Flown by Virgin Australia Regional on Western Australian FIFO and mining routes — all-economy, two-three, with rear-mounted engines — connecting Perth to resource towns like Karratha, Newman and Kalgoorlie. It's being replaced over time by Embraer E190-E2 jets, but still works several routes.
The front rows are the quietest, thanks to the rear engines, and they leave first; row 1 windows have bulkhead legroom. On the two-seat left side every seat is window or aisle, so it beats the three-seat right where the middle sits.
The last rows have limited recline against the rear bulkhead and sit by the lavatory — door noise and queues — and the rows by the rear engines are the loudest. The middle of the three-seat right side is the worst seat here. Given the choice of the Fokker or the new E190-E2 on a route, take the E190-E2 — two-by-two with no middle seat is a real step up.
The Fokker 100 is configured three-two — three seats on one side of the aisle, two on the other. The two-seat side gives every passenger either a window or an aisle, making it the more comfortable side on a full flight.
No. Virgin Australia operates the Fokker 100 in an all-Economy configuration — there is no separate business or premium cabin on this aircraft.
Regional jets like the Fokker 100 fly at lower altitudes than mainline jets on some routes, and their shorter fuselage can make them feel more responsive to turbulence. If turbulence sensitivity is a concern, mid-cabin seats over the wing are the most stable option.
