I Tested Canada's BEST Rated Airline

Today I Flew Air Canada and Porter Airlines in order to find out how good and bad they actually were and what the differences were like! Air Canada and Porter Airlines are both considered to be to of the best and most popular Airlines in all of Canada but how different can they really be?

In this video I show you everything from the check in, to the in flight experience and all the interactions with staff so we can truly see how each airline compares to one another!

Of course that Porter has only 4 seats per row, because that is the standard on the Embraer E195-E2. Also because the plane is smaller, the overhead lockers are smaller, and the bathroom head space is more limited than on the Boeing 737MAX from AirCanada!

I worked at a major US airport a while back, and porter was probably the only airline that I never heard anything bad about. (the free alcohol was something most people mentioned that they loved)

I’d love to see a base fare comparison in these videos as well, as price is often the number one determining factor of which airline people choose

Great review! However Air Canada and Westjet are by far the largest and most popular airlines in Canada. Porter is suppose to be a great airline though, thanks for the review:)

I survived Air Canada on a 14 hour flight to Seoul and back, as well as Houston. Both experiences were great! No delays and early arrivals.

AMEX Centurion lounge will NEVER turn you away just because you have the Canadian version of the card. It would be detrimental to the brand to punish international customers. Glad you have a good time in the lounge.

Eric never dissapoints with any of his videos. I might go to Canada next year and I'm super excited. If I decide to fly with air canada, hopefully my experience won't be bad. Keep up with the good content! Much love from the uk 🇬🇧 ❤️

I love porter air! It’s amazing two seats beside eachother a lot of room and just so clean and nice

I flew an AC A321 to Toronto in August, had the old 10+-year-old interior and entertainment system, which sucked. The crew was nice though, flew Porter home and it was far above in ever way, free snacks and wine were amazing. The Wi-Fi speed was insane too. AC Wi-Fi was slow AF. Only issue with Porter was the small bathroom.

I think westjet is also very popular. Can you do a vid for westjet

[therealharmless]

Banger vid. It’s a good day when this man uploads.👍

Porter is a great airline. I'm about to finish up my commercial pilot license. Let's just say the goal is Porter. They're geared to business ppl on day trips. Short hops and a lack of screaming kids. Their Embraers are sexy af!

[captainrylenaviation]

Your videos in aviation are improving! I love it!

[alessiagalaxy]

I don't know if this is a good idea for a video, but you can try to randomly pick a country from any continent and then fly to it but with the worst airline available.

I really like your videos and I always like! Keep going!! :))

The only 2 times I had an AC delay was a thunderstorm and a Cessna 172 that smashed into a runway at YYZ it’s fine other than that!

[plantfreeOG]

Been flying AC for decades and only had a handful of delays, most often they are punctual and many delays are caused by our inclement winter weather, -30C temps in places, AC deals with winter weather very well despite our harsh conditions.. On board, I find the hard and soft product the best in North America, hands-down. Like you've shown, state of the art IFE and probably the best BOB menu of all the NA legacies by far, not to mention a consistent cabin product.. Just FYI the A321's and A320's are currently being upgraded to the levels of the A220s plus cameras in the IFE. Thanks for combatting all the AC haters out there which we're all getting very tired of as that is old news and reflects AC in the distant past.

I've been flying Porter for years now on their smaller planes, and I've got to say the 2x2 layout is such an underrated plus. In Billy Bishop Airport on the domestic side, they did just open up the Aspire lounge this year too, which I must say makes flying Porter all the more enjoyable for me now! Plus, Porter constantly is having sales, the affordability is out of this world!

Air Canada has one of the best saftey records ever people need to stop complaining about delayed or cancelled flights its all to do with safety

[Deanluvsfly]

Great video! As I live in Vancouver but am from the opposite coast I travel across the country regularly. Air Canada is my preference as they have many flight options should there be delays or cancellations. Porter has a better onboard experience but when there are delays or cancellations it can be awful. My last trip back to Vancouver in July was on Porter and my flight from Halifax was cancelled due to weather so I had to stay at hotel. The flight they booked me on the next day was cancelled due to staff shortage so they booked me for later in the day, That flight was delayed and I missed my connection in Toronto, The aircraft was still at the gate but boarding had closed There were no other flights so I had to stay overnight in Toronto, When I finally made it home on day 3 my checked bags didn't make it.

I flew on porter airlines 12 days ago from Newark to Vancouver and I wasn’t even expecting them to be such a high quality airline. They’re definitely better than Air Canada and westjet for sure
