News / Porter adds two new Southern California destinations
Fly to Palm Springs and San Diego from Toronto-Pearson this December
Porter Airlines is bringing its elevated economy service to more of California, launching 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.
When flying Porter, passengers enjoy a level of genuine onboard hospitality unlike any other airline in North America. The elevated economy experience starts with a selection of premium snacks, plus free beer and wine served in glassware included with every ticket, for everyone.
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 flight. The 132-seat aircraft is also equipped with fast and free WiFi for all passengers, offering the freedom to stream, surf the web, and stay in touch from gate to gate.
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:
| Route | Service begins | Departure | Arrival |
|---|---|---|---|
Toronto - San Diego | Dec. 9 | 10:25 a.m. | 1:10 p.m. |
San Diego - Toronto | 2:05 p.m. | 9:50 p.m. | |
Toronto - Palm Springs | Dec. 12 | 10:50 a.m. | 1:11 p.m. |
Palm Springs - Toronto | 2:15 p.m. | 9:50 p.m. |
All times are local
San Diego is California’s beach city, boasting idyllic year-round weather, with diverse coastal, urban and inland neighbourhoods. Between outdoor adventures, vibrant nightlife and a thriving arts and culture scene, there is something for everyone.
Palm Springs is a desert oasis, famous for countless examples of mid-century modern architecture. Explore the playground of the rich and famous, tick off bucket list hikes across the California desert, or enjoy one of the region’s famous music festivals.
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.
