Tips for booking Porter Airlines flights
Porter's Toronto Billy Bishop airport is on Toronto Island, a short ferry or tunnel ride from downtown. It's significantly more convenient than Toronto Pearson (YYZ) for downtown Toronto travelers — factor in ground transport savings when comparing fares.
Unlike most North American carriers, Porter includes complimentary snacks, beer, wine, and soft drinks on all flights — a notable value add on short-haul routes where other carriers charge for everything.
On Toronto–U.S. Northeast routes, Porter often competes directly with Air Canada from Pearson. Porter's downtown airport location and included amenities can make it the better overall value even when the base fare is slightly higher.
