The higher-capacity E190 — one row less of Business, one more for Economy, on the same airframe and the same regional network, including Sydney–Adelaide and Melbourne–Hobart. Economy is two-by-two with no middle seat; Business is a roomier one-two; and Economy pitch is a touch more generous than the smaller-capacity version, so the extra seats don't make it feel tighter.
Business is a small front cabin, so a paid upgrade or a sensible Business fare is worth watching for. In Economy the bulkhead row and the exit row are the best for stretching out; the row just ahead of the exit has limited recline, so skip it. The two-by-two layout keeps every Economy seat to a window or an aisle.
The back rows catch rear-engine noise and are furthest from the forward lavatories, and the small rear cabin congests on full flights. As on every E190, there's no middle seat to dodge — Economy is two-by-two the length of the cabin.
No — neither cabin has a middle seat. Business is two-one, and Economy is two-two. Every single seat on this aircraft is either a window or an aisle position.
Business on the E190 is a domestic recliner product in a two-one arrangement. The single seat on one side of the aisle gives complete privacy; the two-seat side pairs window and aisle. Service is domestic Qantas Business — a step up from Economy on a short regional hop.
The E190 is a jet, so it cruises higher and smoother than the Q400 turboprop, with noticeably less cabin noise. It also has a slightly wider seat in Economy. For routes where both are an option, most travellers find the E190 the more comfortable ride.
