Where are oxygen masks located?

• A. Above passenger service units, lavatories and jumpseats
• B. Under seats
• C. In overhead compartments
• D. In cockpit

Answer: (A)

Oxygen masks are placed where you can reach them quickly: in compartments above each passenger seat, integrated into the ceiling’s passenger service unit. They drop down from there so you can grab a mask and put it on immediately if the cabin loses pressure. That’s why you’ll see them above the seats, and you’ll also find arrangements near lavatories and jumpseats to ensure access for both passengers and crew. Under seats isn’t practical because it slows access and isn’t how the system is designed to deploy. In overhead compartments, bags and luggage protection take priority, and the masks aren’t stored there for quick, direct access. In the cockpit, crew have their own oxygen equipment, not the passenger masks, so that's not where passenger oxygen masks are located.
