there little Q400's cant quite make it to Mexico on one tank...
They might be able to make Cancun from Windsor, although it would be a long flight. They could almost certainly do it with only one stop from any of their other airports. EDIT: They might even be able to sell tickets in both directions at their stop if it is in the U.S. I think we would see Bermuda before Mexico, though.there little Q400's cant quite make it to Mexico on one tank...
Resort destinations to be promoted include Myrtle Beach, S.C., Mont Tremblant, Que., and Burlington in Vermont.

Cabotage restrictions ("Eighth Freedom") prevent you from picking someone up in the US and transporting them to another destination within the US (you can only do this if the passenger originated in Canada or will eventually end up there). Picking someone up in the US and taking them to a 3rd country is the "fifth freedom right" (as long as the flight originates or end in Canada).I think cabotage restrictions mean that code-sharing is the only way they could pick up passengers in the US en route to a 3rd country.
I'm not sure that Mexico allows this though. I can't seem to find the text of the latest agreement we signed with them. (http://news.gc.ca/web/article-eng.do?nid=616219)In addition to/ in conjunction with the exercise of traffic rights granted in the agreement, carriers may serve points in third countries with fifth freedom rights.
Wait why is this a discussion on if Porter can fly to the Caribbean from the island. The press release, as I read it, stated that they would focus on "touristy" services in areas they already fly to. I read that to mean that I'd be able to book a flight, hotel, and show in NY or Chicago through Porter, etc vs all of a sudden changing their corporate goals and flying to Mexico.
Porter can still make a pretty profit doing this sort of thing (hotel, show tickets, etc) in places like Boston, NY, Chicago, and Montreal.
