Avoid late night flights for risk of delaying beyond Montreal flight “curfew” after 12 am
JasonFlew with Porter Airlines-Dec 2024
If you are taking a carry-on, Porter offers a great service where before you board the plane they have Porter Gate service where they will take your carry-on and when you arrive at your destination your carry-on will be waiting for you outside the plane. So you do not have to worry about the overhead and not having space.
