More Flights = More Flexibility

But that’s not all. Porter isn’t just adding new destinations – they’re also increasing flight frequency to popular sun spots from Toronto Pearson, Ottawa, and Hamilton. More flights mean more flexibility for your travel dates, making it easier to snag that perfect winter getaway when you need it most.

The Porter Experience Makes All the Difference

Here’s what I love about flying Porter to these sun destinations: the journey is just as enjoyable as the destination itself. Picture this – you’re settling into your seat (no middle seats, by the way!), connecting to their free, fast-streaming WiFi to binge your favourite shows, and enjoying complimentary Canadian beer, wine, and snacks.

And their onboard menu? It’s packed with fresh, delicious meal options that actually make you excited about airplane food. The warm, friendly service just adds to the whole experience, getting your vacation vibes started before you even land.

So if you’re ready to trade winter chills for tropical thrills, Porter’s got you covered with more ways than ever to get to the sun. Time to start planning that escape!
