If you can’t afford to fly first class, knowing which airline offers the best economy experience is invaluable. And Porter Airlines has been highly rated by travelers.
The Canadian budget airline has been awarded the top position in USA Today’s Readers’ Choice Awards for Best Economy Class in the world.
Ranked number one among 10 international airlines, USA Today describes Porter as the “hidden gem” of North American aviation. The ranking, announced on Wednesday, highlights that passengers flying with Porter enjoy “comfortable seating, snacks, and a variety of beverages, including local wine and beer.” Notably, the Toronto-based airline welcomed Air Canada to the “free wine and beer for economy class passengers” club in June.
Porter outperformed major airlines such as Singapore Airlines, American Airlines, and Air New Zealand.
For those looking to experience Porter’s superior economy class, the airline currently offers flights to every province in Canada from its eastern hubs in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal.
Additionally, Porter is rapidly expanding its U.S. flights, now serving six destinations in Florida, four in California, as well as Las Vegas and Phoenix.
These new destinations complement the airline’s long-standing presence in Boston, Chicago, New York, and Washington.
The USA Today Readers’ Choice Awards celebrate excellence across various categories, including travel, food and drink, and entertainment, with all nominations submitted by a panel of experts.
