Porter Airlines goes to Washington

TORONTO/January 11, 2012 Porter Airlines is arriving at Washington Dulles International Airport on April 16. It will be the Canadian carrier's sixth U.S. destination with up to three daily roundtrip flights operating between Dulles and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

"Greater Washington is a region that our passengers have told us is their number one priority for new Porter service," said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. "We expect great interest for both business and leisure trips and look forward to bringing competition to the route."

Porter is known for its exceptional customer service and offering a premium experience at affordable prices. Lounge access in select airports, coffee bars, wine and beer onboard, and extra legroom are just part of the experience that is complimentary for all passengers.

Jack Potter, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said, "We are looking forward to welcoming Porter Airlines to our family of airlines providing extensive international service to the Greater Washington Metropolitan Region. Porter will provide new convenient service to downtown Toronto and throughout Canada for our region. Dulles International Airport is the international gateway not only to Washington, but also to a significant part of the eastern seaboard, and this new air service from this leading Canadian business destination will be a great addition."

Toronto City Airport is among the best urban airports in the world. Its proximity to downtown makes accessing the city simple and convenient.

The weekday schedule is as follows:

departure times departure times

0700 0915

1355 1630

Numerous other Canadian cities in Porter's network can also access Washington by making a simple connection in Toronto.

We love Porter.

It's a great airline to fly. Their sales are usually good too. We recently booked flights from Newark to Toronto for $220/each. Unheard of these days!

I will say that I'm not the biggest fan of the Island Airport because the line to get on/off the ferry can be a bit slow. Took us almost an hour once to check in for a flight back to Newark!
