Porter adds routes to San Diego & Palm Springs

Porter Airlines is bringing non-stop flights to San Diego International Airport (SAN) and Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) from Toronto-Pearson International Airport (YYZ) this December.

San Diego is a year-round route, starting Dec. 9, with four weekly flights. Palm Springs is a winter seasonal service, starting Dec. 12 with three weekly flights.

“Adding these two Southern California centres to our network means there are new options for passengers to enjoy Porter’s genuine onboard hospitality when planning their trips,” said Kevin Jackson, president, Porter Airlines. “Our presence across the continent continues to grow, with a network of flights that provides real competitive choices for travellers.”

Both routes will be operated with the brand-new Embraer E195-E2. Its signature two-by-two configuration means there are no middle seats on any Porter flights. The 132-seat aircraft is also equipped with fast and free WiFi for all passengers.

Priority check-in and boarding, extra legroom seats, premium pre-mixed cocktails and fresh healthy meals are also available with the all-inclusive PorterReserve fares or may be purchased à la carte with PorterClassic fares.

The initial flight schedule is as follows:

All times are local

Passengers can also enjoy seamless connections with Porter’s airline partners. Travel onwards to Europe through Toronto-Pearson with Air Transat, or explore more of the Western U.S. through San Diego and Palm Springs by connecting on Alaska Airlines.

Porter now serves four California cities nonstop from Toronto-Pearson: Los Angeles, Palm Springs, San Diego and San Francisco.
