Much roomer than air Canada! Great flight for the price. No complaints

On my e-boarding pass it shows free wifi, yet the plane I was on didn’t have wifi. Please remove false advertising from your website and boarding passes

As a first time flyer with Porter I was happy with the service and comfort of the airline.

3.5 hr delay for a 1 hr work flight. No information as to why the delay until 20 mins before boarding.

Other than wifi no on board entertainment. Will use them again, roomier seats than other airlines and snacks and beverages, better than average

I like it, but the food isn't good. They need to offer more simple things. This bowls that have so many things your don't know what your are eating. The milenials like it, no the rest. And last but not least, they allowed somebody have a huge dog, vey agressive and fidgety in the flight. That's horrible. No animals should be allowed inside the airplane, what about allergies, etc

Smaller plane. Food and bar service for free is amazing. Drinks were in glass not plastic cups.

The flight was half empty yet they charged me $50 for a basic carry on! I saw how passengers of different colors were treated differently.

Poor landing as we overshot the runway and had to re land the plane. Lost both of my luggage not found as of yet. Had to pay extra money for my luggage in USD, now great my luggage is gone. Will not fly with Porter again.

This flight to St. Johns was really good. Boarding was a breeze. We left spot on time. Seats were actually pretty good. Recliner further than I expected. Three more flights to go we will see if this is the status quo for Porter.👍
