Porter Airlines

Would not recommend especially for business travelers. Will not allow you to standby for an earlier flight even if with empty seats. Want to charge $ 100. Makes zero sense. Given the other hassles I don’t see flying them again.
Additionally, do not book Porter or go into Billy Bishop if you are renting a car. Huge hassle.

They give you a drink in a glass. Big whoop !!!
I have NEVER been able to depart/​arrive on time (BOS-​TOR) There is ALWAYS a delay — honestly without a doubt. It’s very frustrating.
The only reason why I’m giving it a 2 and not a 1 is because of the courteous staff.
I continuously tell myself to boycott them, but with my procrastination, every now and then I stumble upon a cheap ticket.

Although the idea of flying out from the island off Toronto on propeller planes may sound romantic there is actually a big negative to that. If you are a serious traveller be aware that neither Billy Bishop airport nor Porter are equipped to fly with a tiny drop of rain or some wind. We got stranded in Boston trying to go back to Toronto — Porter was actually the only company cancelling their flights. And you don’t get any notice ahead of time really. As an added bonus because for them it’s always weather related to landing on the island with that romantic propeller plane, guess what? The extra night you have to stay because you missed your flight is all on you! Very classy! Thank you Porter: will definitely never fly with you ever again!

Porter is my first choice for my annual trips from Boston to Canada. The airport’s proximity to downtown Toronto certainly beats that of Pearson Int’l. The airport lounge is comfortable and offers many free amenities. While you no longer get a free box lunch on the short haul flights, that is not a deal breaker (or maker) for me.
During my last flight to Toronto, the airport was fogged in. We were rerouted to Pearson and provided with free bus service to downtown Toronto and a voucher for the cost of our flight towards a future flight. As I travel to Canada often, it is appreciated. Porter’s service and good prices will keep me coming back.

I traveled through Porter Airline from Boston to Ottawa and back.
Service really turnaround when our flight was cancelled from Tornto to Boston (Due to Weather).
* Good thing they provided us accommodation.
* All other stuff is bad about that cancel flight.
* No cab service or even direction to cab location is provided.
* In a heavy snow storm I have to arrange my own commute at new city/​country.
* Not a great hotel room.
* No food coupons.
We have to manage all of these by myself, after this I submitted all the receipts of expenditure around $ 150/​-​for 24+ hrs stay (except hotel, for me and my wife + baby). So it includes taxi fare both ways (airport to hotel and back), Food etc. and you know what I was paid $ 90 approx. and on top of it when I complained about this no reply for 6+ months and on followup final reply is that is there std.

Flying is again a civilized and enjoyable activity! The lounge in Toronto was a great place to spend time waiting for your flight as there are free hot and cold drinks, snacks and computers for you to surf the net. There a bit of delay but I think overall it was worth the ease of arriving in downtown Toronto, the really nice hostesses and the free food!

Simply the best!!! Early departure early arrival. One and a half hour non stop flight and you get a nice box meal with a beer or glass of wine. The whole thing is complimentary. Oh and while your waiting in the airport before boarding you can have a snack and a complimentary beverage. The crew wear throwback uniforms and are totally polite. The whole experience could not be better.

As good as it gets says it. the previous post is dead on although perhaps not emphasizing how great the terminals are. Amen on the craft brewed beers. Plus the Bathurst trolly stops there. $ 3 Canadian-​exact change required and your up to Queen Street in a flash. Spend the cab fare on craft beers at the Tequila Bookworm!

I fly between Boston and Toronto fairly regularly and Porter tops all else. Porter Airlines, a full service boutique regional carrier operating out of Toronto City Center airport in downtown Toronto provides pleasant, reliable, and safe transportation. Porter flights operate with 70 seat Bombardier Q400 aircraft configured in a single cabin which is surprisingly quiet and comfortable for a flight just over one hour to Toronto. In my experience Porter employees are professional and seem to enjoy their jobs. On-​board passengers are served complimentary beer & wine in real glassware, Starbucks coffee, Tazo tea and other soft drinks. I recommend you try Steam Whistle, a local Toronto beer brewed nearby the City Center airport. Porter flights also feature light meal boxes at meal time consisting of a small sandwich or muffin and yogurt in the morning. While Porter service is wonderful, the best part is you avoid the lengthy and often traffic prone drive from Pearson Airport to downtown when you arrive in Toronto. I can’t say enough great things about Porter and look forward to my Porter flights.
