Porter extends golf flights into fall

Porter, the little airline that could, is having a ball running flights between Toronto and Myrtle Beach, S.C. that are packed with golfers.

The Island Airport carrier launched its winter/spring golf flights a few years ago and they've been so successful that Porter has decided to extend them ino the fall.

Porter announced yesterday one-way fare for the fall product to Myrtle will run you $179, plus taxes.
That sounds good but a couple of U.S. airlines based in Niagar Falls are running spring golf escapes to Myrtle for as low as $296 return, and that includes taxes. And there's no charge for parking at the Buffalo/Niagara International Airport.

With the loonie so strong these days against the U.S. Greenback, that fare is even lower for Canadians.

The only thing you have to decide is: "is it worth the drive to Buffalo to save yourself a few bucks?"
