QantasLink E190 (97-seat) · 97 seats
The 97-seat E190 is the higher-capacity variant: 9 Business seats and 88 in Economy. Business runs one row shorter than the 94-seat version -- rows 1-3 instead of 1-4 -- which frees a row for Economy, so this layout carries a few more passengers on the same airframe. Everything else matches: Economy is 2-2 with no middle seat, Business is 1-2, and it works the same regional network, including Sydney-Adelaide and Melbourne-Hobart. Economy is even a touch more generous on pitch than the 94-seat variant, so the extra seats don't make it feel tighter.
Business is rows 1-3 -- a small premium cabin, so a paid upgrade or a sensible business fare is worth watching for. In Economy, row 4 is the bulkhead with extra legroom, and row 11 is the exit row, the best seat for stretching out. Row 10 sits just ahead of the exit and has limited recline, so skip it if you can. The 2-2 Economy layout keeps every seat to a window or an aisle.
Rows 20-25 at the back catch engine noise from the rear-mounted jets and are furthest from the forward lavatories, and the small rear cabin gets congested on full flights. Row 10's recline is restricted by the exit row behind it. As on every E190, there's no middle seat to dodge -- Economy is 2-2 the length of the cabin.
