These Are All the Nonstop Destinations from PDX

PDX is wonderful. The same can't be said for other airports. Here are all the destinations that won't force you to wait around to change planes.

By Rebecca Jacobson and Portland Monthly Staff October 21, 2025

We love Portland. We also love getting out of Portland.

With the opening of the Portland International Airport's revamped main terminal last summer, there's never been a better excuse to book a trip through America's greatest airport

You might consider arriving early to ogle at the new roof and sip a pint at beer bar Loyal Legion, whose massive pre-security space in the mezzanine boasts 96 taps, a speakeasy-style lounge, and airfield views. You could then steer yourself to the meaty menu at the Country Cat, which makes its PDX revival, before shopping for feminist greeting cards at Paper Epiphanies and beautiful belts and bags at family-run Orox Leather Co.

But as wonderful as PDX is, not all airports are created equal. Which means sitting around for hours waiting for connecting flights is generally a lousy experience. 

Thankfully, Portland has more than 80 nonstop flights to destinations both near and far. Keep in mind that nonstop flights are, well, flighty, coming and going quicker than the waterfront's cherry blossoms. Delta once said legs to Seoul and Tokyo were on the way; today the latter route has been abandoned and the former is indefinitely delayed. Things have been a little better on the domestic front, with new nonstops to Houston, Fresno, and New Orleans, as well as twice daily nonstop service between Portland and Eugene. Budget-friendly Spirit Airlines, however, filed for bankruptcy (for the second time) in August, and as of October, the carrier no longer flies out of 11 cities, including PDX. 

Right now, these are all the places you can go from our beloved airport without having to change planes.
