Oh my.

I'm not normally claustrophobic and have resolved my air travel issues with frequent trips to Texas, but the prospect of taking a Bombardier Q400 for a 2 hour flight to Montana this fall has just given me some serious heebie-jeebies.

The alternative involves transfers on bigger jets that result in twice the travel time at an additional cost. Guess I'm sucking it up.

That IS a ridiculously small plane. I wouldn't want to fly in it either.

Yep, still trying to convince myself to book the flight. Maybe tomorrow lol

If it helps, I've flown more times than I can count on the little turboprops, and most of 'em were smaller capacity than the one you might have to fly on. I actually prefer them to the large jets and I don't know why. They can be a lot bumpier though if it's windy or cloudy, and they're a bit noisier too.

There is something about the propellers that completely freaks me out for some inexplicable reason. Helicopters, no problem. Cessnas, same thing. I'll spend some time when things are less chaotic to figure out why and work on it!
