TORONTO — Porter Airlines is adding five Florida destinations to its network, with flights launching in November.
Using its new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, Porter will fly from Toronto Pearson to Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Fort Myers (RSW), Miami (MIA), Orlando (MCO) and Tampa (TPA), as well as from Ottawa (YOW) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Orlando (MCO).
“Canadians are used to flying to Florida, but not like this. Porter’s all-economy onboard service is unmatched by any other carrier in North America. Whether that’s free WiFi, no middle seats, free beer and wine alongside premium snacks, or fresh, healthy food, Porter is challenging the industry’s definition of economy air travel. We believe that time onboard our aircraft is just as important as at the destination,” said Porter’s Executive VP and Chief Commercial Officer, Kevin Jackson.
Here’s a look at launch dates and flight times. All routes will start with one daily, roundtrip flight.
