Smallest overall would be the Cessna 152 and the smallest aircraft operation a commercial flight would be the Bell 412, or D228/Metroliner if we're just counting planes.

PA-38 Tomahawk and Cessna 150.
I don't know which is smaller, nor do I know which is less comfortable.

Smallest airliner I've flown on is a Cessna 402 for Cape Air from FLL to EYW. Sat in the co-pilots seat!

The safest place to be in an airplane crash is on the ground.

Piper J3 Cub, can’t get much smaller than that, no electrical system, no radio, hand prop the engine to start. You fly this IFR all the time (I follow roads, railroads, etc.)
