Flew SJD-PDX today on AS and got yet another reminder of how bummed I am the Port didn’t relocate customs/immigration as part of the terminal remodel and get rid of that blasted bus ride. Yeah the plane views are nice, but it is not a great welcome to the city/state when you are trying to wrestle a...
Jump to postI also can't help but wonder what the fate of PDX-AMS will be, given the restrictions that the Dutch Government is placing on AMS international traffic. I would hope that DL would take off frequencies from ATL/DTW/MSP/JFK (which all have multiple daily AMS flights per day) instead of suspending PDX...

Exciting news if true.....from what I'm hearing from my airline sources.....PDX is likely to get a second flight to London next summer, and a seasonal to Paris as well. Both starting in May.
Jump to postAlaska loaded a whole bunch of cuts for the summer: PDX-ABQ/AUS reduced to 4x weekly. PDX-MSP reduced to 5x weekly. PDX-DAL/KOA/LIH/PSP all gone. PDX-ANC/BOS/DFW/ORD reduced from 2 to 1 daily. All PDX-Montana routes (BIL/BZN/FCA/MSO) are now only operating on Saturdays. This is simply getting ridic...
Jump to postAny chance Alaska is waiting until the Concourse B expansion to ramp up frequencies? I sure hope AS starts bringing back PDX flights soon. I will no longer connect in SEA, so I find myself increasingly using other airlines. Out of curiosity, why no more connections in SEA? Is the experience there s...
Jump to postWhen did American Airlines start flying to jfk from PDX? I always thought it was Alaska, JetBlue, and delta flying to jfk from PDX.
Jump to postWelp looks like another false alarm re: BA announcing PDX. How did that rumor get started anyways? Bobbaker19 started this rumor 4 days ago............. Beyond ridiculous. ZERO credibility. Few months ago, there were another one or two that posted this drivel. To actually state a date of an announc...
Jump to postI get this is a discussion board but this complaint was particularly irrelevant. I agree, and not only is it irrelevant it’s also absurd. Alaska (with Horizon) is already by far the best and most dominant airline at PDX with >40% market share. How many more flights or destinations can be added with...
Jump to postNow I wish we had the same momentum going for inter-North America flights. MCO was a great add. Just used the flight around a month ago, and the plane was packed full in both directions. Sun Country's expansion at PDX has also been great (although I'm not too confident that their MCO flight will be...
Jump to postFantastic news...this flight will be packed I'm sure. And 95 minutes is plenty of time for a turn...unless they hold passengers on board due to overcrowding in the SEA FIS. For us Portlanders this is great news. Due to Seatacs growth and Delta and AS being so strong as well, were getting such easy ...

Be a lot of fun to watch the crews flip the plane in that timespan.
According to another thread, Aeromexico is dropping PDX next year. That didn't last long. Not very surprising to say the least, there's no feed on the PDX end and the flight isn't timed well for connections through MEX. The only reason why SEA-MEX performs so much better is because of their partner...
Jump to postI wouldn't necessarily say that. SFO-FLL has competition (including SFO-MIA), whereas PDX-FLL does not. The FLL/MIA area is currently the largest unserved market from PDX. Sounds like a good route for jetBlue to start up then, who is much better at the transcon game and looks to be re-concentrating...

Jump to post* 66% leisure traffic just proves the lack of a business-oriented market that PDX is. Hopefully this will improve in the future. Without more nonstops especially to key unserved cities east of the Mississippi it’s doubtful. Business travelers don’t like having to take 6-8 hour domestic trips with c...
Jump to postAnyone who may doubt AS's commitment to Portland is just seeing the current climate. Fuel is skyrocketing, routes that were viable on paper 6-12 months ago, may not seem so viable now. Yes, absolutely AS is defending it's turf in Seattle & rightfully so, they have half of the market-share. I th...

Jump to postAnd Alaska just added SEA-CMH, so we know that a schedule update is imminent. Hopefully, PDX will get something new as well. Do you still think AS is still interested in adding service to the Portland market after the loss of DTW, STL,BLI, PSC and SUN? I for one would love for AS to refocus some at...

Jump to postAnother sign of AS so-called right-sizing of its PDX focus city...PDX-Eug flights down this fall/winter to only two flights a day....... My understanding is that PDX is a hub for Alaska Airlines...not a focus city. I believe Seattle is the main hub with Anchorage, pdx, and lax being smaller hubs, a...
Jump to postChances for nonstop PDX-HKG on Cathay Pacific just got a boost with the announcement that Delta is dropping SEA-HKG. CX/Oneworld would have the only nonstop out of the US Pacific Northwest and would have connecting feed from Alaska and American. The SEA flight ends in October so maybe we’ll hear so...
Jump to postWill AS ever add PDX-IAD nonstop service? AS is already at IAD with nonstop service to SEA, SFO, and LAX out of IAD, but AS's IAD-SFO and IAD-LAX nonstop service was acquired through the VX-AS merger. PDX is beyond the DCA perimeter, and AS cannot add extra nonstops to DCA from PDX with the perimet...

Jump to postWhy does Frontier bother staying at PDX? They only operate one year-round daily destination (DEN) and two seasonal 3-day/wk (AUS, CLE). Their connections are pretty much horrible.

Jump to postSome of the intl airlines at SEA even admit they depend on Portland pax to fill their planes. One (Thomas Cook?) recently said a big chunk of their traffic to SEA was Portland bound. As long as the airlines can continue getting away with pushing Portland pax into having to connect, they will, even ...
Jump to postThe fact is both Delta and Alaska funnel as many people they can to Seattle or Los Angeles and with that, PDX will be left out on major expansion from the nationals. I believe the next major international flight will be from a foreign carrier. Some of the intl airlines at SEA even admit they depend...
Jump to postAgreed. Evidently there is a lot of ‘the sky is falling’ sentiment in this thread. Losing two routes that have been on and off, and mostly seasonal, means AS is pulling out of PDX...Nobody even seems to realize that AS is going to make some changes with the Virgin integration. They have to fight ag...

Jump to postI suspect the odds of a Japanese carrier starting PDX - TYO decreased with the apparent news JAL will restart service to Seattle in late 2018 / early 2019. The article indicates service will feature 787 aircraft, starting at Narita, then shifting to Haneda by 2020. https://www.bizjournals.com/seatt...
Jump to postI read through lots of city threads on here and I don’t see the same friction when people advocate for their cities’ potential nonstop routes as I do toward Portland, especially with regard to Seattle. I don’t hear people making arguments for why Nashville pax should get over it and just fly out of...
Jump to postjsta1981...so I'm clear, as it appears once again we are engaging in this misunderstood debate regarding PDX vs SEA. When you say why are "we" comparing PDX to SEA...who is "we"? My post was regarding my distaste for having to connect through SEA. No comparisons there. I really ...
Jump to postPortland definitely needs year-round service to more than just AMS and NRT. Don't feed me this "connect in Seattle" crap either. I'm sick of hearing that and sick of being told to just "deal with it." Seattle's great, bigger, better, whatever. But it's an entirely different city...
Jump to postI agree with BlatantEcho, the JV between DL & KE couldn't happen soon enough. I read that the agreement did in fact receive approval through regulatory groups in South Korea last week.
