New from VIPorter: Redeem Your Points With Air Transat and Alaska Airlines

For the first time in the history of the VIPorter program, members can now use their points for flights operated by partner airlines. The initial launch includes two major partners:

• Air Transat: Result of the joint venture between Porter and the Quebec carrier
• Alaska Airlines: Extended business partnership launched in December 2023

This expansion of the program provides VIPorter members with a wide range of options. In total, more than 2,000 new destinations will be available to members using VIPorter points:

• Air Transat: 1,270 routes to 56 destinations in 28 countries in North America, Europe, South America, Africa and the Caribbean:
  • Europe: Starting from 25,000 VIPorter points
  • Caribbean: Starting from 21,500 VIPorter points
• Alaska Airlines: 1020 connections in 11 Canadian cities:
  • United States: Starting from 9,500 VIPorter points

In addition, Porter Airlines is continuously adding new routes in North America, with several set to begin in the summer of 2025.

Porter is now positioning itself as a more serious competitor to established programs such as Aeroplan Air Canada and WestJet Rewards. What’s more, with the arrival of BMO co-branded credit cards, the VIPorter program becomes even more attractive to Canadian travellers.
