The most dangerous time in a commercial jetliner flight is landing, and that includes taxing to the gate.
Take off is risky too, but somewhat less so.
Cruising on a commercial jetliner is so safe these days that about the only thing one has to worry about during that part of the flight is the extremely remote possibility of being shot down by the government*.
* I say government, because 1. there have been numerous close calls (and some actual shootdowns abroad) over the years, and 2. rocket launchers, such as terror groups have, don't have the precision / range to reach an airliner 5+ miles (in reality the range would have be even further yet adjusting for angle) above the ground.
