PDX is great.
PDX just expanded without changing the total airport footprint. One of those smart people in Seattle needs to figure it out.
This is not a serious list.
That covers several of the most frequent destinations out of the Seattle area.
Took it to Phoenix once, was great
When it opened United had a flight to Denver we used regularly, but that didn't survive pandemic.
like it looks really nice but all the seating venues are backless couches and laptop tables and you’re trapped until you finish your beer so you better not have to use the restroom either
Not that I've been to the airport since covid, because I'm chronically ill & still have to socially isolate.
I guess theres one route to Ireland.
That SBA came in at #23 is the travesty.
*It was delicious. Just freaking expensive.
Just because I avoid it like the plague doesn't mean it's bad.
BTW: The mountain views from the SLC airport are amazing.
You've been there?
Its the easiest airport.
But full respect I lived in Durham for a year and had a long distance relationship there for a second year. RDU was also extra lovely.
Oh, wait, are y'all talking about the other Portland?
*cannot survive midair collisions
Woot!
To be fair, I have to deal with DFW or Lovefield so I might be jaded. 🤣

Having *commercial* flights there is very new and, I think, just a few gates.
NATIONAL Airport.
This list isn’t worth much. (I say that as some who flies every week and has been to nearly every airport in the top 50.)
Do as thou wilt, maybe, if you survive corps and fascists doing as they wilt unto you.
I don’t like it because it’s highly trafficked with a small layout, so it’s extremely crowded. And delays feel abnormally frequent too.
But, seeing all of the comments here extolling PDX I now want to fly through there. Also, PDX llamas? Top tier airport experience I'm sure.
Seatac is just too busy, I'm not sure the reno is going to help with its size limitations.
