Porter Airlines Expands Seasonal Service with New Routes to Florida from Ottawa
Porter Airlines is offering a convenient winter escape for Ottawa residents looking to head south, with new non-stop flights to Florida. Starting this week, the airline has launched seasonal routes connecting Ottawa to two popular destinations in Florida: Tampa and Fort Myers. This exciting development means travelers can enjoy Florida's famous sunshine and sandy beaches without the hassle of layovers, making it easier than ever to flee the cold Canadian winter.
The new route to Tampa begins today, offering four weekly flights from Ottawa International Airport. The flights will depart on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 4:20 p.m., arriving in Tampa by 7:55 p.m. If you're dreaming of Florida's Gulf Coast, this new non-stop service will surely make your winter getaway more accessible.

In addition to Tampa, Porter is also introducing three weekly flights to Fort Myers, set to start on November 28. These flights will be available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, providing even more flexibility for travelers looking to escape the chill of winter in Ottawa.
Joel Tkach, vice president of business development and marketing at the Ottawa International Airport Authority, emphasized the significance of these new flights, saying, "Florida’s Gulf Coast is popular among Ottawa-Gatineau passengers who plan their escape from our cold winters. We’re thrilled that Porter has added two more options for travelers in their quest for Florida’s warm sunshine and world-renowned sandy beaches."
This expansion comes on the heels of Porter’s recent successful addition of flights to Las Vegas earlier this fall, showing that the airline is working hard to meet the growing demand for direct routes from Ottawa to sunny, vacation-friendly destinations. The flights to Tampa and Fort Myers are expected to be particularly popular during the colder months, offering Canadians an easy way to enjoy a tropical retreat without the long wait times and complicated layovers typically associated with international travel.
For those unfamiliar with Porter’s service, the airline operates its flights with comfortable, modern Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, featuring a two-by-two seating arrangement, ensuring that no passengers are stuck in middle seats. Additionally, all flights offer free Wi-Fi and complimentary beverages, including beer, wine, and premium snacks, making for a smooth and enjoyable journey.
These new routes are a perfect option for Canadians who want to take a quick break from winter, whether for a beach holiday or a visit to family and friends. If you're ready to swap the snow for sunshine, Porter Airlines has made it easy with convenient, non-stop flights from Ottawa to two fantastic Florida destinations. You can book your trip now on their website and start planning your escape to the warmth of Florida's Gulf Coast.
