TORONTO, Nov. 10, 2023 /CNW/ - Porter Airlines is launching its daily, roundtrip service between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers.
Porter Airlines has a well-earned reputation for providing exceptional service, and the addition of Fort Myers to its list of destinations is part of Porter's North American expansion plan.
Flights between Toronto Pearson and Fort Myers are operated by the state-of-the-art Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. The 132-seat, all-economy aircraft has a two-by-two configuration, which makes Porter the only carrier that can promise passengers no middle seats.
Porter is committed to providing an elevated economy experience for its passengers. Everyone receives free, fast WiFi to stream their preferred platforms and stay connected throughout the entire flight. A selection of premium snacks, and free beer and wine served in glassware are available for everyone onboard.
Extra legroom seats, premium pre-mixed cocktails, and fresh, healthy meals are also available with the all-inclusive PorterReserve fares or can be purchased à la carte with PorterClassic fares.
Fort Myers is one of the new non-stop routes Porter introduced this year to serve the growing number of Canadians eager to travel south. Other routes in Florida include Toronto-Pearson (YYZ) to Tampa (TPA), Orlando (MCO), Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Miami (MIA), and Ottawa (YOW) to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.
