Porter Airlines is expanding its winter schedule from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM), adding two sun destinations.
Service to Tampa, Florida, began in November, with four weekly flights. Tampa becomes Porter's third Florida destination from Hamilton, joining Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.
Nonstop flights to Montego Bay, Jamaica, will begin December 20, operating twice weekly. Porter will be the only airline offering nonstop service between Hamilton and Jamaica.

“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, Porter Airlines.
In total, Porter plans to operate more than 800 flights to warm-weather destinations from Hamilton this winter.
The airline's peak weekly frequencies include:
Destination | Weekly flights |
|---|
| Fort Lauderdale, Florida | 5 |
| Orlando, Florida | 3 |
| Tampa, Florida | 4 |
| Montego Bay, Jamaica | 2 |
| Cancun, Mexico | 4 |
| Puerto Vallarta, Mexico | 2 |
All flights will be operated using Porter's 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, with two-by-two seating and no middle seats.
Passengers also receive free WiFi and complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, along with premium snacks. Fresh meals are included with PorterReserve fares and available for purchase with PorterClassic fares.
Transat offers packages with Porter flights from Hamilton to Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, combining airfare with accommodations, ground transportation and other travel experiences.
