You can get a $500 gift card for $450, so a 10% savings. This is on top of any other seat sale prices.
As a reminder, you need to ask yourself if the savings by buying a gift card are worth it, as you do lose the benefits from your credit card (car insurance while traveling, cancellary/delay insurance, out of country health coverage) the moment you don't fully pay your airfare with such credit card.
I wonder if you can use a gift card for some and put the rest on a CC?
That depends on the T&C of the credit card. Some do allow for partial charges - accounting for the fact that a booking may be paid with points, with only a residual charged to the CC... whereas some are specific that it has to be a full charge
Yes. You can use the balance of the gift card for part and then the remaining amount on CC.
My husband uses them a lot within Ontario, no issues!
I’ve flown them for short commuter flights same jet, different company) but never long haul. I live on the west coast so seems strange to fly a commuter jet cross country.
are you referring to the little prop planes or the new Embraer E195-E2?
The Embraer ERJ 175 so guess the smaller regional jet. They’re very nice, but small. This is what Alaska Airlines fly from Vancouver to Seattle and other commuter flights.
Late to answer here. We flew from Vancouver to Toronto Pearson in March on one of their new jets. We got a great price on Porter Reserve so sat in the first few rows. One of our best flight experiences ever.
Good to know! I fly Alaska and they must be associated with them because they were listing some of Porters flights at really good prices. I thought they were the really small commuter jets Alaska flew from YVR to SeaTac. Couldn’t see a long haul flight on one.
