Flew from Halifax to Toronto with a stop in Ottawa. Once we landed in Ottawa were informed the flight was canceled. Claimed personnel reasons. Doesn’t make sense since we already flew to Ottawa remained on the plane for the continued flight to Toronto.

Tim Hortons in the Terminal would nice, $25 for three coffee and three muffins is a bit steep. Other than that everything was great

Porter was good. However, the Gotogate was misleading. I bought a flexible on Gotogate and that same flexible on porter equated to a basic. I couldn’t even print out a boarding pass. Porter on the other hand should not nickel and dime you on everything. Not to flexible when it comes to helping you. I have TSA which they saw come up but wouldn’t print out.

My first flight was cancelled, the crew could not put me on standby for any subsequent flight the same day, I was rebooked on a flight for the following day which defeated the purpose of my trip. I had to take a taxi to a different airport and buy a new plane ticket, and when I called Porter on the phone they were not helpful in allowing me to file a complaint or request compensation. My return flight was delayed significantly. Overall, poor experience.

Do not book with budgetair.com. They will change your fare ticket and force you to buy more and refuse to help you.

The flight was delayed for more than 2 hrs. The plane was changed and staff couldn’t count people so we had to wait even longer while waiting for take off.

The crew on Porter is always fantastic! However, our plane just did not show up for 2 hours and we were not offered any explanation or compensation. After this delay, we then had to wait for Porter in Toronto to come up with a landing plan, creating further delays and this plan didn't even work because once we got to Toronto we had to circle the airport until we could land because there was another plane on the runway. I know that in travel unexpected things can happen, but I think this could have been handled in a more professional way. Staff on the plane, and in the Island airport were fantastic!

Turbulence meant no beer/beverages on the way to DC. That's fine - but they could have refunded the money they saved from not serving it to passengers instead of just pocketing it.
