Trying the new QantasLink Alliance Airlines E190 | What's it like?

Alliance Airlines is acquiring 30 Embraer 190s (E190s) to expand operations in Australia. E190s are regional jets. At least 18 of these aircraft will be flying for Qantas under the QantasLink brand through a wet lease. A wet lease means the aircraft, crew and maintenance are provided by Alliance Airlines. The first three of Alliance Airlines' E190s are based in Adelaide and Darwin flying between Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin. In this video, I take an early morning QantasLink flight, operated by Alliance Airlines, on an E190 to find out what it's like. This flight features a stunning sunrise over the city lights of Adelaide. There are also views of the many wide-body aircraft in storage at Alice Springs. You can read more about Qantas's plans to expand its network with E190s here: https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/qantas-and-jetstar-meet-strong-domestic-demand-with-more-aircraft-flights/ This video features check in, boarding, pushback, taxi, takeoff, climb, refreshment / drink service, cabin announcements, descent, approach, landing, taxi to the gate and deboarding. The E190 featured in this video previously flew for Copa Airlines and seats 94 passengers.
