Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Apr 2025
Check weather and bring snacks or buy at airport just in case
JasonFlew with Porter Airlines-Feb 2025
If leaving from Halifax, I always give at least 30-45 mins extra as I find security there extremely bad. In addition depending on the time of year there are less companies who fly in the off (winter) season. That leaves Air Canada and Porter. Their fares are comparable usually.
