INV-LGW in a Q400
Have done INV-LGW on the Q400 several times(which flybe operate at weekends on this route during the last few months Sat S2 and Sun S2) and was pleasently suprised. Block time was about 1:40 so a bit slower than the E195 but not noticeably (flybe schedule the sectors for 1:45 anyway). Wasn't as cramped or noisy as I had expected, and as allways the INV based Cabin Crews make the trip enjoyable.
The LGW route is back up to 3x E195 I believe from the start of the Summer timetable as the INV-SOU is going back onto the INV based Q400.
Have also noticed a big improvement in reliability on this route in the last 12 months in terms of punctuality.
Anyway just throwing my tuppence into the arena..
