Check out the busiest travel dates and tips to navigate the airport during the peak season.
The Portland International Airport (PDX) is gearing up for a busy summer season, expecting around 7 million travelers between June and August 2025. This surge in traffic, a 5% increase from last year, is attributed to the peak travel season and the addition of new direct flights to several destinations. To manage the increased volume, PDX has implemented several improvements, including expanded security checkpoints, additional parking options, and enhanced customer service training for staff. Travelers are advised to arrive at least two hours before their flight to accommodate potential delays and to utilize the airport's online resources for real-time updates on parking availability and security wait times.
