Porter Airlines uses propeller planes.
- On a recent trip from New York to Toronto, I decided to try out the boutique Porter Airlines, which has generated some buzz and been named one of the best in North America.
- The flight was moderately priced and extremely easy to book.
- There is no class distinction on Porter, rather travelers can choose what kind of ticket they want to purchase - different ticket levels include different amounts of luggage and ability for seat selection.
- Regardless of ticket type, all travelers get complimentary snacks and beverages during the flight - that includes wine or beer!
- Porter has its own section of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, which is completely separate from the major international airport in the city. It was really convenient to land basically in downtown Toronto, only a short drive from my hotel.
- After going through the $200, hiccup-free flying experience, I would choose Porter every time when possible.
