They stole another plane just to get us there! My Porter Embraer E195-E2 flight to Vancouver

I don’t like delays - heck, does anyone else? So when it came to a delay involving Porter - an airline that I have high regard for - I was slightly surprised how they handled it on a recent flight. Yes, “theft” was involved (watch on to find out more).
But while the bad things that do happen, Porter seemingly has been blazing a trail across Canada with its free WiFi service, cabin service and new jets that provide great comfort to Canadians travelling from East to West. The next question is this: can this airline perform to its best at the busiest time of year (summer) when everyone’s out travelling? Watch this video to find out!

The interesting thing is that before going under Airbus wing, Bombardier, a Canadian company, was Embraer's main competitor. Despite having an problem with the first aircraft, the fact that Porter is heavy into Embraer, only shows how great the E2 project is.

Yeah I remember reading that Porter once had a deal to get the CS300 (A220s) but that fell through because Toronto didn't allow the city airport to extend its runway.

legroom looks impressive, puts some international airlines like qr and ba to shame

[@dexplorer_vids]

Yes, that's true! Although it's a paid upgrade and that's why I got the extra legroom, the regular seats at around 30-31 inches in legroom!

Did you go from Gate B20 YYZ to Gate B20 YVR?

[@Liloshy]

Porter still has 29 dash8, not 27 (2 were offline for maintenance )

Ah? Hard to find good sources of information these days, but thanks!
