Yes, comparing similar flight times. In this instance it was a 5:30 pm flight where previously I had got a "supper box" but this time I got a cookie.
interesting...thx.

I'm not at all surprised. What attracted me to Porter originally was that it was a niche upscale airline. Call me elitist but that was the entire point of the airline. You'd breeze in through security, arrive at a quiet terminal and have a free coffee and snacks while you waited for your flight. Boarding would be quick and uneventful with only a couple dozen people at most getting on with you. Once onboard, you'd be served on like a VIP with friendly hostesses with prime level customer service.
Now With Porter wanting to fly to holiday destinations, the entire differentiating point of the airline is being removed. If I want to wait in lines with noisy kids and slow old folks going on vacation, I'll fly out of YYZ. People who support Billy Bishop Airport expansion seem to miss this.

Some aggressive pricing from Air Canada will quickly close that difference.Soon the only advantage they'll have over AC is the $20 UPX fare.
Ah yes, the stunt that made FAA change their fines policy when they realised how pitiful the ones for vandalising runways and stranding parked planes were.
