Porter launches daily flights between Toronto & Tampa, Florida

Porter Airlines on Wednesday (Nov. 1) launches daily, roundtrip service between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Tampa (TPA). 

This is the first U.S. route operated by any airline with the Embraer E195-E2, Porter's new 132-seat aircraft with a two-by-two configuration (which means no middle seat). 

Porter’s passenger experience also includes free, Wi-Fi, 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 for purchase à la carte with PorterClassic fares. 

The flight schedule and respective start dates are as follows:

“Canadians represent the largest group of international travellers to Florida, and now they can choose to fly with the only airline that emphasizes style, care and charm in every aspect of the flight experience. With Porter, your vacation begins as soon as you step inside the aircraft," said Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Porter, in a statement. 

Tampa is the first of five destinations and seven routes that Porter is starting across Florida this fall. 

Service includes Toronto Pearson to Tampa, Fort Myers (RSW), Orlando (MCO), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and Miami (MIA); as well as Ottawa International Airport (YOW) to Fort Lauderdale  and Orlando.
