QantasLink E190 (94-seat) · 94 seats
The E190 is a proper regional jet -- faster and quieter than a turboprop, but smaller than a 737. This 94-seat configuration has 10 Business seats and 84 in Economy. Economy is a 2-2 layout with no middle seat, so every seat is a window or an aisle; Business runs a roomier 1-2, a single seat on the A side and a pair on E and F. It flies premium regional routes like Adelaide, Hobart, and Perth connections from major hubs. The jet-powered performance means it cruises higher and faster than the Dash 8, with a pressurised cabin that feels more like a mainline aircraft.
Business is rows 1-4 -- noticeably more legroom and recline than Economy, in a roomier 1-2 layout. In Economy, row 5 is the bulkhead behind Business with extra legroom, and row 11 is the exit row, the pick if you want to stretch out. Skip row 10: it sits just ahead of the exit, so its recline is limited. The 2-2 Economy layout keeps every seat to a window or an aisle, so access is easy the length of the cabin.
Rows 20-25 at the back catch engine noise from the rear-mounted jets and sit furthest from the forward lavatories, and the compact rear cabin gets congested on deplaning. Row 10's recline is restricted by the exit row behind it. There's no middle seat to worry about anywhere on this aircraft -- Economy is 2-2 and Business is 1-2 -- so the column C problem from a 737 or A320 doesn't apply here.
