I travelled a lot by plane back when I was working in Luxembourg going back and forth from Italy.
I'll always remember Luxair's tiny Bombardier DHC-8-400 [0], lot of turbulence on those every single time, I guess because they are so small compared to other planes. I had the impression that they could be easily thrown around in the sky, and don't get me started on the noise of those propellers! The combination of the two made it quite the experience.

- dghlsakjg 2y agoThose turboprop planes don't fly as high as turbofan plane. The Dash-8 tops out at around 25-27k ft. compared to ~40k ft. for most modern jetliners. When you are going over the alps, that extra altitude can really help.
