Emb 175 - kero-stink?

[Commuter]

Has anyone had a strong smell of kerosene in the cabin on Emb 175 shortly after landing? It happened on both of the flights I took on it, so I'm just wondering if Emb 175 is a habitual kero-stinker or not.

...is a habitual kero-stinker or not.

I was on a DJ E170 last month, no issues, actually an impressive little aircraft. And having recently got off a QF Q400, I have come to the realisation that Virgin Blue's new aircraft is in a league so far ahead of Qantas' when it comes to comfort!

I had 4 flights on the E170 in February and March and did not notice any kerosene smells.

Are you sure it wasn't a BAE146 in disguise :?:

Same here - found the E170 to be a great plane

Who was the carrier with the E175 and the kero smell?

Anything could be possible, but it didn't have 4 APUs on wings, so I'd say it wasn't :mrgreen:

LOT. No it wasn't a mistaken smell of vodka!
