have already travelled by airplane, this question goes through our heads every time we make our seat selection: which one is the safest in case of accident.

According to London's Telegraph in the event of a crash you might help your chances slightly by sitting in economy class, towards the back, with your seat belt fastened, by the window, within a few rows of an emergency exit.

Saying that flying is very safe and 2012 had the lowest accident rate on record for typical passenger planes. Odds of being killed on a single airline flight are just 1 in 4.7 million. Statistics look even better when we look at flying with one of top 39 airlines with the best accident rates which is 1 in 19.8 million. Happy travels!
