Porter Airlines


I flew Porter Airlines to Halifax in June.  We are flying to Montreal soon and I chose Porter again.  I must say I agree with this article.  The best thing about Porter is there is no middle seat!   We can get 36" legroom for less than Air Canada and WestJet and we not only get free drinks and snacks, we get free wi-fi!  They are based in Eastern Canada but have flights here.  I wish they would continue to grow in the west.

Porter Airlines has won USA Today’s Readers’ Choice Award for the world’s Best Economy Class.

Kevin Jackson, President, Porter Airlines said Porter was ranked #1 out of 20 international airlines. The awards highlight the best of the best in a variety of categories such as travel, food and drink, and things to do, with all nominees submitted by a panel of experts.

“Porter has redefined air travel since 2006 and we are continuing to elevate the economy experience for everyone across North America as we grow our network. Porter is the airline focused on making economy travel better for everyone, and that includes no middle seat on any flight, free beer and wine served in glassware, a selection of complimentary premium snacks, high-quality fresh meal options, plus free streaming WiFi on the E195-E2 for all passengers,” said Jackson.

He added: “This award speaks to the commitment from our team members to provide the highest level of service and genuine hospitality.”

Porter’s expansion, first announced in July 2021, now includes a number of U.S. cities with E195-E2 service out of Pearson Airport and several other gateways. Porter now serves six destinations in Florida, four in California, as well as Las Vegas and Phoenix. Jackson added that these destinations complement Porter’s long-standing presence in Boston, Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.

Porter also flies coast to coast and to every province in Canada from its eastern hubs of Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.
