This page searches LaGuardia (LGA) to Portland International (PDX) in Portland, Oregon. New York JFK (JFK) and Newark (EWR) are separate airports, so check which one your ticket shows, and Portland, Maine uses a different airport. Delta, United, American and Southwest all appear among EazAir's fare-check results here. At LaGuardia, Delta flies from Terminal C and American, United and Southwest from Terminal B; PDX does not show airline concourses in a form EazAir could read.

The free Q70 LaGuardia Link bus runs from Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Av/74 St-Broadway station and from Woodside, where not all LIRR trains stop, to Terminals C and B. From upper Manhattan, the M60 SBS stops at every terminal, and a fare applies. Delta says all Terminal C drop-off areas support check-in and bag drop. The airport offers TSA PreCheck in Terminal B, and lists walk times to gates of 4 to 9 minutes there and 3 to 11 minutes in Terminal C.

PDX has four concourses, B, C, D and E, and information booths in North and South Baggage Claim. The TriMet MAX Red Line connects the airport with E/NE Portland, Portland City Center, Beaverton and Hillsboro, and TriMet lists the last train from PDX at 12:27 a.m. every day. Taxi pickup is signposted, with Broadway Cab Company, Flat Cab, PDX Yellow Cab and Radio Cab Company on the airport's list. PDX says to allow 30 to 45 minutes to drive downtown.

Two checks on back-to-back days say little about how prices move. Southwest's policy allows one carry-on and one personal item.

Travel tips

Arrive early for domestic flights

TSA generally recommends arriving at least 2 hours before a domestic departure, more at larger hub airports during peak travel periods.

Pack a mixed carry-on

Keep a change of clothes, chargers, and any essentials in your carry-on rather than only your checked bag, in case of a delay or a bag that doesn't arrive with you.

Ease jet lag on longer routes

On longer cross-country flights, adjusting your sleep schedule a day or two before departure and staying hydrated in flight can reduce jet lag on arrival.

Screenshot your confirmation

Save a screenshot or PDF of your booking confirmation and boarding pass before you travel, in case you lose signal or battery at the airport.

Check in online when it opens

Most airlines open online check-in 24 hours before departure. Checking in early can help with seat selection and, on some airlines, boarding group assignment.
