Flying New England to Portland, OR?

Question

A few questions...

Flying from the Northeast (from either New York, Bradley in CT, or Boston) to Portland, Oregon, what would the best bet be for an airline? Looking for combination of lowest fare, best service, and shortest flight time? Average cost of a round trip?

Are there non-stop flights? How long on average time in plane?

How about from PDX (Portland) to BDL (Bradley)? Time? Cost for round trip?

Just fishing for some info here... Looking to visit my fiancee or vice-versa sometime in the future..

Thanks!

Answer 1

just found a price on united- ual.com - for $216 w/a 14 day advance purchase BDL-ORD-PDX
or for $60 .00 more JFK-SFO -PDX
this time of year not changing planes in Chicago or Denver actually makes sense

Answer 2

I have flown between Bradley and Portland a number of times, and the smaller size of the airports makes it kind of nice (i,e, esp, Bradley). It's been ten years since the last time, so I can't recommend airlines or flights, since much has changed.

All the times I flew I changed planes in either Atlanta or Dallas/Ft. Worth. I preferred the stopovers in Dallas.

Answer 3

Try JetBlue. If you're willing to fly at non-peak hours (like 6 am or midnight), you can get a fare as low as $119!!
