Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 Reviews

Some years ago I took a flight of LOT and it was horrible experience. I was assigned seat in mid fuse near engines. It was so loud I thought I would be bleeding from ears and vibration was so bad. One couple next front seats from me fricked out and moved elsewhere to empty seats while we were still climbing. Junk, no props anymore. Even free tickets.

Fast turboprop! Not uncomfortable for the short routes it was meant for! This aircraft like all it's kind needs a higher operating ceiling as at 25.000 feet you can still encounter " weather "!

Flew with FlyBe from Hannover (Germany) to Manchester (UK).

I bumped my head entering the aircraft (low door ceiling) but that was the only thing that I disliked about the flight. Smooth, not too noisy (and a pleasantly nostalgic noise, at that) and excellent performance

A thoroughly modern turboprop and a superior passenger experience to the ATR72, in my opinion.

This plane sucks!! It vibrates so much and my lungs/upper back hurt for days after riding in it. It is loud AF too, I had to wear ear plugs. It's super cramped and the bathroom was a joke, it was like 2 inches by inches. That bathroom measurement is an exaggeration to express that it was super small, knees pressed to door small. The bathroom has no sink and just hand sanitizer, wow!!

A very modern turboprop. I have flown on this aircraft twice, and was quite impressed by the level of noise. All aspects of the flight were significantly quieter than any jet I've ever flown on. Legroom feels a lot better, although I'm only 4 ft 10 inches. Even then, the difference in legroom was noticeable. The noise suppression technologies effect is very clear. The 4 abreast layout means you'll always have either a window or aisle seat. Adding to this, turboprops are not older than jets, and they look and are way cooler

I was impressed with the performance of this aircraft on short field take off.

Love the Q400. Probably my favourite plane. Nearly as quick as a jet on short-haul routes, not much noisier (and a more pleasant sound to my ears). Comfortable, good leg room and you still feel like you're flying.

loud, slow, too hot/cold, cramped and very easy prey for turbulence. What's not to love.

Smooth, quiet, impressive performance (especially on take-off), but found the cabin to be a little plain and dreary, kind of like a Beech 1900D.
