✈️ Ever wondered where the safest seats are on a plane? Aviation guru Gregory Feith has some expert advice! 🌟
Speaking on WIRED’s YouTube channel, this former NTSB air safety investigator spills the beans on the safest spots when flying. 🛫 It’s not just one magic seat, but a few strategic choices: aim for seats over the wings or close to exits at the front or back.
Feith’s top tip? Before take-off, count the rows to the nearest exits in front and behind you—because in an emergency, knowing your escape route can be a lifesaver. 🚪
But what about those Hollywood-style emergencies? In most real incidents, you’ll hear the captain calmly announcing a diversion. Only in serious situations would you hear “brace for impact,” but the crew’s main focus is keeping everyone safe. 🛑
Of course, seat choice isn’t all about safety! If you’re seeking comfort, be mindful of where you sit. As travel experts point out, the back row can be noisy, bumpy, and too close to the loo. Not ideal for a peaceful journey. 😴
Whatever your flight goals, a bit of pre-planning can make all the difference. So where will you sit next time you fly? Safe travels! 🌍💺
