^^ very cool. I’ll be taking a Porter jet for the first time next week, looking forward to it. I’ve flown with them once before, but just a short hop on one of their turboprops from New York to Toronto.

The 2x2 seating configuration is nice, since most people travel in pairs.

The centralized security opened today with all 7 lanes, and the old A/B/C all closed. Wonder what they plan to put in the previous A/C spaces.

I’m really scratching my head wondering why the A and C security points are closing now and not after the holiday rush!

Probably staffing if they're running all the lanes in the new area

Will be interesting to see what the plan is for the spaces vacated by pre board security. More dining/retail options?

This has 7 lanes. I'm not usually flying during the very busy times, but that seems about the same number of total lanes between A/B/C before. And it makes more sense to funnel people to the one with the new CT machines which speeds up all the unpacking.

I hope the Westjet Lounge gets expanded, and maybe Aspire will open a domestic one. Some for food options would be nice as well.
