Porter Airlines Doubling Capacity for Popular Los Angeles and Las Vegas Routes

Twice-daily flights between Toronto-Pearson start in August

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Porter Airlines is responding to strong demand for its service by doubling capacity on two key routes from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), with additional flexibility now available between YYZ and Los Angeles (LAX) and Las Vegas (LAS). The new schedules come into effect on August 29 for Las Vegas, and September 5 for Los Angeles. This provides passengers with more options to plan their travel, including connecting flight itineraries.

Both routes are served by the brand new Embraer E195-E2. The 132-seat aircraft offers 2-by-2 seating, which means no middle seats for any passengers flying Porter, with fast and free WiFi included for everyone.

There are additional connections available on these routes through Porter and its airline partners. Alaska Airlines offers onward travel across the Western U.S. via LAS and LAX, while Porter’s extensive Eastern Canada network and Air Transat’s many European markets serve eastbound passengers from YYZ.

“Porter has seen tremendous demand for these routes since they were launched earlier this year, and we’re committed to providing our passengers with options to personalize their travel experience,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “Our commitment to providing a superior economy product on every flight is resonating with passengers, who are telling us they love the Porter experience.”

Travelling with Porter means an elevated economy experience that no other North American airline can offer, with no middle seats, free premium snacks and complimentary beer and wine.

Passengers travelling in all-inclusive PorterReserve enjoy fresh, healthy meals, pre-mixed cocktails and dedicated airport check-in, early boarding, enhanced legroom, two checked bags and the ability to change flights without a fee. These options are available à la carte with PorterClassic fares.
