San Diegans can opt for nonstop flights to Toronto by year’s end.
The seasonal flights will travel between San Diego International Airport and Toronto-Pearson Airport on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays beginning Dec. 9 on Canadian provider Porter Airlines.
Flights will depart Toronto at 10:25 a.m. those four days, and take off from San Diego at 2:05 p.m.
With the new additions, San Diego becomes the fourth city in California with nonstop, Porter-served routes to Toronto. The others are Los Angeles, San Francisco and Palm Springs.
“We welcome Porter Airlines to San Diego International Airport,” said Kimberly J. Becker, president and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. She noted that Porter will be the 18th airline to provide service out of Lindbergh Field.
Passengers traveling between the two cities will fly on the new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, equipped with a signature two-by-two configuration and in-flight amenities such as WiFi and extra legroom.
Around 50,000 passengers took connecting flights between Toronto and either Palm Springs or San Diego in 2023, according to Toronto-Pearson chief commercial officer and interim chief operating officer Khalil Lamrabet.
