Avanti Air ATR 72 200 seat review by John Kibbey #30439

Not a bad plane but when approaching Guernsey there was a strong smell of oil in the cabin. The pilot announced that before taxiing to the gate he had to hold the plane and do an engine test. Then for 2 or 3 mins he revved up the engines really loud and this smell was still in the cabin. But it was my first trip in a propeller plane ( apart from light aircraft) and overall it was a good experience. Roomy enough on board. But they are not a cheap airline.
