Portland, Oregon Cheap Flights

After just one glance at the majestic scenery surrounding the Portland International Airport, you'll have an idea why the city and its airport are so passionate about being green. The airport takes extra steps to ensure it is doing its best to meet the needs of passengers arriving or departing on Portland cheap flights – and protect the environment.

Inside the terminal, PDX is piloting a program that encourages concessionaires, as well as passengers arriving or departing on Portland flights, to dispose of their liquid and food waste in containers that later will be transported to a composting facility. In addition, the airport features recycling bins, toilets that use one-third less water than average, and a Nike store that is serviced exclusively by solar power.

Adventurous passengers who've traveled lightly can enjoy Portland's gorgeous scenery right away by embarking on the bicycle and pedestrian path that was one of the first in the U.S. to link an airport terminal to its nearby city. If you're feeling a little less energetic after arriving on your cheap flight to Portland, the city's TriMet MAX Red Line light rail service connects Portland International Airport to various areas of the city. With these two options, as well as bus and shuttle services and rental cars, it's no wonder that Travel & Leisure Magazine recently named Portland as having the best transportation to/from the airport.

PDX features five concourses and is a major hub for Alaska Airlines, Delta, Horizon Air, Southwest, and United airlines, operating non-stop international flights to cities like Amsterdam, Tokyo, Calgary, and Vancouver. Other major airlines operating Portland flights include US Airways, AirCanada, JetBlue Airways, and Continental.
