Q Just wondered what your view on Flybe’s planes are? I haven’t travelled with them in ages and I’m not a particular fan of the turboprop. I’m taking a short hop from Belfast City to Leeds Bradford this week.

A Thank you for getting in touch. I am in a good position to compare turboprop versus jet, because five weeks ago I flew back-to-back on two of Flybe’s plane types: the Embraer 195 jet and the Bombardier Q400 turboprop.
