I never liked sitting in line with the prop on a dash 8, something disconcerting about seeing it whirling away right there. Otherwise I always enjoy prop planes though! Good to have new reports again Robin!
When flying on the Dash 8-400, do you always board outdoors? As opposed to the plane being pulled up to a specific gate and board walking through the tunnel? I fly WestJet fairly often, but my upcoming trip is on a Dash 8. From Edmonton to Calgary to then catch my connecting flight on their 787-700 . I would just like to be prepared as it's obviously wintertime. Also, where does everyone's checked luggage go? Doesn't seem like a lot of room for checked bags, let alone carry-on. Thanks I subscribed and wondered if you have a video on flying premium economy in WJ 737-700? Happy New Year! 🎉
I flew Encore about a year and 1/2 ago, YYT to YHZ. You are correct, there is no onboard service on these regional flights, so that’s normal. The aircraft is pretty decent, with limited comforts. I enjoyed the experience. Note: Maybe now, during pandemic times with less travellers , would be a great time for airlines to address the issue of reclining seats.
Great report!
Another nice review Robin. My favourite WS Q400 route is YCD or YVR to YYC in the evening, just fantastic views with the Rockies lit up by the sunset.
Flying over the Rockies is the best!

Enjoyed the editing and work on this video, Robin! Looked like a great day for flying!
Amazing day for flying indeed!

Is the flight from Edmonton to Calgary. Where to where? And what is the flight number?
Already flew on the dash 8 Q400.
I did subscribe I like you channels by the way 👍
Great day for flying! Were the number of passengers limited and seats blocked?
... and yes, don't be either guy!!!
Hahaha exactly! No seat blocking, just low occupancy!
