Thursday, January 25, 2024

Porter Airlines has officially initiated daily roundtrip flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport and San Francisco International Airport. Travelers on this route can now enjoy the signature style, care, and charm that Porter is known for.

Porter’s economy class experience offers passengers complimentary beer, wine, and premium snacks. The new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, with 132 seats in a two-by-two configuration, ensures that there are no middle seats on any Porter flight.

In addition to this, all passengers have access to free and fast in-flight Wi-Fi, perfect for staying connected, working, or streaming content. For those seeking an elevated experience, PorterReserve fares include benefits like priority check-in, extra legroom seats, premium pre-mixed cocktails, and fresh, healthy meals. These enhancements are also available individually for PorterClassic passengers.

Through Porter’s recent partnership with Alaska Airlines, travelers can take advantage of a comprehensive Eastern Canada network and seamless connections to Alaska’s well-established U.S. West Coast network, serving 18 destinations such as Portland, San Diego, and Seattle.

This new route complements Porter’s earlier launch of daily roundtrip service between Toronto and Los Angeles this month.
