Greater Choices
The agreement will offer Transat and Porter customers a greater choice of connecting flights in Canada, the United States, and abroad.

The deal will allow travelers to combine flight segments on a single ticket, and check baggage only once.

This promising agreement brings together two award-winning, traveller-centric brands whose flight schedules are complementary, and creates great opportunities for customers who are looking for quality and effortless travel. By providing better connectivity, it will not only enhance our destination offering for our Canadian and international customers, but also save them time and make their lives easier.”
