I received an email today from Porter about a "temporary fuel surcharge". I assume WestJet, Air Canada, and Flair will be following suit shortly.

Spoiler!

We want to share an important update regarding VIPorter flight redemptions.

Due to the recent rise in global fuel prices, Porter is introducing a temporary fuel surcharge on all VIPorter flight redemptions. This adjustment will be applied as a 'Peak Surcharge' to each passenger, each way. This update goes into effect for all new VIPorter flight bookings as of March 23, 2026 - any existing bookings are unaffected.

Importantly, this surcharge is expected to be temporary. As oil prices stabilize and return to normal levels, we plan to return to standard pricing.

We want to be transparent about why this change is necessary. Fuel represents the highest cost of airline operations and this surcharge allows us to maintain the number of points required for redemption.

Thank you for your understanding and for being a valued VIPorter member.

Warm regards,

The VIPorter Team
