PDX was voted as America’s Best Airport from 2013 to 2019 and again in 2021 by Travel + Leisure readers. Why do travelers love PDX? One 2019 reader summed it up perfectly: “People are friendly, there are ample local shopping and food options, there are free local short films, prices are normal, there's local art, a local distillery, live music...I could go on and on.”
