In a cheerful nod to international bonds and business opportunities, San Diego International Airport witnessed the takeoff of Porter Airlines' first nonstop flight to Toronto. The new route, cutting across borders and bringing cities closer, reflects growing ties between Southern California and its neighbor to the north. This milestone made Porter the 18th airline to operate out of SAN and introduced a new way for San Diegans and Canadians to reach each other's stomping grounds.
Flights scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays allow passengers to jet off to Toronto's Pearson International Airport without layovers. The service emphasizes convenience, but it's not just a one-way street. Torontonians looking to escape the cold will find San Diego's beaches just one direct flight away. According to the announcement from San Diego International Airport, seamless connections to European destinations await travelers through Porter's partnership with Air Transat, nodding to the ever-expanding global network that now strings from the sunny Pacific coastline to, well, pretty much anywhere one's heart desires or business calls.
Reflecting on the new service, Kimberly Becker, President and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, said via the San Diego International Airport website, "We welcome Porter Airlines to San Diego International Airport." She captured the spirit of the new route by adding, "We look forward to providing San Diegans more nonstop service to this international, cosmopolitan city known for business, finance, arts, sports, and culture, while giving Torontonians expanded service to our key business sectors and fabulous beaches."
The flights are set to soar aboard the new Embraer E195-E2, a fresh face in the skies that boasts a 132-seat layout where travelers need not grapple with the dreaded middle seat, and thankfully for the Instagram and workaholics alike, each of these airborne chariots is wired with free Wi-Fi for all passengers. In today's digitally driven world, being up in the clouds no longer means disconnecting from the ground; it's a simple, modern luxury that fliers boarding these new flights between San Diego and Toronto can now look forward to enjoying.
