Transwest Air review by Kevin McDougald

14 March 2008   Customer Rating :

A short flight from Regina to Saskatoon in a well-used Beechcraft King Air is certainly a unique experience. In some respects, it's like riding in someone's old car: the seatbelt is difficult to do up, the windows could use replacing, and everything looks a bit worn. Note also that the King Air does not have lavatories on board. However, flying with an airline where the Captain doubles as the baggage handler, a friendly off-duty ground crew member acts as the de facto flight attendant and the passengers have to pass around the complimentary, self-serve coffee gives the flight a human touch that the large corporate airlines lack.
