Hello. We're glad you're here. If you haven't flown in a while, you'll notice that PDX looks a little different; that's because 60% of our new main terminal opened in August 2024, and the other 30% is now under construction (opening in early 2026).
Here's what you need to know:
-
New exit route from Concourse B in December.
This December 2024, if you arrive on the Concourse B gates between 6pm and 3am, you will likely use a new exit door that puts you directly into baggage claim. If you have a connecting flight, you'll need to head up to the ticket lobby and pass through security again. PDX staff will be there to support you. These alternate routes keep everyone safe as we bring the other 30% of PDX's new main terminal to life.
-
Walking distances to gates B and E are longer.
To guide everyone safely around the construction of the main terminal at PDX, walking distances to Gates B and E will double through early 2026. Mobility assistance is available to everyone. Call 503-460-4300.
Some more useful tips
- Arrive a little early. Take more time to get to your gate. (We recommend two hours for domestic flights and three hours for international flights, but travelers should also check with their airlines.) You might want to arrive even earlier to enjoy all the new shops and restaurants!
- Follow overhead signage. There are new routes to Concourse B and Concourse E to safely navigate the main terminal building. Follow the overhead signs to your gate.
- Looking for coffee or a snack before going through security? Peet's Coffee & Tea and Your Northwest Travel Mart are in Baggage Claim, and The Country Cat, Portland Coffee Roasters and Loyal Legion have new locations right after check-in.
- Expect to see: lots of construction workers hard at work.
- Why is all this happening? We are bringing to life these new designs for PDX. The new main terminal opened in August 2024 and the next phase of the project will end in early 2026.
Construction map
Here is a map that highlights some of the changes in the ticket lobby and when going through security. The concourse connector, or shortcut between concourses after security, has reopened, but you'll still save time by following the signs to the security checkpoint associated with your gate.
