VIPorter flight redemptions hit with fuel surcharge fee

Drivers aren’t the only ones feeling pressure at the pump these days.

Porter Airlines is announcing a temporary fuel surcharge on all VIPorter flight redemptions. As of Monday, a $40 “Peak Surcharge” fee will be added when booking with loyalty points. Any bookings made prior to Monday are unaffected.

“Importantly, this surcharge is expected to be temporary,” Porter said in a release. “As oil prices stabilize and return to normal levels, we plan to return to standard pricing.”

Porter explained this is necessary as fuel is the highest cost of airline operations.
