TORONTO — Porter Airlines’ service between Toronto Pearson and LAX has taken flight.
The daily roundtrip flights use Porter’s Embraer E195-E2 jet aircraft, with the 132-seat, all-economy configuration and a two-by-two layout.
Complimentary beer, wine, and premium snacks, plus free, fast WiFi, are available for all passengers. All-inclusive PorterReserve fares offer priority check-in, extra legroom seats, premium pre-mixed cocktails and fresh, healthy meals. These options are also available à la carte to passengers purchasing PorterClassic fares.
“The level of service that Porter provides is something that no other airline offers for economy passengers on this route. Our focus on delivering an elevated economy experience allows passengers to receive celebrity treatment before immersing themselves in the rich cultural scenes of Toronto and Los Angeles,” said Porter’s EVP and CCO, Kevin Jackson.
Porter’s recently announced Alaska Airlines partnership also allows passengers to take advantage of Porter’s presence across Eastern Canada and provides more options to connect through LAX to 11 of Alaska’s U.S. West Coast links, including Portland, San Diego, Seattle and Phoenix.
Zaib Shaikh, Consul General of Canada in Los Angeles, added: “The new direct daily Porter route linking Los Angeles and Toronto will support new business partnerships and help deepen the already extensive people-to-people connections between Canada and Southern California. We are excited to welcome Porter Airlines to Southern California.”
