    If you ever lose your car, hit the Info call box by the elevators. Parking security takes inventory of every car daily. Give them your plate number and they know exactly where you parked. Amazing.

    💚 Favorite airport, calmest TSA ever! Come early to get an aromatherapy foot soak at the Spa on C Concourse, or just shop & eat! 💚 Don’t forget to take a foot selfie with the famous #PDXcarpet 🤳

    Best Airport in the US. If one security line is long, try the one for the other terminal. You can always take the shortcut back between the two and get some waking in.

    Flying out of A, B, or C? Use the security checkpoint for D and E. it's almost always faster. Plus the Coffee People past security is usually fast and friendly too ;)

    The easiest airport to get through. From curb to gate in 15-20 mins. Also, Stumptown coffee, abundant plugs, and free wifi!

    I’ve been to a fair amount of airports & this is my favorite of the larger international airports. Clean & well lit.

    For Vegans: the bistro cafe in the main ABC concourse has vegan options or will adjust menu options to be vegan. just need to ask. FYI. The hummus plate is vegan & very garlicky. It yummy but pungent

    Support food carts, located pre security like these yummy mantou from Pok Pok, they also have their famous Fried wings! I would arrive early or lingering before going home to enjoy the deliciousness

    What a great airport! Down at the center area of the C Gates good food options and shopping. Take home made in Oregon items including whiskey to enjoy to enjoy with friends and family.

    Neat airport with several good local eating and drinking places. The Max Light Rail picks up outside and can take you downtown. The weather here can make it a bumpy ride on take off or landings.

    One of the best airports in the world, offering incredible eats and some of the NW’s best restuarant brands. I’ve been to hundreds of airports and I love coming back here every time.

    Tip from helpful TSA lady: if the line is long at the ABC gates, walk down to DE, check in and walk back inside

    Such an efficient airport, only one terminal - all gates emanate from within. Terminal D Smash Burger chicken sandwich and fries 🍟

    Best airport ever. TSA is great. The atmosphere is relaxing 😎. All the shops have something for everyone. This is the best airport in the Great Pacific Northwest.

    Caper's Cafe offers pretty good home cooked food. It's healthier than most airport eateries and has a nice wine bar with several local wines. The Stone Cap Cab is good and only $7.

    Shelly's Vegan Wrap is one of the best tasting, reasonably priced, and healthiest airport food options I've found. Get it at the Oregonian News stand by gate E3 across from the Laurelwood.

    Best airport in the world! Lots of good places to eat, art to view, and tax-free shopping that has similar pricing to their partner stores outside of the airport.

    Skip Starbucks and get coffee at Stumptown. The lines move fast, so don’t worry if they look long.

    Security line A/B/C backed up past the Nike store? Ask TSA how long line D/E is. Takes about 20min after the 1st check point.

    A nice airport to show up early to. Many shops (Powell's, Pendleton) to get souvenirs that don't seem like they could've possibly come from the airport.

    One of the better places to have a layover. Possibly the best airport in the country when it comes to craft beer availability (and affordability).

    Pamper yourself with Priority Pass via Caper’s Market (A/B/C Concourse) or Capers Restaurant (D/E Concourse). Excellent redemption value and to-go food options.

    A decent light rail line right into the city, good eating options, and friendly TSA workers (at least when I've passed through) make PDX one of the better airports in the US.

    If you're hungry, check out the Pok Pok and KOI Fusion food carts. Some of the best Thai food and Korean inspired Mexican food in town!

    Deserving of its reputation as one of America's best airports: warm design, good retail mix, appetising food options. TSA remains TSA, however, as charming as ever.

    Checked luggage is quickly delivered (usually). You can pick up OR beer and wine to go after security and take it with you onto the plane - leave some space in your carry on!

    Here for a layover? Free-wifi is a bonus but most terminals also have workstations with semi-private cubicles, quiet space, and plenty of plugs. Great for knocking out some work before your flight.

    Cafe right next to Gustavs has incredibly awesome tossed salads. For those looking for healthy eating, stop here. It's a must! For mom healthy, get a sausage from Good Dog Bad Dog.

    In case your flight leaves from gate E-6, just walk away from the terminal and go all the way to the set of Wings... bring your hiking gear. Oh, and a jacket. It's chilly out here!

    Make sure to go to the end of the E terminal to see a little bit of history. You will find the original carpet that was used at the airport!

    What's good here? The restaurants are awesome. Stanford's, Mo's, Roses, Rogue Brewing and Gustavs. Voted Americas best airport for a reason, it's clean, nice and modern.

    Just an FYI there is Made in Oregon store at the airport and have the same price as the other stores they have in town. Good store to visit .

    If the security line is too long at ABC, go to DE, there's a hallway that connects the two security theaters behind the restaurants, that you can walk from one to the other. Go to E7 for old carpet.

    Like the city it serves, this airport is understated, quiet, and totally enjoyable. Be nice to the TSA because this might be the one place they are also nice to you.

    Get here a little early. There is great local coffee, and also some great food options after you clear security! For movie buffs, there is a theater on C con that shows local movies.

    “Shop & dine around the clock” means something different than what you think. The Clock is an actual clock tower in the terminal before security. Don’t expect things to stay open all night here.
