Las Vegas Sign

Porter Airlines is continuing its expansion in the western U.S., with announced jet flights between YYZ and LAS starting next year.

Service will begin March 5, 2024 with Porter’s new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. Outbound flights will depart Toronto at 1 p.m. and land in Vegas at 3:04 p.m. local time. Return flights will leave from Las Vegas at 4 p.m. and arrive at YYZ at 11:16 p.m.

Introductory roundtrip fares start at $346.

“It takes something exceptional to stand out in Vegas, and we intend to do just that by bringing our elevated economy experience to this popular destination,” said Kevin Jackson,  Porter’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer.From the runway to the Strip, passengers start their special getaway the moment they board our aircraft.”

Porter’s Embraer aircraft feature a 132-seat, all-economy, two-by-two configuration, with free Wi-Fi. There are no middle seats on any Porter flight.

A selection of premium snacks, and free beer and wine served in glassware are included for all passengers on this route. Priority check-in, extra legroom seats, premium pre-mixed cocktails, and fresh, healthy meals are also available with the all-inclusive PorterReserve fares or purchased à la carte with PorterClassic fares.

“Canada remains one of our top sources of international visitation, with nearly  one million Canadians travelling to Las Vegas in 2022. The ability to access affordable and convenient flights, like Porter Airlines’ new route from Toronto, is key to ensuring more travellers can experience everything Las Vegas has to offer,” said H. Fletch Brunelle, vice president of marketing for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

Porter recently announced winter flights between YYZ and both LAX and SFO. Flights to Los Angeles will start 16JAN 2024, while service to San Francisco begins 25JAN 2024.
