All-economy, single class
Dash 8-400 (Q400)economy76 seats
Read off the airline’s own material, but some detail — often the row numbering — is our own careful work rather than theirs. Treat row-level detail as indicative and check at booking.
Widerøe publishes 78 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 76. Widerøe states 78 seats for the Dash 8-400, and 78 does not divide into whole rows of four. Widerøe's own site could not be reached at all during this research and it publishes no seat map this project can use, so which row is short cannot be placed. This map draws nineteen full rows of four and leaves the remaining two seats off.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
This Widerøe Dash 8-400 holds 78 seats. 78 will not fill whole rows of four, so at least one row is short, and Widerøe's own material could not be reached and no diagram of this aircraft exists in anything we can use. We draw 19 full rows, 76 seats, and leave two off the map rather than invent a short row where none is published.
Worked out from sourced data rather than read directly off a published map.
About this cabin
Widerøe's Dash 8-400 (Q400) in this configuration seats 76 (Y/Y). The seat totals here are confirmed from published airline data; some row-by-row detail is our own careful estimate where the airline doesn't publish it. Widerøe flies only this one cabin layout on the Dash 8-400 (Q400) — no version lottery on this type.
Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 3A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Travelling as a couple | 3A | This row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you. |
| Trying to sleep | 3A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Economy spans rows 1–12 and 14–20 in a 2-2 layout, 30in pitch. Worth avoiding: 20B, 20C, 20A, 20D — seat doesn't recline.

Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 20B | Economy | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 20C | Economy | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 20A | Economy | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 20D | Economy | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (8 seats: 19A, 19B, 19C, and 5 more) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
- High foot traffic (8 seats: 1B, 1C, 2B, and 5 more) — This aisle seat sits right next to a lavatory, galley or exit, so expect a steady stream of people brushing past, especially early and late in the flight.
- No underseat storage (8 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 5 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.
Frequently asked
- How many seats does Widerøe's Dash 8-400 (Q400) have in this configuration?
- 76 seats in total, arranged as Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — Widerøe's fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.
- Is this the only cabin layout Widerøe flies on the Dash 8-400 (Q400)?
- Yes, as far as we can determine — Widerøe flies only this one cabin layout on the Dash 8-400 (Q400). There's no "version lottery" to worry about on this specific type for this airline.
- Which seats should I avoid?
- Seat 20B in Economy is worth avoiding: This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. The full seat map marks every seat we'd steer you away from, with the specific reason for each.
- How confident are you in this seat map?
- This configuration is marked "derived" — the overall configuration confirmed, with some row-level detail worked out from seat counts and layout. See the sources and last-verified date lower on this page.
- Has a real person checked these individual seat scores?
- Not yet for this specific configuration. The scores above come from our rules engine, which reasons from real aircraft geometry, but they aren't marked as human-verified until someone has actually reviewed the unusual ones — see the verification section below for the current status.
