Porter Airlines has introduced a new seasonal route connecting Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers.
This marks the only non-stop service between the two locations, offering travelers a direct link to Southwest Florida.
Porter Montreal to Fort Myers Flight

The service begins today, with flights operating up to four times weekly. Departures from Montréal are scheduled at 3:55 p.m., and arrivals in Fort Myers are scheduled at 7:50 p.m.
The return flights leave Fort Myers at 11:35 a.m. and arrive in Montréal at 3:00 p.m. Flights operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and all times are listed as local.
Porter’s Embraer E195-E2 aircraft operates the route, providing an elevated economy experience. The cabin features no middle seats, fast and free Wi-Fi, complimentary beer and wine in glassware, and premium snacks.
Passengers can upgrade to the PorterReserve experience, which includes fresh meals, pre-mixed cocktails, priority check-in, early boarding, and enhanced legroom. These upgrades are also available as add-ons for PorterClassic fares.
In addition to the Montréal-Fort Myers route, Porter offers non-stop flights to Fort Myers from Toronto Pearson.
