TORONTO — Porter Airlines is adding seasonal roundtrip flights on two new nonstop routes between Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The new YUL-LAX route begins June 27, with four-times weekly service. YUL-SFO begins on June 28, with three-times weekly service. The program ends on October 26. The new routes provide another way to travel between Porter’s extensive Eastern Canada network and the U.S. west coast.

“Passengers can now more easily travel across the continent in style with Porter’s unmatched elevated economy experience. These Montréal routes connect to destinations across the globe with Porter’s strategic partnerships, providing more options that travellers crave,” says Kevin Jackson, President, Porter Airlines

The scheduled service will connect via YUL to Halifax, Toronto-Pearson and Toronto-City, complementing existing daily nonstop service between Toronto Pearson and both Los Angeles and San Francisco. Plus, Porter’s codeshare partnership with Air Transat facilitates connections from YUL throughout Europe, to destinations like Paris, London, Rome and Marseille.

Meanwhile passengers flying into Los Angeles and San Francisco can connect into Porter’s partner Alaska Airlines and its well-established U.S. West Coast network, providing access to markets such as Portland, San Diego, Seattle and Phoenix.
