PDX-SFO will go all mainline upping to 6x daily
PDX-LAX will up to 7x daily
PDX-PSP will go year round
PDX-GEG will up to 8x daily

Still holding out for a return of PDX-DEN

Still hoping for a PDX-SNA in the evening....5pm, 6pm, 8pm, whenever....it's just odd that the last flight of the day is around 3pm.....they don't even have a mid-day departure (closest is 10amish which doesn't even run every day).

I guess bringing back PDX-ATL is too much to ask...

Does it say if PSP in the summer is a 737 or Q400? I fly it a lot even in the summer via SFO or SEA (SEA is not daily in the summer, just F-M) and there are only 20-30 folks on the SFO flight who continue from PDX on it in the summer.

Also I doubt an evening SNA flight would return, they gave up the slot for that flight and more importantly it's early morning PDX return.

Aren't there several PDX-SMF routes? I've flown that one a few times.

A second PHX flight sure would be nice.

I think the key word was "mainline"... in other words, not a Q400. Although I don't think that would ever happen. They'd need to justify the increase, which would likely mean fewer flights and less options in exchange for the one larger flight.

PDX-MSP - WAY overdue.
That said, there are valid reasons/strategies to 'fortifying the base' route structure.
