ADL to PER on an Embraer190!!!

[Moopere]

I'd take an E190 over a 738 any day.

Really? Thats interesting for me to know - I've not done the E190 yet, I purposely have avoided them because in general I don't tend to like the smaller aircraft, but I am _really_ not a fan of the 73H and have wanted to pop over to ADL from PER for ages.

Anyone got a comment on E190 J class these days?

I can only comment on the hard product as it was an economy only flight where I managed to snare a business seat, however I was in Row 2 in the pair on the right (with a colleague) and it felt identical to the similar seating position in J in 73H.

VA ADL lounge faces opposite to runway, so no good to pass time.
It's after security, 10 being SYD/MEL, PER being 9.50, I would put ADL at 9.77.
Food is samish to all, no variety.
VA ADL has round ready peeled cooked eggs for breakfast and fruits too, peeled and cut ready to eat fruits... good for the health conscious.
Cider is per 355ml bottle, in VA ADL... QP gives cider per glass.

VA ADL is on left, after passing dom security, turn left, and left again.
Compared to trying to find the VA PER lounge, VA ADL is easy to find.
I am assuming you have lounge entry, am on iPod in PER so can't check profiles easily.
Out of VA PER lounge now near gate 20.

A very nice little plane. I prefer to the 737's too.

I do the 190 in J class to NTL a bit. It's fine. Same at the 737 product.

Small plane, but always a nice ride

Why the embraer hate? I far prefer the wee little jet in Y and even in J if travelling solo and I can jag 2A

Exactly what I have 16 June to TSV & return. (2A) spending a week there.

A little off topic, but wait 'til you see the new E190E2 due between 2015-18. New wings, (similar to B787) & new Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines. Fuel saving there & every little drop counts. I only hope that VA buys them.

cheers

Do they have the wireless IFE on the E190 fleet yet?

I was speaking with cabin crew last month and they told me that most of the E190's have been fitted out with IFE but only two operating at the moment.

I am a muppety pooch, to the member that asked about the VA ADL club... and I mentioned checking profiles to see if person mentions VA the Lounge membership, his it compares to VA SYD/MEL the lounge.
Z Class was what I got for the VA Upgrade me auction. That was the one I got for AN upgrade moons ago using points.
100/100 for the 330 arrive in J, or Z for me anyway.
