STS-LAS - Thank you! Dramamine anyone?
I am so happy to get this direct route but really nervous about coming into LAS on a Q400. Turbulence is bad enough on real jet service, I dread what the Q400 will offer. No meals before this flight......
I've had my moments into YYC on a Q4 but I'm sure LAS will be more exciting than I care to experience.

If you want a real fun ride, try out US Express from PHX to PRC or FLG during the summer. Those monsoons make for a rip roarin good time.

- DHC8-400: 538 kg/m2 (at max t/o wight)
- DHC8-200: 303 kg/m2
- 737-700: 483 kg/m2
- CRJ700: 480 kg/m2
So I wouldn't expect it to be all that bad comparatively, perhaps slightly better.

You guys are crazy! I can't stand the original Magic Mountain... and refuse to go on any more roller coasters (parents terrified me when I was younger in Disney World, probably same trip where we were stranded when Mark Air went under... but another story)
