I am based out of YOW - Porter is great. You will either have a 75% LF or 25%. There is no in between. The fare I purchase always comes with a "porter stretch seat" and I have never had someone beside me. The back of the jet always seems to be more full. If you can spare the $15-35 on seat selection on top of your fare, it will be worth it to select a seat near the front with no one beside you.
Service is great, you can have a beer or two, with a coffee. Don't be afraid to hit the call button on the trans-con if you'd like another beverage before cart service. When I used to fly on the Q400 often (pre-jet Porter) the flight attendants would serve me two cans of beer at once. Now they will only give one small 355ml at a time. (the cans used to be 473ml). This was in my younger days though!
Free wifi on the jet service is great... in March I streamed Raptors games without issues while working.
I have flown their Q400 a handful of times lately... their LF% is way higher than the trans-con ops right now.
Their E2's are super nice. I still fly AC often when the schedule is better... but have switched to Porter over WS, and prioritize Porter over AC if I am doing a point-to-point flight where they both operate.
