there’s a new-ish airline called porter, who flies daily out of toronto to montreal, new york, ottawa and other east coast places from right out of downtown.
they’ve got roundtrip flights on their FULLSERVICE (yes, they even feed you) from Toronto to New York for $300. I think this will be my July long weekend deal.
But check out the taxes included in that price: YUCK!
Here is a breakdown of the taxes and fees
that apply to your purchase.
Departing Flight:
$5.09 CAD US Agriculture Tax
$7.94 CAD ATSC
$7.50 CAD NAV and Surcharges
$15.00 CAD Airport Improvement Fee
$7.12 CAD US Immigration Tax
$15.67 CAD US transportation Tax
$6.27 CAD GST
$64.59 CAD Total Tax & Fees
Coming back I have to pay another $2.57 for the Sept 11 Security Tax. The things i do for this city - it must be love.
