QantasLink acquires 6 more A320s to based in PER due to surge in demand

The normal seats aren't that comfortable much tighter than the ex JQ A320's, the tray table literally sits on your guts and im not even a big guy so seen someone tryig to eat their 'coughpers and salsa meal' and wine and tray table was at an angle - really not ideal the config they have gone for.

I found it quite tricky to work on a 14" laptop compared to my usual flights on QF 737s.

Up close and personal with VH-8NR / Cape Leeuwin at PBO today. Love how close you can get at these regional airports.

Unfortunately my excitement ended when sat on the church pews they’ve installed inside it. Most uncomfortable economy seat I’ve ever sat in.

Frantically googling PBO airport, did I miss anything?

Nope, just sharing a cool photo. The only real news is that Network has started slowly introducing A320/A319’s on the PER/PBO flights to replace the ageing F100’s.

Spotted 2 QF aircraft at XSP, one of which should be A319 VH-8NR which flew in from PER yesterday:

Wi-Fi will be fitted to the QantasLink A319s and A320s.

The A320s will also be fitted with new seats and USB charging ports.

Rollout be completed by early 2027.

The first 3 E190s for Network have also been secured.

About time. With VA putting mainline 737s on most mining routes alongside the E190s, the Network Offer is pretty coughpy in comparison.

Likely at risk of losing contracts to VA due to the rubbish product.

Sounds like the new seat will be an off the shelf basic seat, not the same as seen in the 321/220.

Will be doing the long a319 to Newcastle soon, it will be an extra long flight without wifi.

Good to get charging ports too, given power banks are banned.
