Flights to Portland Airport

Discover Portland

Thanks to the TV show Portlandia, the City of Roses has gained itself a reputation as one of the hippest cities in America. We reckon that reputation is well earned. The urban planning is eco-friendly, the music and arts scenes are buzzing, and the micro-breweries are plentiful. Despite being the largest city between San Francisco and Seattle, Portland has a wonderfully laid back attitude. There are plenty of green spaces to chill out in, and lots of trendy neighbourhoods to discover. Book flights to Portland today and find out what all the fuss is about.

Airports in Portland

Portland International Airport (PDX) is the largest airport in Oregon, handling 90% of the state’s air passenger traffic. The airport is home to a huge shopping mall and, because Portland has no sales tax, all of the items are duty free. The airport asks retailers to practice fair pricing, so restaurants and shops are unable to inflate their prices to a higher level than their in-town counterparts. As if that’s not enough, free Wi-Fi is also available throughout the terminal building.
