The Kenya Airways Embraer E190 carries 96 passengers across Business + Economy. Seats are rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 1G, 11C, 11G, 18A, 18C, 18G. Another 14 seats are rated best or good. The map marks 8 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 17A, 17C, 17G, 17J, 31G, 31J. Another 4 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
No. The E190 is laid out four across in a 2-2 configuration, so every seat is either a window or an aisle with no middle seat in the cabin. That is the standout comfort point on this aircraft and a reason some travellers prefer it to a 3-3 narrowbody for a short regional hop.
Yes, a small one at the front. On the E190 business is a modest step up, mainly a wider seat and a quieter forward cabin rather than a full lie-flat or premium meal service, which suits the short sectors the aircraft flies. If the route is brief, the gain over a good economy seat is smaller than on the widebody fleet.
The front rows and any bulkhead position give a touch more room, and because there are no middle seats you are choosing mainly between a window to lean on and an aisle for a fast exit. Seats away from the galley and lavatory at one end of the cabin stay quietest on a full flight.
Quickly, in most cases. The E190 is a small aircraft with a short cabin, so the walk to the forward door is brief from almost any row. If a fast exit is your priority for a connection, a forward aisle seat is the surest bet, but the difference between rows is smaller here than on a larger jet.
