Jaunted

Porter Airlines knew competition would arrive at their home airport sooner than later, and they’re ready for the challenge. The airline recently opened its second lounge at the airport, which is good news as there had been some reports that their main lounge was getting a little tired.

The new lounge opened late last month and will be for passengers traveling within Canada, as the preexisting lounge will be for those heading to the United States. Things at the new lounge are pretty similar to their first, as access will remain free to all travelers. Expect complimentary coffee, espresso drinks, soft drinks, teas, and plenty of snacks. There’s free WiFi and plenty of iMacs in case you forgot your laptop back at the office. No free adult beverages in the lounge, but those are free once you hit the skies.

We’re rooting for Porter Airlines in their battle at Billy Bishop, and we’re hopeful that they can maintain their high level of service and amenities when facing the deep pockets of Air Canada. Hopefully we’ll even get some flight deals as the two carries begin to battle it out.
