How purchases code (MCC)

  • 4511Airlines and air carriersVaries

    Porter Airlines's own airline code isn't confirmed; airlines without one code as airlines and air carriers (4511). Either way it's travel, and cards with a general travel rate apply.

A purchase's code is set by the merchant's payment processor and card network, not by your card, and it can differ by location, network and over time (American Express classifies merchants itself). Your statement shows how a purchase actually coded. Last verified October 2026.
