What is the longest Q400 flight?
Trying to put together some iterations of "longest ______ flight."
What is the longest regularly-scheduled flight in the AC network operated on a Q400?

Reminds me that I tried to stitch together a YYT/YYJ trip all on props on AC. Beech 1900’s and Dashes. There was a great divide between YAM YQT and YWG.
Love me a good Dash. Not enough props out there anymore.

Not really scheduled flights, but my guess is, some flights going to YWK or YYR that get diverted back to origin. Not familiar with flights in the west but I suspect the flights to Fort St. John may get turned back to YVR too.

If you want to count IRROPS this will lose all meaning in a hurry. May as well just assume some hypothetical where a Q400 had to circle for hours in bad weather and then declared an emergency to land immediately at bingo fuel.

I think I've done YQR-YVR (830 miles), but that was years ago.
The other issue here is that the answer to this question could change monthly if the goal is "right now".
