Avoid row 1 and row 2 (near galley), row 20 (near lavatory), 21A and 21F (no window at this seat position) and 21C, 21D and 21E (immediately adjacent to lavatory).
Being phased out of the QantasLink fleet. This Dutch-built regional jet served regional Australia reliably for decades, but it's old, thirstier than a modern jet, and short on amenities — no seatback screens, limited cabin storage, an older interior. The E190 and Dash 8 Q400 are taking over its routes.
The front rows near the forward exit are the pick for comfort and a quick getaway. Low regional approaches make for decent window views, and the front cabin is quieter, away from the rear-mounted jets.
The back is noisy, cramped and last off, and the aircraft's age shows most in the rear seats; the wing rows pick up structural buzz. If your route offers a newer aircraft, take it.
The Fokker 100 seats passengers three-two: three seats on the left side of the aisle and two on the right. Every seat on the two-seat side is a window or aisle seat with no middle-seat neighbour.
The Fokker 100 has its engines mounted at the tail, so the front of the cabin is noticeably quieter than the rear. Seats in the forward rows also tend to deplane faster after landing.
There are typically emergency exit rows on this aircraft, and those rows offer more legroom than standard rows. Recline may be restricted at exit-row seats, which is the usual trade-off.
