Skytrans' largest aircraft, all-economy three-and-three on busier routes like Cairns–Horn Island and charters — a proper narrowbody jet, faster, smoother and much quieter than the Dash 8 turboprops, a clear step up for passengers used to those.
The front rows are off first and furthest from the engines, and exit-row seats add legroom where available. On the scenic runs from Cairns, a window looks out over the tropical coast and reef — the left side has the better views flying north along the Queensland coast.
The rear gets engine noise, a slower exit and rear-galley proximity; middle seats are best avoided past an hour; and the rows just in front of the rear lavatory catch door noise and traffic.
The A319's range and payload suit longer thin routes in Queensland where a turboprop would be too slow and a larger jet would fly half-empty. It connects remote and Indigenous communities to Cairns and Townsville more efficiently than smaller types.
No. Skytrans operates the A319 in a single all-economy configuration. Every seat is standard pitch with no designated business or extra-legroom product.
Window seats are on the outer edge of both three-seat blocks. Over the wing the view is partly obscured; rows forward of the wing or behind it give a cleaner perspective outside.
Avoid 25A, 25C, 25D, 25F (Near lavatory (behind)); 25B, 25E (Middle seat near the back of the cabin — limited recline and high traffic area.); 26A, 26B, 26C, 26D, 26E, 26F (Last row with limited or no recline. Near lavatories. Consider choosing a different seat.)
