Arriving soon: More of everything you love about PDX ... more food, more fun, more flow. And to make room for all of that awesomeness, we’re saying “adiós!” to A.

That’s right. After 31 years in service, Concourse A closed for good in November 2019. You can get a preview here of the cool changes we’re rolling out at PDX, including a bigger and brighter Concourse B opening in 2021.

If you’re flying with us soon, double-check your boarding pass. Alaska Airlines passengers accustomed to departing from the old A gates are getting an upgrade — your next flight will depart from Concourse C, where you can find coffee without long lines, mugs of craft beer and plenty of tasty places to eat. (Check out this handy map for a rundown of your new digs in Concourse C.)
