Is it better to sit near to wing of aeroplane or at the end of the aeroplane?
Regarding safety, although the plane is very unlikely to crash, and usually it’s an all-or-nothing situation with fatalities, the wing may not actually be the safest option. For example, in the Singapore Airlins crash in Taipei, the fuel stored in the wings exploded, and the highest rate of fatality and serious injury was in the area over the wings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sa747… However, while there are isolated cases that can be used to argue that any part of a plane is safe or risky, a Popular Mechanics study showed that statistically it’s safer to be sitting at the rear of the aircraft: http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/… Now, if you’re just talking about noise and comfort levels, your best bet is to consider individual seats which may have their own idiosyncrasies that vary by airline.
