spicejet has scheduled q400 flights from Hyderabad to Gwalior which is approx 1100 miles which is one of the highest ever recorded in q400

Routed YTZ-YOW-YHZ-YYT on Porter back in 2014. Great experience. Also flew TXL-CPH-WAW in 2006 with SAS and between EWR-YTZ on Porter many times. Great plane.

Toronto City Airport (YTZ) - Melbourne, Florida (MLB) & Ottawa (YOW) - Melbourne, Florida (MLB) are very popular routes and some of the longest ones in Canada for the Q-400

I flew a Dash 8 from DCA to Westchester County outside NYC on US Airways back in the day. I was really surprised at the amount of legroom. It was very comfortable for the hour or so ride.

From a passengers point of view the Dash 8 will always give outstanding ride comfort and interior amenities. Flying in a Dash 8 is more like riding in a large airliner. I have flown in them many times in New Zealand and quite often its easy to forget that you are in a small regional plane. They are also a very capable machine from a performance point of view too. I have also had the pleasure of spending a few years working on them as a mechanic in Perth.

used to fly on them quite regularly between Southampton and Manchester with one flight being Southampton to Glasgow (my longest route on this plane) and another from Southampton to Newcastle

Brisbane - Rockhampton in Australia. My woman used the sick bag. Then by boat to Great Keppel Island. Mild to rough waters!. Cheers 🥃

Flown in Dash-8 planes more times than I can count. It’s one of the most reliable turboprop planes in the world

When I lived in Buffalo, NY always preferred the Q400 if I couldn’t get a seat in an A320 operated by JetBlue. Way way better flight experience for 6’+ tall people than the typical CRJ-200 service most other regionals offered. Now I live in Scottsdale, AZ and think the smallest thing I travel on is a E-175. The Dash 8-200 (with US Airways I think?) was also fun because you could have a window and aisle seat and would always board without a jetway but the flight experience on the 400 from recollection was vastly superior.

My first flight in a Q400 was a fam flight. I flew jump seat from CYVR-CYXT-CYVR, then did CYVR-CYYJ-CYVR, all in one day. I've been to quite a few places around Canada since then. I like dispatching Boeings, much better.

The Q400 is remarkably smooth. Its more comfortable to fly on than most jets

Air Canada operates this plane between Vancouver BC and Regina Saskatchewan on occasion

[rossmason]

I flew on the q400 back in 2016 when I went to Southampton.

[EddieMorsVlogs]

The aircraft I have flown the most times this year

[depilot]

Flew from Mombasa to Goma via Nairobi is not a long route but felt rather too long

[Psychphuq]

WAW - RIX flying with LOT Polska is my only experience...
Novel, but very loud when compared to A319, B737, CRJ900 and E190...

[Michael_Livingstone]

1.5ish from YCD to YYC and vise versa. Wish they would put Wi-Fi on them.

As a Norwegian I expected Norway was on this list with Widerøe. Apparantly I was wrong.

Make fighter plane videos as well please!!!
