Here are the December DoT numbers for Porter. Hamilton FLL: 2497/3696 = 67.6% MCO: 1573/2244 = 70.1% Combined: 4070/5940 = 68.5% YHM had the lowest load factor when compared to YOW, YUL, YHZ, and YYZ. However, this is the first season for these routes where the others are now in their 2nd...

the only problem is that I think this would close the access for the baggage trucks to access the baggage claim. I flew in on Thursday and it was nice to use the jet bridge. I did notice the jetway hallway didn’t have any heat on so it was shocked when I got a breeze of cool air when I got off...

Will certainly have to. Will wait to see if these Air Transat rumours come to light

Better announce soon! Very curious where they'll attempt to fly to. I'm also shocked they are considering YHM when they have a fortress in Quebec and YYZ. The airport needs to continue to heavily advertise new and existing routes from YHM.

Current Summer 2026 schedule from YHM! As of now, Westjet is slated for 1x daily (same as last summer), except its now an afternoon departure/arrival instead of the night arrival and morning departure. Vancouver frequency cut from 14x weekly to 11x weekly. Comparing Previous Summers Year...

Porter has announced 2 new routes this summer. St. John’s (YYT) - 5x weekly starting May 15th (Wed-Sun) Winnipeg (YWG) - 5x weekly starting May 15th (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat) Porter has announced the following frequency increases over summer. Fort Lauderdale - 2x weekly Halifax - 14x weekly...

I think an AHL farm team for a Canadian team would work. There were quite a few habs fan in the Hamilton area when the Bulldogs were the affiliate of the Canadiens. I think the move to Laval was to help with distance between the farm team and the main team. I feel if the Marlies or the Condors...

CONFIRMED: Bridgeport Islanders relocating to Hamilton this fall.

Words don’t express how disappointed I am At least it’s higher quality I guess.

Jetbridges still not in operation. Florida routes start tomorrow, Mexico starts next week! Decided to dig into some of the load factors for tomorrow since my previous adventure made me curious. based on the available seats on the porter booking website; actual loads may be slightly higher Dec...

My thoughts on the concourse layout: If you’re in the upper bowl or in the lower bowl sections 118-104, your food options are… terrible. I’m kind of suprised they didn’t make a small tunnel to connect the two ends of the street level concourse. It must suck if you’re at the end of it and having...

Discussion with the FA, even the YVR load today was abysmal (45%). Looking at tomorrow, Halifax loads are soft as well. I recall when Flair was flying into YHM, they would have loads under 50% (I enjoyed my poor man’s business class a couple of times), flair even flew YKF-YEG a few times with...

I can only hope these get going soon… Outbound YHM-YEG load is 41 (31%). Spoke with one of the ground crews, states this is the worst time of year for most airlines. Westjet loads also light. There have been some flights that were really bad load factor wise for PD. However, it is the calm...

I try to do as well, I’m fortunately doing okay in this silent recession and can spend the few extra bucks to fly out of Hamilton. However, I do have some family facing budget tightness and will take the $40 savings per person by flying into Toronto and taking the GO bus back. I’m sure this is...

Edmonton and Calgary also down from 6x to 5x weekly from January - March. Had a family member fly in last night from Edmonton, was told by the gate agent there was only 39 passengers on board. I fly out tonight to Edmonton and that seat map is looking…. Grim…. The summer PAX was strong but our...
