Porter Airlines, a Canada-based carrier, is launching daily service to five Florida destinations next fall with its new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. New services include Toronto Pearson International Airport to Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Miami, Orlando and Tampa; as well as Ottawa International Airport to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. All routes begin with one daily roundtrip flight.
Flights from Toronto to Tampa begin Nov. 1, Toronto-Fort Myers on Nov. 10, Toronto-Orlando on Nov. 21, Ottawa to Orlando on Nov. 21, Toronto to Fort Lauderdale on Nov. 30, Ottawa to Fort Lauderdale on Nov. 30 and Toronto to Miami on Dec. 12.
The new routes are Porter’s first to the US using its 132-seat, all-economy Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. According to the airline, the two-by-two configuration means that Porter is the only airline with no middle seats on every flight.
Porter offers what it calls an “elevated economy experience,” which includes free and fast WiFi, a selection of premium snacks, and free beer and wine served in glassware. Priority check-in, extra legroom seats, premium pre-mixed cocktails, and fresh, healthy meals are also available with the all-inclusive PorterReserve fares or purchased à la carte with PorterClassic fares.
