If you want to avoid a "small plane" it can usually be done by driving to a larger airport or choosing a different flight time. Small Jets and turboprops have been around for decades now, you should not be shocked about the type of aircraft you will be flying on when one shows up at the gate. |
QFT. I never understood while people hate small planes. It is always the people who have almost no experience with aviation. They think turbo-props and RJ's are more dangerous for absolutely no reason.
