Seat: 2A
Cabin: Premium Porter (Economy, with some extra legroom and $40 extra per ticket).
Aircraft: Bombardier Dash-8 Q400

We arrived at the Airport on the Complimentary Porter/Air Canada Express bus that takes us to Island Airport. We then get on the ferry, which is the shortest scheduled ferry ride in the world - 400 feet. Once we arrive in the terminal, we go straight through security as we pre-printed our boarding passes. Security took literally 3 minutes. We then got into the lounge, had a drink, almonds, cookies, I did some planespotting, then it was boarding time. The Porter Dash 8s hold 70 people. Our flight to Sudbury was 40 Minutes. In these 40 Minutes, we go a drink from REAL GLASS! and Terra Potato Chips (Look these up - they were good!). Landing was extremely bumpy. At Sudbury, there are no gates, so we get off the plane for a 20 second walk to the terminal and then a 5 second walk through the terminal, and were out. So from landing to getting out of the airport is about 2 Minutes. I was very surprised with the Dash 8, IT STOPPED SO QUICKLY. We touched down and in about 5 seconds we going about 10 MPH.

[i]SUDBURY[/i] is a small-ish city in Northern Ontario. Porter, Bearskin Airlines, and Air Canada Express/Jazz Aviation are the only airlines to serve it. There are 4 Porter flights from the airport daily to Toronto, 10 Bearskin Flights, 2 AC Express/Jazz Aviation flights.

[b][u]I have currently misplaced by Phone with my pictures, once I find it, I will post the pictures, I have about 75.[/u][/b]

*I love Toronto Billy Bishop airport. WAY better then the big airport, Toronto-Pearson (Canada's busiest airport). Pearson you need to arrive 3 hours before flight for a Inter-Ontario flight (Dodgy).*

*I thought Premium Economy was OK, unfortunately there was no Business/First Class...Oh Well.
I'm looking forward to this thread!
THREAD UPDATED! Pictures coming soon!
I heard YTZ was supposed to be an awesome airport!

It is. We've also got Toronto-Pearson, Kitchener-Waterloo Regional Airport (American Airlines, WestJet), Hamilton John C. Munro International Airport (WestJet), and Toronto-Buttonville (No Airlines) and Oshawa Airport (Air Nunavut, Enterprise Air, Air Express Ontario), Which I still all still need to try. They apparently are supposed to be good.
