QantasLink Airbus A319
The QantasLink A319 is an all-economy aircraft with 150 seats in a 3-3 layout. Seat pitch is 31 inches with 18-inch width. These are ex-Spirit Airlines aircraft that QantasLink reconfigured for the Australian domestic market, mainly flying Western Australia routes out of Perth plus services like Perth-Newcastle and Perth-Hobart. The leather seats and personal device streaming are decent for the price, but there's no seatback entertainment. Boarding and deplaning are quicker than on larger aircraft, which matters when you're making connections.
Best Seats on the Qantas A319-100
Rows 1-4 get you off the plane first, which is the main advantage on a 150-seat all-economy aircraft. Seats 12A and 12J (window exit rows) have extra legroom and are worth selecting early. The left side window seats often give you better approach views into smaller regional airports. The cabin is small enough that service reaches everyone quickly, so there's less advantage to sitting up front for food and drinks.
Seats to Avoid
Rows 28-35 are the worst seats on this aircraft. You're right next to the rear engines, the single rear lavatory creates a queue beside your seat, and deplaning takes ages because everyone ahead of you has to clear out first. If noise bothers you, the difference between the front and back of an A319 is more pronounced than on larger aircraft.
