 A question that nervous airplane passengers sometimes pose is this: What is the safest airplane seat? The reply: NONE. Since crashes can occur at any location within the aircraft.

Some people assume that the nearer you sit at an emergency exit, the better you are. Unfortunately, that is not completely true. As in any location inside the aircraft, a fire may begin near the emergency exit. And if the emergency exit is jammed, the person sitting closest to it is in the same situation as the person sitting farthest from it.

The risks to one's safety is reduced significantly by one thing above all else, regardless of where the passenger is seated inside the aircraft: by being alert and mindful of one's environment.

Being alert means being vigilant and watchful. Notice where all exits are located. Listen to all the procedures for pre-flight and in-flight. Do not have too much to drink. Use common sense and try not to do something that will affect your own safety, as well as that of others, such as carrying too much baggage, spilling hot drinks, being reckless with sharp-edged items or stuff. Use common sense yet again.

Despite the concerns and misgivings surrounding air travel, airplane accidents are uncommon. But if one happens during the flight, staying calm and not panicking are very important for the passenger. Fear is a disease which is extremely infectious. Had the chaos been contained, many deaths in crashes, including those that occurred on land, may have been avoided. Therefore, take a deep breath in the event of an accident, keep the tone of voice down, and follow the line.

There is no such thing as the plane's most secure seat. But if he or she wishes to, any passenger can still make his or her seat the safest one, wherever he or she is seated. After all, building a sense of security within oneself is a game of the mind.
