    I never heard of Porter before this and it's cool seeing how this small airline somehow manages to compete well with bigger Canadian airlines
  • @JRG72
    I love these these because he’s so relatable. Not flying on Emirates first class that 99% of people can’t afford.

    I have flown Porter from Toronto to Northern Ontario on several business trips. It's a great airline for service and hospitality. They are so much better than Air Canada and will give Westjet a run for their business. I am thrilled that they are now flying to Las Vegas even though it is out of Toronto Pearson airport. I look forward to flying Porter again soon.

    Glad you enjoyed the flight! I'm a Dash 8 pilot at Porter :)
  • Porter is amazing. My mom flew on them and said the flight was really good. Her favourite part was the glass cups. Also, she said the landing was a “butter landing” and she said “ it was such a smooth landing, I thought we didn’t land!”

    Flew Porter from Wash/Dulles to Billy Bishop to take in a ball game at the Rogers Center. Five minutes to get through customs. Less than five minutes on the moving walkways thru the tunnel. And maybe ten minute walk to the ballpark and to our seats. Unbelievably convenient, and - as a plus - we flew over Niagra Falls and had a great view!
  • My wife and I always fly Porter Airlines to Toronto from our home town in northern Ontario. Great airline
  • @Random_Eebs
    Porter is Fr a w Airline and I can see they’re putting in a lot of care and attention to detail with their product. Great video bro (btw the turboprop view is so good🤩)
  • @Roboseal2
    They also Operate the fancy and quiet new Embraer E-2 which actually is pretty comfortable and the services are great. Also those PW150A engines sound amazing especially when the props make that unique sound on taxi.
  • Seems to me like Porter is a very underrated and under appreciated airline!

    It’s always a good day when Ice711 uploads

    Porter has been our preferred small carrier out of Northern Ontario for a few years now . Thanks for sharing your video with us . Congratulations Porter on your expansion ,keep up the good work
  • I went on an American Airlines Airbus A321 a year ago from Pennsylvania to Florida. I love flying on planes!
  • @neondeon475
    This is the best airline in Canada. The only airline who does not rip off the customer! The only airline still practicing good faith in service without a fight! Ie: cancellations and refunds! And free snacks with wine!!!! Fly the new embraer jets at Porter! INCREDIBLE!!!!! Will never fly other airlines again!
  • @ColtStone
    I love the Dash 8! It's a little cramped even for a skinny guy like me, but it's a rock-solid airframe with an awesome safety record. I took one via WestJet from Regina to Calgary last year, and I was a little underwhelmed at first. However, when I returned a month later, it happened to be on the same plane, and it was like being reunited with an old friend.
  • @foxaviationtime
    Its sad that not many airlines use the -8 anymore but cool to see porter making use of them! (that turboprop sound is something else)
  • @Buses4life_6
    I loved the plane spotting and above the storm was beautiful
  • @Edward_242
    I've flown this airline out of Toronto many times in the past 10 years and they're amazing.
  • @sh4dic___
