Portland International Airport is located 12 miles northeast of downtown Portland. The passenger terminal complex is split into five concourses: Concourses A, B, C, D, and E.
The terminal forms an ‘H’ shape. Ticketing (upper level) and baggage claim (lower level) are in the centre while all the concourses are in the upper level.
On the main level behind the ticketing areas is the Oregon Market, which has restaurants, shops, and markets.
Between the concourses is a concourse connector after security, which runs from gate D1 to gate C1.
International Arrivals go to Concourse D to complete passport control and customs. Passengers then take a shuttle bus to the baggage claim level opposite carousel E.
The MAX light rail Red Line is the easiest way to travel to and from the airport. The trip takes approximately 40 minutes and trains depart approximately every 15 minutes. Some stops along the way include Rose Quarter, Pioneer Square North, Providence Park and Washington Park.
