Cabin sections and crash studies

No seat is reliably safest. In two small US studies (37 crashes, 1971–2007), passengers in the rear third of the cabin died less often than those further forward; on this aircraft that is rows 21–29. Results depend heavily on the type of accident, and the FAA says there is no safest seat. The most consistent finding is sitting within about five rows of an exit; rows 18–24 are more than five rows from any exit.

Section	Rows	Crash-study pattern	Seats within 5 rows of an exit
Front	1–9	Higher (front and middle don't differ consistently)	50 of 50
Middle	10–20	Higher (front and middle don't differ consistently)	42 of 60
Rear	21–29	Lower in both studies	30 of 54

Which version will I get?

A flight number alone does not tell you. The aircraft registration does, and it is usually known only close to departure.
