LGW to OAK, stay at one of the very inexpensive nearby airport hotels (e.g. Courtyard Marriott), then Southwest on up to PDX. Advantage is zero delays at OAK while big delays at SFO in the summer (fog), less expensive hotel options and the LGW OAK flight is running way under capacity so increased chance of empty seat next to you.
