Has anyone flown in a Q400 or TurboProp?

[DeletedUser394]

Plenty of jet setters here, so I thought I'd ask.

I don't yet fly often enough to be wholly comfortable with the experience.

Most of my flights have been on 737s and A320s. I can handle those fairly well. Problem is the only options available to me were Turboprops. Closest I've experienced was a short hop on a CRJ and that wasn't too pleasant.

Does anyone here have experience flying in Turboprops, specifically Q400?

I'm somewhat mortified. However, I'll be flying with Horizon, and since founding they have a spotless safety record. That helps with the nerves.

Life's about getting uncomfortable and growing, so I'm going no matter what. I don't plan on boozing up or taking any anxiety meds. I want to be fully present haha.

The flight is just under 2 hours so that's not terrible.
