Took a flight today from Billings Montana up to Wolf Point Montana. Flight 9K1773.

Airline was Cape Air who operate flights under the Essential Air Services programme in Montana and also in the North East in Massachusetts.

Fare was $35 for a 70 minute flight including baggage.

The aircraft itself was fantastic. Holds 9 passengers with an open cockpit. And massive windows with a high wing means everyone gets a brilliant view.

We had 7 passengers but were advised the flight was 150 pounds overweight. Thankfully a passenger took the offer to fly tomorrow which meant the 6 of us and our baggage made it.

The seats are comfortable, with a large armrest built into the airframe and included a phone charging port. Plenty of leg room as well.

Every passenger and every single piece of luggage is weighed on check in. But be aware of the dimension limits.

I would do this flight again in a heartbeat. If you have the chance it’s a great aircraft to fly in.
