I love the dash 8 as a pax. Used the aircraft often between Glasgow and Bristol until BA put on the cigar tube Embraers.
Flew Air Nostrum Dash 8 from Lisbon to Malaga couple of weeks back. Pleasure of flying again obvious. Cheery and pretty cabin staff, Cajva in a proper glass - coffee in a proper cup and choice of food and real plates and cuttlery with really good leg room.
My outward leg ws by Iberia AB320 and the MD87. (via Madrid) and like a tin of sardines and have to pay for everything
Dash 8 - Aircraft was clean, quiet and just great!
