Flights from Los Angeles to Portland: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Los Angeles to Portland 
TomFlew with Alaska AirlinesLAX-PDXFeb 2025
For me it was a connection from overseas to home. They were on time, which is about the best you get from most US airlines. Baggage came quickly.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesLAX-PDXNov 2024
Leaver for the airport sooner especially during the holidays.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesLAX-PDXSept 2024
The "pay to pick your seat" policy stinks. It's even worse than "pay to pick a seat you'd want to sit in" that airlines have been doing for a while. There is no cohesive policy for how one *gets* a seat assignment- at LAX my boarding pass had a seat assignment; in Portland, the ticketing agent told me the gate agent "had" to do it, but the gate agent said it had been assigned the whole time even though my boarding pass had a blank space where the seat assignment should have been.
SeleneFlew with Spirit AirlinesLAX-PDXJuly 2024
Alaska was fantastic! Spirit's reputation for being horrible couldn't be more accurate. I'll never fly spirit again.

Very helpful with my mother who needed a wheelchair at both ends and everything went as expected

The flight was great, the crew was great. Our complaint was that there are no TV screens built into the seats. We used our tablets but drained my battery just watching a movie. The movie and TV selection were okay but not great.

The Crew was super nice but the plane was subpar at best. Filthy in some aspects. Internet only worked half the time and not with everything.

Quick boarding, efficient and pleasant crew. Wish they worked the mic better in the terminal to be understood more clearly.

Flight was cancelled while everyond was on the plane, ready for take off

Boarding, crew, and duration were great. The lack of built-in entertainment is a turn-off, especially in this day and age. I’m also tall, so comfort is always an issue. More legroom without extra cost for taller passengers would be great.

The people were nice. I did not make my flight and they immediately gave me the next one out.

This is the first time I fly with Alaska and it was a great experience. No delays, friendly crew, arrived on time. It was just a two hour flight from Burbank to Portland.

You need another option on certain questions - ones that not applicable.

Boarding was made fun by the gate attendant. He announced very clearly each board group and had some funny descriptions of each group. He played with the children, acting like he couldn't see them. Just a very welcome boarding process. Once on the plane, mother nature took over and we were locked in for about 45 minutes standing by for take off on the runway. Every plane has the same issue. Once in the air, the flight crew took very good care of us. Lots of communication with smiles.
