Porter hates Basic fares!
You must spend more money to get your Porter boarding pass in advance. Booked a one-day Ottawa-Toronto return flight (PD2206) with this tightwad airline. After getting a Porter notice to check in online, I got this gem: “Boarding pass pickup at the airport. Your flight is booked in Basic, a restrictive fare. Please see a check-in agent to pick up your boarding pass(es).” Right, Scrooge Port-Air. So, if you book a front-of-the plane seat for more $$$ you then get a boarding pass in advance otherwise you line up in their cattle pen at the airport and wait for an agent. Good to know. This type of info is useful for potential passengers. Unfortunately, Porter does not share it in advance. Porter used to be a class act. They have expanded too quickly and are now laser focused on maximum revenue for minimum service. Pa$$engers beware.
