Canadians planning an Aruba holiday will have another package option through Porter Airlines’ partnership with Transat. In an October 28 announcement, Porter said more of its nonstop flights are being included in Transat vacation packages, with the new offerings available for travel beginning November 1, 2026.
Aruba included in expanded sun packages
The expansion covers flights from Toronto Pearson and Ottawa to Aruba and Liberia, Costa Rica, according to the airline’s release. For Aruba-bound travellers, the announcement concerns vacation packages using Porter flights; it should not be read as a promise that every departure date or hotel is available.
Porter says the packages include a selection of hotels, with both all-inclusive and European Plan options across the destinations. Travellers should check the meal arrangements and other inclusions attached to the specific property and package they choose.
What to check before booking
Before committing to a trip, confirm the departure airport, travel dates, hotel, baggage allowance, transfers and cancellation terms in the actual offer. The announcement does not provide a single Aruba package price or a detailed Aruba hotel list.
The wider expansion also adds vacation-package options to Mexico from other Canadian airports. For readers focused on Aruba, the key change is the addition of more Porter-operated flights to Transat’s package offering ahead of November travel.
