MONTREAL — Today marks the inauguration of Porter Airlines’ new nonstop service between Montreal and Nassau, the airline’s first Caribbean route from the Canadian city.

The winter seasonal service departed today from Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL), operating up to three times weekly. The new route complements Porter’s existing Nassau flights from Toronto Pearson and Ottawa, giving travellers access to The Bahamas from three Eastern Canadian hubs and adding flexibility for winter sun travel.

“Launching our first Caribbean flight from Montreal is a great addition for travellers who want more choice and convenience when planning winter travel,” said Andrew Pierce, vice president, network planning and reporting, Porter Airlines. “Passengers can expect Porter’s elevated economy experience, including no middle seats and thoughtful service.”

The Montreal–Nassau route is operated using Porter’s Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, configured with 132 seats in a two-by-two layout with no middle seats. All passengers have access to free, fast WiFi, along with complimentary premium Canadian snacks and beer and wine served in glassware.

Travellers seeking additional comfort and flexibility can opt for PorterReserve fares, which include benefits such as flexible ticketing options, priority airport services and extra legroom seating at the front of the aircraft. PorterReserve customers also receive fresh meals and premium pre-mixed cocktails. These features are also available as optional add-ons for passengers booking PorterClassic fares.

Members of Porter’s VIPorter loyalty program can redeem points on sun destination flights, with one-way redemptions starting at 10,000 points.

Flights are now available for booking.
