DALLAS — Porter Airlines (PD) continues to take to the Floridian skies with two new routes to Orlando International Airport (MCO). The PD flights to central Florida depart from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Ottawa International Airport (YOW).
This expansion to Orlando marks the third new Florida destination that PD has added since the beginning of November, following Tampa (TPA) and Fort Myers (RSW). Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Miami (MIA) are next on the list.
Passengers flying on the airline's new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft can expect a high level of service, including free, fast WiFi, a selection of premium snacks, and complimentary beer and wine served in glassware.
Porter offers additional amenities and services for passengers who choose the all-inclusive Porter Reserve fares, such as priority check-in, extra legroom seats, premium pre-mixed cocktails, and fresh, healthy meals. These options are also available à la carte with Porter Classic fares.
