Kevin Jackson, President at Porter Airlines, said:
Palm Beach International (PBI) is excited to welcome Porter to our destination. Having another travel option to Canada’s busiest airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), offers PBI passengers an easy, convenient way to travel whether they are enjoying a leisurely vacation, visiting family and friends or attending a business meeting.”
Anthony’s Take: I’ve flown Air Canada and WestJet (I compared their Business Class offerings here), but still have yet to try Porter Airlines. It looks like a comfortable ride and I hope to try it soon. These new Florida flights might make that a reality.
