Re: Porter Airlines
Porter is what flying used to be like before it got bad over the last just over a decade. Brilliant airline, but yes they are a regional and they'll never have jets as they're not allowed to land at Toronto City Centre.
But damn is it annoying when you're trying to take off yourself and Porter keep coming in to land.
Don't know why Air Canada bother flying out of City Centre other than for pure spite.

Re: Porter Airlines
I flew Porter for the first time yesterday, and I really liked it - wine in glasses, tea in proper cups, lovely staff, plus v.nice root vegetable chips! It was to Montreal so no need for US security checks but it was really very quick and nice to be able to jump in a cab and be home within 30 minutes from landing on the tarmac. We were early for our flight back to TO. and so asked at the gate if we could get on an earlier flight and they changed it no problem, and at no extra cost. The attendant could not have been lovelier. So it is definitely worth just buying the firm fare and taking a chance. Compare that to the Air Canada desk next door where the attendant was verbally berating a passenger about his boarding pass/seat allocation for EVERYONE to hear. Really pleasant.

I'm pleased that Porter fly to Newark several times a day. Billy Bishop airport is within walking distance of our condo...and Newark is only a 30 min drive to where we live in the US.

Re: Porter Airlines
Anyone else get a rather strange email from Porter this morning?
Most odd, and their website is down.
