Porter Airlines Makes Coach a Lot Classier

With a philosophy centered on convenience, impeccable service, and luxury amenities, Canada’s Porter Airlines has become the carrier for fliers seeking a business-class experience at a coach-class price—if you’re traveling in the northern part of the continent. The six-year-old company flies to many Canadian and a handful of American destinations, including New York, Chicago, and Burlington, Vt. Porter’s headquarters are at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on a small island directly across from the bustle of downtown. To check in, customers take a short ferry ride.
