Airnorth's mid-range regional jet, all-economy two-by-two — no middle seats — on busier routes like Darwin–Alice Springs, Darwin–Townsville and the international Dili service. Rear-mounted engines keep the front quieter, and the jet rides smoother and faster than the turboprops.
Row 1 has bulkhead legroom, and exit-row windows add space. The front rows are quietest and off first, and with two-by-two the only call is window or aisle — left-side windows often have the better approach views into Darwin and the Top End.
The last rows sit closest to the rear engines and the lavatory, and the back congests on a full flight. The mid-cabin rows are a fair compromise between quiet and a quick exit.
No. Airnorth operates the E170 in an all-Economy configuration with no separate Business cabin. All passengers sit in the same two-two layout throughout the aircraft.
The E170 has engines mounted at the tail rather than under the wings, which places the engine noise at the back of the cabin. Passengers in the front rows sit well away from the engines and experience a meaningfully quieter environment.
The E170 has overhead bin space, though the bins are smaller than on an A320 or 737. Full-size rollaboards may need to be gate-checked on full flights. Airnorth operates on routes where checked baggage allowances are standard — check the allowance for your specific fare.
Avoid 18A, 18C, 18D, 18F, 19A, 19C, 19D, 19F (Last row with limited or no recline. Near lavatories. Consider choosing a different seat.)
