Porter Grows Hamilton Network With Flights to Tampa & Montego Bay

Porter Airlines is giving travellers in the Greater Hamilton region more ways to escape the Canadian winter, adding two new sun destinations to its growing network from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM).

The airline has launched four weekly flights to Tampa, Florida, joining Orlando and Fort Lauderdale as its third Florida destination from Hamilton.

Nonstop service to Montego Bay, Jamaica, is scheduled to begin Dec. 20, operating twice weekly. Porter will be the only airline offering nonstop flights between Hamilton and Jamaica.

The additions bring Porter’s winter sun network from Hamilton to six destinations across Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean, with more than 800 flights planned for the season:

“The introduction of these two new routes at YHM deepens our commitment to the Greater Hamilton region. We know that access to sun destinations is important for Canadian travellers and this winter Hamiltonians can fly to six sun destinations from their home airport, saving valuable time so that they can start their vacation even sooner,” said Andrew Pierce, vice president, network planning and reporting at Porter, in a press release.

All flights will operate aboard Porter’s 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, featuring a two-by-two seating configuration with no middle seats.

Passengers receive complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, premium snacks and free high-speed Wi-Fi. Fresh meals are included with PorterReserve fares and available for purchase with PorterClassic fares.

Packages combining Porter flights with accommodations, ground transportation and experiences are also available through Transat for Cancun and Puerto Vallarta departures from Hamilton.
