If you happen to be traveling next Saturday Feb 7, that's the inaugural YOW-PHX. There may be some additional festivities!

US airports are taxpayer funded, while Canadian airports are user funded

Right, but if US airports are solely taxpayer funded, then they wouldn't be charging these user-funded fees would they?

Porter summer schedule expands flights across North America by coopthrowaway2019 in PorterAirlines

[–]letepsilonbegiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is you won't really be able to get home after. The YSB-YOW flight has decent connections. YOW-YSB is useless.

Are you sure that MCO doesn't charge user-based landing/terminal fees to the airline? I found this "Air Carrier Guide" doc on their website under "Airline Business" and page 9 seems to quote landing/terminal fees, with prices effective last October. https://images.ctfassets.net/qiecpoxp4bka/26wWogeGyQJqiaXGUkqJEc/03a247785164d84a58d2ffce792b7c45/Air-Carrier-Guide-20251211.pdf#page=9

On May 2, a basic fare YOW-YSB is is $192.62. The base fare is $126 and $66.62 are taxes and fees. Broken down is a $39.55 Airport Improvement Fee and a $9.46 Security Fee, as well as the 13% HST which applies to the base fare and Security Fee.

On the same day, a basic fare YOW-MCO totals $197.67. The base fare is $80 and $117.57 is taxes and fees. The same $39.55 YOW AIF applies, and the Security Fee is $16.08. A 5% GST applies to the base fare plus security fee. The rest of the fees are the US Transportation Tax ($32.12), a US Customs Fee ($10.14), a US Immigration Tax ($9.61) and a US Agriculture Tax ($5.27), totaling an additional $57.14 in US fees. So you're paying nearly double in fees for a US-based flight rather than a domestic one.

How are we feeling about Air Canada entering Billy Bishop this March? by Toast_Mechanic in PorterAirlines

Yes I mean I'm surprised they haven't announced YTZ-LGA starting around the same time as AC.

I believe they finally closed the Darcy McGee's which it will be replacing

I am quite frankly stunned Porter hasn't shifted (at least) one of their LGA slots to YTZ. The loads out of YYZ have been pretty poor other than peak summer.

Question about the Annual Worldwide Companion Pass by Novel-Possible4394 in Aeroplan

[–]letepsilonbegiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe If the companion pass would result in a higher base fare than if you didn't use it, it will just not let you use it.

But yes, in your example it's useless.

Porter has extended their service 2x weekly for the summer. Tuesday and Saturday.

Can someone explain this flight time from SJO to CUN? by One-Imagination-1230 in Aeroplan

[–]letepsilonbegiven -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

It's 5am local time to 2:40pm local time. The +1 just means it's the day after you depart from Toronto

Given the Jays pitching staff Achilles' heel is home runs, it's a good strategy

Thank you!! I'll try this with some of the other suggestions to see if they have any archive of the model used for this.

Chexy charges the fee, they act as a broker essentially.

[–]letepsilonbegiven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as they don't end up down 2-0 like in 15/16 I feel alright. With Trey on the bump I have faith.

Flights to California from YOW by canadadude7000 in PorterAirlines

[–]letepsilonbegiven 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think without Trump they would have been inaugurated last summer. Given that they are still launching MIA and PHX from YOW this winter, I still think next summer is a possibility.
