Porter Airlines NEW Embraer E195-E2 from Toronto to Vancouver TRIP REPORT 

i paid 216 CAD for a round trip on this route in december last year - thats a pretty unbeatable price, idk

Like I said in the video, paying $216 CAD is around what you would pay for WestJet or Air Canada. I would buy them over Porter because you get two pieces of carry on. Normal round trip pricing for Lynx and Flair can be had most of the time for $100-$150.

Yes, but if you earn VIPorter member points, you can also redeem them like WestJet Dollars and get a lower fare@@OnTimeReports albeit one still should do some comparison shopping on pricing. Porter currently also offers a monthly instalment payment option if you really need it. As far as I know, AC and WS also only allow one personal item and one carry-on luggage in the cabin possibly depending on the fare type purchased. I'm not trying to laud only porter, though my experience with PD was quite good: I had signed up to porter's membership a day before check-in online and received an upgrade at the gate to Reserve class on my first ever flight with them from YVR to YYZ. Membership also allowed for free, continuous WiFi throughout the flight on top of the upgraded/inclusive meal service.

I agree I would also travel Porter over WJ and AC any day of the week. No middle seats, free beer, wine, snacks and wifi.

@@OnTimeReports You cannot get round trip for YYZ - YVR on WJ or AC for 216$. Porter has unbeatable prices for what they provide.

Es muy buen avion , Aerolines Argentinas quiere cambiar los Embraer viejos por estos nuevos.

The combination between a Q400 and an E2 is excellent, a great turboprop that is efficient with a fuel-efficient larger modern regional jet airliner.

That's for you to find out by watching the trip report :)

If you fly Reserve class it's free, if you fly Classic you pay. But snacks and drinks are free!!!🎉🎉

I had to laugh when he said he would fly with Flair or Lynx if he was only taking a personal item. Good luck with that! Lynx Airlines has completely shut down, and Flair just stranded its passengers in Cancun for 3 days, with no proper updates or reimbursements. Passengers were extremely upset and disappointed with Flair, and swore they would never fly with them again!

Same, weird to see these planes without the buzzsaw

There are different fares available. The most affordable ticket is a-La-cart, you can choose if you want to pay for bags, seat selection. Some people do not need this and opt to save the money. There are other packages that cover all the bells and whistles and still come in less expensive than AC. All the fare packages give you free beer, wine, snacks and high speed Wi-Fi. I didn’t understand how great they were until I flew Porter. After that flight I will never choose to fly on another airline if helped.

Literally all Canadian airlines have suffered that. When my flight was cancelled with Porter they worked very quickly to reroute my flight and get me to my destination quickest as possible. They are the best airline, no doubt.
