Seat Map WestJet Dash8 Q400

Family of four thrilled to take their first trip since 2019 and felt confident it was relatively safe at this point in the pandemic. We had flight credits which is why we flew to Quebec city rather than to drive. Easy boarding and lots of available overhead space for carry-on luggage. Be aware seats are very tightly spaced. We are not tall so we had enough leg space. No one in the family is over 5ft 7 inches so we were fine. But you would be cramped if you were over 6 feet or larger than average build. Not a lot of elbow space to share either. We did receive water and pretzels on this flight which was nice. As it was only one hour and 20 minutes we were fine. Noise from propellers was certainly more noticeable then engine on a larger plane. We were right on the wing seats. Nice to see but good to have EarPods to block some noise. No movies or music entertainment options other than what you had on your own device, however this was a short flight so no problem. This was definitely more adventure and better than driving for my family 10 hours to Quebec city.

Rear seats are likely the best on these flights. Quieter than front seats, and closer to the drink carts (first served). I can't see why WJ thinks the front seats are worth the "plus" charge. The overhead bins are not tall enough, so trying to get a roller bag in required some pushing (wheels first helped). Beware the window seats, they have limited legroom due to the curvature of the plane (my legs ached after only a 55 min flight), and the seats seemed more narrow than the WJ 737's (I'm like 'Flat Stanley', so wasn't much of an issue, the thin, single armrest in the middle of the seats was more annoying).

We are traveling together and waited until 24 hrs before our flight to try to pick seats. We were assigned seats 19C and 19D which on the opposite side of the plane. We tried to get seats 16 but when we did after the 24 wait WestJet wanted to charge us $56 so have had to take what was given to us. Will try tomorrow to see if we can sit together. Hope we get better seats on our flight home on a 737.

I have to upgrade to premium in order to be able to choose a seat now? Why?? Customer service slowly sinking into the abyss! Service!? And really seat recline? I hate having someone's face in my lap for 4 hours.

Very pleasant aircraft. We were in front of the engines and had a great view from the windows. Seat cushion was a little hard but ok for a 1hr 45 minute flight. Westjet is great to fly with.

Flight was fine for the short journey.Information messages weren’t easy to understand as they were rushed and garbled.
The staff at the gate were pleasant and helpful.
The gate was a very long walk from my international arrival gate

Flew reverse flight week before. This flight almost two hours into the wind Deicing rules in effect. Too long a flight for this type of plane. But it’s only way WestJet flies from YQT, so there it is.

First time on Prop,this seat was alright great view of the prop.
It was a little loud with a small vibration, but this flight was amazingly smooth.
Hey a bonus is free beer and wine :0)

This was my return trip form Toronto I moved up 2 rows less vibration and not as loud.
Both flights were very smooth, I actually enjoy these Turboprops more then the Airbus.

It's a good seat - the only thing is it's about one up from the propellers and may bother some. It's comfortable and I had enough leg room.
