I have used them quite a few times to fly to my office in Chicago.
Great service, always on time barring weather delays.
The planes are small and noisy due to the turbo props, but you are only in the air for a short time.

I have found the best way to get there is by Go train to Union Station then walk across the street to the Royal York Hotel where there is a free shuttle to the Island Airport.

There is very little and expensive parking near the Island Airport.

I'm a Big Fan of Porter.

Use them alot for work. Very professional and well managed, always on time, the lounge is great, and the flights have always been smooth.

Great for Montreal to downtown Toronto, not so great for Montreal to anywhere else, nothing direct.
