Porter increases seasonal service to Canada from TPA

Porter Airlines is taking major steps at TPA to increase seasonal service to Canadian cities, launching new routes this winter to Ottawa and Halifax and increasing service to Toronto (YYZ).

On November 22, Porter is offering up to 4x weekly service from TPA to Ottawa (YOW), Canada’s capital. On December 5, Porter will then begin 3 times weekly flights from TPA to Nova Scotia’s scenic Halifax (YHZ).

These are new routes from the Canadian carrier, which began operating at TPA last year with daily seasonal nonstop flights to Toronto. Porter brought back the route from TPA to Toronto on October 27th, but this year they will double their service to twice daily flights to YYZ starting December 13th.

The airline will operate each of these routes with a 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. One of the bonuses for travelers flying with Porter aboard this aircraft is the seating configuration: each row has a two-by-two arrangement, meaning no passenger will sit in a middle seat. In addition, all flights on board Porter include free Wi-Fi and free beer, wine and premium snacks.
