Re: Oregon Aviation - 2023

Is Delta PDX-LHR never coming back in the near future due to BA? If so, is there a realistic chance of PDX-CDG this year? Also, any chance of Dallas non-stop from them from PDX? PDX-LHR is not scheduled to return on DL and likely won’t given BA’s presence in the market. PDX-CDG is unlikely imo. PDX...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2022

I couldn't see any discussions on PDX-AMS by DL in this topic. But, it looks like it is back from 6/1. Actually, it’s back from May 6th at 3x weekly and is upgraded to daily service in June. Flights are on an A330-200 but I expect DL will switch to a -300 eventually. Thanks for the update/clarifica...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2022

Some good news: The Lufthansa feeder flight agreement for Condor at FRA has been renewed. This means that Condor now has feed on both ends once again. At FRA with LH/other DE partners and at PDX with AS. The flights likely would've been empty if this agreement wasn't in place. That's great. This gi...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2020

Hope this works. Cool look indeed.

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2019

Happy to see the BA LHR=PDX flight announcement. I am glad it's year round. Let's see what DL does. I still hope that, if they make a move, they do some PDX=CDG.

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2019

Thank You, I am meeting up with five half brothers & sisters I never knew existed until a few months ago in Dublin. Even if you disagree with me that’s fine, we can have a conversation about the subject, but no worries. I feel a CDG flight on AF or DL would take away the connecting traffic that...

We are going April 12th & it is scheduled to be an Airbus A-333, I think it switches April 1st or so. Trying Comfort plus this time. CDG is a fantasy IMO. Have a nice trip. Please don't think I am arguing against your comment on CDG. I am asking this because I don't know enough history. Was the...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2019

Recently did a PDX-AMS as well AMS-PDX trip. Didn't realize they do B767s this time of the year. The flight was full on both directions, including the Premium seats.

Here is the customary note, when will PDX get CDG direct connection?

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2019

Has anyone else noticed how much Delta or the Port is investing in advertisements for the PDX-LHR flight? I have seen many billboards around the city, commercials, promos with local news stations and advertisements on magazines. I really hope they do very well on this route to make it year round. L...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2019

No dumb questions here, the proposal would leave HND as the sole gateway to Portland, so NRT would be eliminated. I am unsure why so many people feel as if DL should or is going to get the lions share of the slots several carriers applied for. Thanks for your response. If this materializes, then it...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2019

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but will this be a change from PDX-NRT to PDX-HND or will it be on top of PDX-NRT, if approved?

PDX Portland International Airport Wow, that's great for PDX! The PDX-MEX on AM is gone, but should be more than offset by PDX-LHR going daily between May and October this year.

I did a PDX-LHR early June for the 1st time. It was a full flight on economy. Meal choice wasn't great but was overall happy with this service. Hope this becomes year round and not just seasonal. I guess this route deserves an year round. I came back by AMS-PDX. It was a full flight, but probably ha...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2018

DL's PDX-LHR flight has some more connections to India, especially BOM and DEL thru 9W. I agree that a PDX-CDG-PDX flight will have better connections due to ST alliance options. I hope it happens soon. I had the same hope when AF announced SEA, but PDX got nothing after that.

Seems like the airline will Drop Madurai-BLR and continue with IXG-BLR from 14th May Spicejet was in the plan to add a morning BLR-IXM-BLR flight on top of their current mid-day flight.

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2018

For Europe, yes, I really wish PDX-LHR was year round. I have to go to the UK more and more, and the non-stop is a lot easier than anything else. But, I also know PDX-CDG on Delta provides a ton more connections for SkyTeam. So, I wouldn't be surprised to see that added (even seasonally) on Delta b...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2018

It's definitely possible. I would have hoped that the situation played out similarly to DL/VX to LHR, in the fact that when VX started SEA-LHR, Delta started PDX-LHR. When VS started, DL stopped it between SEA-LHR and started the season PDX-LHR if I am correct. In case of CDG, AF is coming back, th...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2018

Any PDX-CDG would likely be Norwegian. If Portland passengers want to realistically have any chance at gaining new nonstops to Europe, we’ll have to stop connecting in SEA and helping fill those planes. It wipes out any incentive for airlines to add at PDX. Better to connect in ORD, YYZ, BOS. Or su...

Re: India Aviation Thread - 2018

SEA could be another option for the Northwest US, considering the fact that DL has significant presence there.

I hope MAA gets the AMS connection from 9W, not sure how the recently introduced MAA-CDG is doing.

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2018

With AF restarting CDG-SEA, is there any realistic chance now for a DL/AF CDG-PDX anymore in the near future? I am not comparing PDX and SEA and I am just wondering about the reduced possibilities now more than in the past.

I believe it will after this next summer season. From my understanding Delta had extended the seasonal flight, to start this March instead of May.

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2018

I doubt it. I would think that DL would announce a summer seasonal PDX-CDG flight rather than increase the frequency of another route. (More destinations/options for travelers, w/o having to increase flight frequencies). I imagine that it would probably look something like this. PDX-CDG / CDG-PDX: ...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2018

Since there's no word about any possibility of a PDX-CDG flight in the near future, let me ask this question. Is there any chance of extending the seasonal PDX-LHR service beyond October this year or a possible increase in frequency in summer time?
