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 28–40. 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 6–12, 35 are more than five rows from any exit.

Section	Rows	Crash-study pattern	Seats within 5 rows of an exit
Front	1–13	Higher (front and middle don't differ consistently)	33 of 75
Middle	14–27	Higher (front and middle don't differ consistently)	84 of 84
Rear	28–40	Lower in both studies	70 of 76

How each fact is corroborated

rows 1 40 total 235: seatcompare.ai, seatmap.app, seatmaps.com (235 seats, row 40 last)
missing 1DEF 28A 28F: seatcompare.ai, seatmap.app

exit row pitch 35: seatcompare.ai only
no recline: seatcompare.ai, seatmaps.com (pre-reclined seats)

Where sources disagree

seatmap.app labels row 17 as the exit row and 18–19 as extra legroom; seatcompare.ai and seatmaps.com say 18–19. Using 18–19.
29A/29F: seatmaps.com says row 29 has no window; seatcompare.ai says 'no usable window'. Flagged window_disputed.
