Frequently asked

Is the Dash 8 Q400 very loud inside?

Older Dash 8 variants had a reputation for propeller noise, but the Q400 includes an active noise-reduction system in the cabin. It's still louder than a jet, though more manageable than travellers who've been on earlier turboprops might expect. Ear plugs or noise-cancelling headphones are useful on longer Q400 sectors.

Does the Q400 have overhead bins for carry-on bags?

Yes, but the bins are smaller than on mainline jets. Full-size rollaboards may need to be gate-checked, particularly on full flights. Smaller bags and personal items fit comfortably.

Are there any premium seats on Air Canada's Dash 8 Q400?

The Q400 typically operates in a single all-Economy configuration on Air Canada. There is no Business cabin on this aircraft type — all passengers are in the same two-two Economy layout.
