Just wondering if this is a common thing people do lol. Saw a flight to Ireland was an ATR-72, a prop plane. so I chose another flight and I got an A320 instead

    Not necessarily. Depends a lot of the reason behind your choice. Propeller aircraft are usually slower and more noisy, so if those are your reasons, then that’s fair enough.

    They are, however, generally also smaller and turboprops are great for short flights, so they have their niches.

    I fly both relatively often. My local airport is serviced exclusively by DH Dash-8, so I take those flights to get to the much larger regional airport around an hours hop away.
