TORONTO — Porter Airlines is expanding its VIPorter loyalty program, giving members more ways to earn and redeem points for travel.

For the first time, members can redeem VIPorter points for flights with partner airlines, starting with Air Transat and Alaska Airlines. Over 2,000 routes are now available for reward travel.

This marks the next phase of partnership in the joint venture of Porter and Air Transat, and a deepening of the commercial partnership launched with Alaska in December 2023.

“This next phase of our partnerships with Air Transat and Alaska Airlines gives VIPorter members even more flexibility and choice when planning their travel,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “By expanding redemption options, we’re making it easier for our passengers to maximize the value of their VIPorter points across a growing network of destinations.”

With this update, VIPorter members can now redeem travel across an extensive network of flights sold by Porter. Air Transat offers 1,270 itineraries, connecting 56 destinations across 28 countries in North America, Europe, South America, Africa and the Caribbean. Alaska Airlines provides 1,020 available connections, linking 11 Canadian cities to different U.S. destinations.

Redemption journeys on Air Transat to Europe start at 25,000 points; to the Caribbean at 21,500 points; and to the U.S. with Alaska Airlines at 9,500 points. Redemptions can be made exclusively on flyporter.com and through Porter’s contact centre.
