Porter Airlines, based in Toronto, has announced plans to expand its operations by adding flights to New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA). The airline will commence this new service on May 1, with up to three daily round-trip flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and LGA. Previously, Porter exclusively served Newark as its only New York City metro area destination.
Flights from LaGuardia will operate out of Terminal B, providing passengers access to premium departure lounges such as the American Express Centurion Lounge and Chase's Sapphire Lounge by The Club. The schedule is designed for convenient connections through YYZ to Porter's domestic network in Canada, including cities like Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Vancouver.
The airline will use its new 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft for the route. This model features a 2-2 seating configuration and offers free Wi-Fi. Onboard services include an assortment of premium snacks and complimentary beer and wine served in glassware.
