Flights to Portland

Portland International Airport (PDX) is a hub for cheap Portland flights on SkyWest (United), Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, and SeaPort Airlines. Passengers enjoy many free services, such as Wi-Fi, postal services, and a recreational area for little ones. The MAX, a light rail transport, is the preferred public access for budget flights to Portland. I-205 is the nearest freeway. The all-hours stores and eateries have a mandate to charge no more at the airport than at locations outside the airport. Plus, there is no sales tax in Oregon. A four-time winner of Conde Nast Traveler magazine's "Top U.S. Airport for Business Travelers," PDX is highly respected for its environmental practices, like solar panels, light rail transfer, and recycling of spent cooking oil and grease. In addition, as part of the South Runway Reconstruction Project, the old asphalt was completely recycled.

Portland Weather

September is the best time for visits via low cost Portland flights. The sights are less crowded, and the weather's not so wet. December finds Portland at its lowest temperatures and greatest rainfall. July is the exact opposite, with hot and dry being the standard fare. Take a rain jacket, sweatshirt, and Birkenstocks or Doc Martens. As for cameras, bring a wide-angle lens for architectural shots and an external flash for indoor food and people pics. Fit a big backpack, in case you find sales on souvenirs, into a smaller wheeled piece of luggage for easier mass transit maneuvering.

Getting Around Portland

If driving a rental car or bicycling after arriving on discount flights to Portland, there are a few things you should know. Bike boxes are green squares painted on the road at 14 intersections. At these intersections, bikers stop inside the bike boxes, while motorists halt at the white line behind them. Also, motorists cannot turn right on red here. Bicyclists have that and the green light right of way. Public transport options for visitors who snagged deals on Portland flights include MAX light rail, Portland streetcar, Free Rail Zone, Transit Mall, and TriMet buses. Visit trimet.org for a complete mass transit travel planner, system map, routes, and timetables for bus stops and train arrivals, apps, text IDs, and more.
