An all-economy single-aisle three-and-three. These are ex-Spirit airframes reconfigured for the Australian domestic market, working mainly out of Perth across Western Australia plus runs like Perth–Newcastle and Perth–Hobart. Leather seats and personal-device streaming are decent for the fare, but there are no seatback screens. It boards and clears faster than a bigger jet, which counts when you're connecting.
The front rows clear first — the main lever on an all-economy jet. The window exit rows have the extra legroom and are worth grabbing early. Left-side windows often give the better approach views into smaller regional airports, and the cabin is small enough that the service reaches everyone quickly.
The back rows are the ones to skip: right by the rear engines and the single rear lavatory, with the slowest exit once you land. If noise bothers you, the front-to-back gap on an A319 is wider than on a larger aircraft.
The A319 carries fewer passengers than the A320 or A321, making it more commercially suited to thinner regional routes where demand does not justify a larger jet. It also has the range to serve some longer domestic sectors where a turboprop would be impractical.
Exit rows are the best option for legroom. The front few rows of the cabin are also worth considering -- they clear fastest at the destination and sit furthest from the rear lavatories, which matters on longer domestic sectors.
The cabin cross-section is identical -- the same width and three-three economy layout -- so the in-seat experience is the same. The A319 is simply shorter, meaning slightly fewer rows and a quicker boarding and deplaning process end to end.
