anyone know more about this aircraft? It is from the look of it a code share with qantas.
Is it a very small aircraft? I guess it is, is it one of those ones they weigh you and has strict luggage allowance? it is a sydney-canberra connection, just wondering if to go on that or the earlier which is a 737. I get a bit weird on very small flights prefer something larger!

The Dash 8-300 is a fine commuterliner. As said above, 50pax, 2-2 for 12 rows all the way back and just the rear facing pair at the front. No 5 abreast on the -300 though, thats a -100/200 "feature".
Its noisier than a jet obviously, but its not that bad. Get a seat near the back if you can. Overhead space is adequate, better than the RJ equivalents.

The DH8 series is my favorite turboprop. On a short flight like Sydney to Canberra, you should be just fine.
I do not believe that Qantas has the DH8-300Q, just the standard DH8-300 so it won't have the NVS.
Also, I believe one of the big advantages of the DH8 series (except the 100) is that it is quite hard to load it up over MTOW with its passenger count. There are sometimes volume issues with the hold, but never usually weight issues.
