Regional flexibility
Some regional trips can benefit from turboprop characteristics, depending on airport infrastructure, distance and passenger needs.
Compare the full journey
Travel time, comfort requirements, luggage, schedule and total quoted cost should all be reviewed.
Airport access matters
Available runways and the practical departure and arrival airports can change the alternatives. State the real cities, dates, passengers and baggage rather than assuming that one aircraft category fits every regional route.
Ask for comparable alternatives
If you are considering a jet as well, submit the same itinerary for both categories. Compare complete travel time, included items and total commercial cost, not only flight-hour figures.
