So, what says you of Porter Reserve? A note for 🇺🇸, Porter partners with jetBlue, so some USA desinations connect with them.

This airline is legit!!! Porter sure has some excellent branding too!

Great airline!

Been debating if I should splurge on Porter Reserve this April when I go to Halifax. This just sealed the deal! Excellent review video!

Ya it's definitely worth it especially if you can score one of their 20% off promos. Keep in mind the inflight menu differs from the E195 and Q400 aircraft. Check porter's website for up to date info! Enjoy Halifax. Never been!

great job

Amazing and detailed review

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

I loved this review, thanks for sharing! I will be trying the YYJ-YYZ route with the family sometime in the future. Really wish them success and continued profits. We need another national carrier, and one that's more JetBlue like here

Nice! You'll have a great time with Porter! I agree! Looks like WJ & AC are restructuring their domestic network with each more focused on west/ east respectively. We'll have to watch and see how this plays out and how Porter positions themself.

Great video! I’m eager to fly Porter for the first time and try Porter Reserve!

Brilliant! I thought it was a nice experience, being able to access the lounge and have a good meal seems good to me, including the wifi (I haven't seen many airlines that offer wifi in this part of the world). Many greetings Andrew!

I knew they were thinking about California, but didn't know they'd settle on an inauguration date yet! I wonder if they'll add more to porter reserve for those longer flights!

Nice video

Thank you for this. Am going to use them one-way to to a quick hop to St. John's in April to see my family. The return I will use a credit with Westjet so it ended up being a nice inexpensive trip. I didn't expect to see a business product and your video confirmed it, but as my flight will be an evening departure, just having access to a couple glasses of wine will be sufficient and the flight is just under three hours.

Porter is the best regional airline.

Porter is fantastic! Just a side note - in “regular” economy passengers get a complimentary wine or beer as well as quality chips + other snacks. Just not a meal. And perhaps not hard alcohol either. I can’t quite remember exactly. No other airlines in canada offers that except montreal - toronto with Air Canada (to i guess try to copy Porter lol).

Your absolutely correct. Meals are available for purchase in the regular economy on their Embraer aircraft. I covered economy on one of their q400s too!

Definitely something to look into. Reserve would be a good choice for a cross country flight.

when do they come out with the 20% off?

Top top luxo❤❤❤

Very well presented video. I think the lack of lounge access answers the question: Porter Reserve is premium economy, not business class. With a standard business class fare on other airlines, most travelers would expect lounge access to be included.

@theglobalpeasant

Ай бұрын

This is true, at least in Canada. Porter Reserve is generally (not always) cheaper than WS or AC bus class. The included food and drinks are quite welcomed. Fun fact, Porter used to have their own "lounge" in YTZ offering complementary snacks and drinks, but this is a thing of the past.

do the regular seats offer water?

Profit before accessibility?

Nice to meet you, thank you very much. Board the plane from the airport terminal. Until I got off the plane. Thank you for your detailed explanation. I understand that. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Please subscribe to the channel.

Looks like Porter Airlines is squared away in regards to there flights...I noticed they do fly to destinations in the U.S. Would luv to see them do a twice weekly flight to Phoenix, Arizona!? 👊

I wouldn't put Phoenix out of the realm of possibilities. As they keep receiving more planes, their network will continuously expand.

Porter changed their policy for support animals. My elder support worker, at my request booked my flight to toronto for specialist care. I found out too late of the change of policy, would have had to chop my dog in half to be allowed on the flight and they had no provision to fly him in cargo because they save that space for able bodied peoples' luggage. I was not able to get a refund.

This is an unfortunate event, but of course I can't speak to the specifics. You can reach out to the airline and perhaps they can give you some answers. I hope you can have more favourable travel experiences in the future.

@@theglobalpeasant Was on the phone with them today. Complete stonewall and dress-down. It looks like they can glean more profit by selling cargo space than accommodating the right to have support animals travel free and this would be their motivation. The "lady" supervisor would not allow me to complete a sentence, refused an escalation. Believe I have internal structural info that they do have the potential.

How does the seat width compare to Westjet?

Indistinguishable from my perspective. Though you tend to get wider seats on wide-body aircraft...so it would depend on which WJ aircraft.
