Porter Airlines launches service to New York LaGuardia

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Porter Airlines is expanding its New York presence with the launch of year-round service between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA).

The addition of LaGuardia further deepens Porter’s commitment to the New York Metropolitan Area, where the airline has operated between Newark Liberty International Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport since 2008.

With up to three daily roundtrip flights between Toronto Pearson and LaGuardia’s new Terminal B, Porter now offers more choice and flexibility for travellers to one of the world’s most in-demand business and leisure destinations.

The flight schedule is as follows:

Route	Departure	Arrival
Toronto Pearson - LaGuardia	7:15 a.m.	8:55 a.m.
	2:50 p.m.	4:30 p.m.
	7:25 p.m.	9:05 p.m.
LaGuardia - Toronto Pearson	6:15 a.m.	7:55 a.m.
	9:55 a.m.	11:35 a.m.
	5:30 p.m.	7:10 p.m.

All times are local

The new route offers U.S. travellers seamless access to Porter’s expanding network of Canadian destinations. With convenient connections through Toronto Pearson, passengers arriving from New York can reach every region of the country, including Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montréal, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Vancouver. Whether it’s enjoying the energy of Toronto or the diverse experiences of Eastern and Western Canada, this route makes Canada more accessible for New Yorkers.

Flights are operated with the Embraer E195-E2. The 132-seat aircraft features a two-by-two seating configuration, meaning no middle seats for any passenger. All travellers enjoy free, fast WiFi, complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, and premium snacks – all part of Porter’s unique all-economy experience.

For those seeking additional amenities, PorterReserve fares include priority check-in, extra legroom and flexible ticketing. These benefits are also available à la carte with PorterClassic fares.

Flights are available for booking at flyporter.com.
