Portland’s Secret Flight Deals You’re Missing

Prices out of PDX are doing something rare right now: dipping below their historical baselines on select routes while most of the market holds steady. These aren’t broad sales or one‑off flash fares; they’re targeted anomalies where timing, seasonality, and airline competition align in your favor. Below are the routes that stand out this week if you’re flying from Portland.

Denver — $58 (🔥)
Nonstop fares to Denver rarely slide under $60 from PDX. A quick two‑hour flight makes it perfect for a long weekend in the Rockies. Shoulder‑season travel in January means cheaper lodging and fewer crowds at museums and restaurants.

Phoenix — $94 (🔥): Early‑March sunshine at a rare sub‑$100 price

Sub-$100 fares from Portland make Phoenix a straightforward warm-weather escape. Early March brings mild daytime temperatures, cool evenings, and the start of desert bloom season—ideal conditions for hiking before summer heat sets in. The short nonstop flight keeps this firmly in long-weekend territory.

Highlighted activity: Morning hikes in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve or Camelback Mountain, followed by outdoor dining or pool time in the afternoon.
