I followed a link in the Frommer's daily travel newsletter, and thought "Oh cool, I can fly into Toronto Island again."
Not quite yet: it's a brand-new airline, and what they have up so far is Toronto-Ottawa flights. And I've little reason to visit Toronto these days (with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alanro on the other side of the continent, to say nothing of the border). Nonetheless, I am pleased: flights into central Toronto, not Pearson, and a quick ferry ride to downtown and an easy subway connection. Once upon a time (in the 1980s), I could get easy flights from LaGuardia to Toronto Island (which they're referring to as Toronto City Centre, but it's on one of the little harbor islands), and clear customs in about three minutes, because most of the flights were Canadian domestic so customs was never busy. That was on 32-seat propjets, which I was perfectly happy with but some people don't like; Porter Air is using 70-seaters.
