PDX Concourse E New Extension Opened (7/15/2020)
Anyone get a chance to check out the new concourse E extension today? It might be worth a walk down there for some Tillamook ice cream 
With all WN flights leaving the C concourse, I guess this will provide AS more "breathing room" although I'm not sure they need it right now 
I wonder if the E175 flights will all be departing from jet bridges at PDX rather than via outside stairs now that so many gates have opened up.

I think the plan is AS will have all of the eventually expanded B, and AS/AA will split C. Not sure if PoP is going to put anyone else in C; the plans are pretty opaque.

E175’s have been using regular gates for a while, pretty much since the pandemic started. I flew back from BOI about a month ago and arrived at C3.

Are they using ramps at the end of the jetbridges? Or have there been any more permanent modifications?

No bridges are being used...there is a huge tent at the end of the concourse containing a huge ramp....like a temporary version of what's at the Horizon gates in SEA.
