Until now, the Canadian carrier stood out precisely because of the absence of these additional fees on point redemptions. This change alters the calculation for all VIPorter point holders\u2014and for those earning via the <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/credit-cards\/bmo-viporter-world-elite-mastercard\/\">BMO VIPorter World Elite Mastercard<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Here is what we know, what it means in practice, and how to limit the impact on your future bookings.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ce-que-porter-a-annonce\">What Porter announced<\/h2>\n\n<p>Porter Airlines is now applying a <strong>$40 temporary fuel surcharge<\/strong> (also known as YQ) on all flights booked with VIPorter points. Previously, these reward tickets were exempt from fees beyond mandatory airport taxes. The surcharge is added to the existing point cost and must be paid in Canadian dollars at the time of booking.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In practice, this means that a Porter reward ticket is no longer &#8220;tax-free.&#8221; You must now budget for an additional $40, regardless of the destination. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"component component__notice component__notice--warning wp-block-milesgutenberg-notice\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-exclamation-triangle\"><\/i>\n\t\t<div class=\"component__notice__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"h6 component__notice__title\">\n\t\t\t\tBeginning date\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>Fuel surcharges apply to new bookings made as of March 23, 2026. Reward tickets already issued are not affected retroactively. However, any modification or reissuance of an existing ticket could result in the application of the surcharge.  <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-montants-des-surcharges-carburant\">Fuel surcharge amounts<\/h2>\n\n<p>Porter has indicated that the fuel surcharge is $40, per direction, per person, and that it is fixed for all destinations.<\/p>\n\n<p>This amount is in addition to the usual airport taxes and fees. <\/p>\n\n<p>For a round trip, the fuel surcharge must be doubled. For example, a Montreal \u2013 Toronto round-trip reward ticket that used to cost about $30 in taxes could now cost $110 in total fees. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impact-sur-la-valeur-des-points-viporter\">Impact on the value of VIPorter points<\/h2>\n\n<p>The appeal of the <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/reward-program\/viporter\/\" type=\"card_reward\" id=\"157486\">VIPorter program<\/a> was partly based on low-cost point redemptions in dollars. With this surcharge, the value proposition changes. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-avant-vs-apres-les-surcharges\">Before vs. after surcharges<\/h3>\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at a concrete example for a Toronto \u2013 Montreal round trip in economy class.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"component component__table\"><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Element<\/th><th>Before<\/th><th>After (estimate)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>VIPorter points required<\/td><td>8,000 points<\/td><td>8,000 points<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Airport taxes and fees<\/td><td>~$30<\/td><td>~$30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fuel surcharge<\/td><td>$0<\/td><td>$40<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total in dollars<\/td><td>~$30<\/td><td>~$70<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<p>The number of points required remains the same. However, the bill in dollars increases significantly.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-valeur-par-point-en-baisse\">Decreasing value per point<\/h3>\n\n<p>When the dollar cost of a reward ticket increases, the effective value of each point decreases. In concrete terms, you &#8220;save&#8221; less by using your points since you still have to take out your wallet to cover the surcharge.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Before booking a reward ticket, systematically compare it with the price of a paid ticket. In some cases, especially on routes with high surcharges, paying for the ticket in cash might be more advantageous. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pourquoi-porter-ajoute-ces-surcharges\">Why Porter is adding these surcharges<\/h2>\n\n<p>Like many airlines, Porter is impacted by the soaring price of oil linked to events in the Middle East. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-comment-limiter-l-impact\">How to limit the impact<\/h2>\n\n<p>Despite this bad news, several strategies allow you to continue getting the most out of your VIPorter points and program-related cards.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"component component__list checkmarks\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-checkmarks\">\n<li><strong>Compare before booking:<\/strong> Check the price of a paid ticket on the same route and dates. If the surcharge reduces the advantage of the reward ticket too much, pay in cash and save your points for a better opportunity. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book early:<\/strong> The lowest paid fares are often available well in advance. By booking early, you can compare the real cost (points + surcharge) with a low-priced purchased ticket. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use VIPorter promos:<\/strong> Porter occasionally offers discounts on reward tickets (fewer points required). Combined with a modest surcharge on a short-haul flight, these promos remain attractive. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maximize earning via BMO:<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/credit-cards\/bmo-viporter-world-elite-mastercard\/\">BMO VIPorter World Elite Mastercard<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/credit-cards\/bmo-viporter-mastercard\/\">BMO VIPorter Mastercard<\/a> remain the best tools for earning VIPorter points daily. The faster you earn, the more your points cover the total cost of the ticket. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consider other programs:<\/strong> If you often travel on long routes, compare the value of VIPorter points with <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/reward-program\/aeroplan\/\">Aeroplan<\/a> points or <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/reward-program\/membership-rewards-american-express\/\">American Express Membership Rewards<\/a> on similar routes.

The value of VIPorter points mechanically decreases since more dollars must now be spent for each redemption. <\/p>\n\n<p>That said, the program remains interesting on short routes and for those who value the Porter experience. The key is to systematically compare the total cost of a reward ticket (points converted to dollar value + taxes + surcharge) with the paid price before booking. <\/p>\n\n<p>To receive our analyses as soon as they are published, <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/newsletter\/\">subscribe to our newsletter<\/a>.
