Veronica TNovember 17, 2013Really excited to see the nice upgrades and improvements at the Portland Jetport! Play area for kids, gate areas looks fresh and modern, bathrooms are clean. Bonus: nice staff
"Fudge isn't a liquid!" I exclaimed."Anything that can be spread, poured or sprayed," she said, pouring out the contents of my backpack, spreading out my underwear and spraying socks on the table.
Joe WinnNovember 8, 2014Free wifi with no hassle to connect. Small-town airport. Easy to get anywhere or right out to your ride.Upvoted Dec 31, 2024- ed petersonOctober 10, 2017Great small airport! Car rental was a little slow, but great facilities and easy in and out.
Alexa Jane BrooksMarch 18, 2015Great location! Cheaper flights. Clean and next to no traffic. Pretty architecture too. Only 15 minutes from whole foods.
Eileen BJanuary 6, 2013Plenty of outlets and USB ones too. No need to dig for adapters!! Best Buy vending machine available across from gate 9 if you forgot your cables!
Using TSA Pre, I can easily get from the front door to my gate in 15 minutes on a normal day. That's with checking a bag. 10 total gates, a Starbucks, and a few restaurants.
small, easy to navigate. Some nice touches that make it uniquely Maine. Like those Beans rockers. You can even spot a moose or too.
Mike McLaughlinNovember 15, 2011Free wifi and convenient places for charging things! Not to mention Starbucks at gate 7 and cool architecture. One of my favorite "jetports"
With TSA precheck you’ll never have to wait more than 10 minutes in line. Hit the Starbucks, and watch the planes come in a rocking chair!
Skip the Shipyard pub and grab a beer at Linda Bean's. They have Goose Island IPA on tap.
The people here are absolutely wonderful. As a frequenter flier they always greet me and start my travel day off right. Also- the asiago breakfast sandwiches at the breakfast kiosk are amazing- if no Read more
Kyle HinrichsJuly 9, 2014Bring an empty water bottle! You can fill it up by the fountains and bathroom by Linda Bean's.
Welcome to Maine! Our interests include hunting, gay marriage, complaining about the weather, and Allen's Coffee Brandy.. Enjoy your stay!
Great clean airport! For extended stays use Park'n Jet instead of airport parking. They are cheaper per day!
Bring your empty reusable bottle and fill it at the water station. So much better than a water fountain!
Rarely a line to checkin but the security line can be a bit long depending on the time of day but moves fast
Sara GraceAugust 18, 2012Nice jet port. Rocking chairs & wood beam ceiling add a classic Maine touch. Decent food & free wifi is always a plus.- Derek JonesSeptember 4, 2014Small airport with free wifi. Travels to most hubs on the east coast and Orlando.
- My favorite part, besides the free fabulous wifi, is when I get off a flight and am walking up the ramp and see the sign "welcome home". Always makes me smile.
- There is a line at security from 10:30 until 11:15 am. That's the only line time outside of the early am rush (4:50-6 am)
- Portland International JetportApril 19, 2012Be sure to check-in for our most recent special! Free Soft Drink and Clam Chowder Sample from Linda Bean's Cafe (near Gate #10)!
Small airport. Very easy to maneuver. Lots of power stations.
Elliott BellJuly 16, 2012Gate 8 is great. Just make sure you get there early so you can see the planes take off from the large windows- My favorite part is when I'm getting off a flight, walking up the ramp into the airport and I see the "Welcome home" sign. I smile every time.
James UnderbergJuly 25, 2015Love the Delta flights - move through quickly - nothing fancy here but everyone nice - place runs well !!!
Michael Del CampSeptember 21, 2011You have to get here first, right? Trains, buses and cars can bring you to Portland, too. You can rent a bike once you get here.
All these tips about waiting until last minute to catch your flight should be ignored. Always always always get to the airport at least an hour before your flight!!
Bill TurnerSeptember 21, 2011Most of us think of an airport as a quick "pass thru" location: reality is we business people spend considerable time there; plan to use airport resources such as WiFi, restaurants, coffee, retail,
Do not leave your vehicle unattended in the Baggage Claim Lot or on the curbside, you will get a $25 ticket and have your vehicle towed. Thank you.
Starbucks inside! Great food options. Water bottle refill station.
Rarely lines at security. Food options are weak, but the rocking chairs make up for it.
Christine WeiMay 18, 201510 mins from curb to gate at 5:08am Monday with precheck (and mobile boarding pass).
If you have a flight departing before 8am. You should be at the airport 2hrs before departure. Check in and Tsa lines are long. After 8am 1hr should be sufficient
JonathanSeptember 5, 2012There is a long line at the Delta kiosks that isn't moving and none of the other airlines have lines. Also, I checked in online and am still waiting in line with everyone else to drop off my bag.
Sara LAugust 22, 2012There were tons of outlets right at your seat. Also, rocking chairs by the window were a good touch!
If you're packing a garmin, especially in a sandbagged case, take it out of your suitcase-- a lot quicker than what I just went thru!
Jonathan PercyMay 29, 2012Security is pretty tight here which isn't surprising for a smaller airport. Overall, great, calm airport. Oh, and free wifi.
Kate WilmotJune 7, 2011Comfortable seating for when Newark is rigid and delays flights for two hours and your sat waiting to pick someone up. Friendly staff, great internet.
Amy SomeraJuly 6, 2014Breezy security pre-check. Q code boarding passes on smart phone easily read... good start!
Casandra CharbonneauxDecember 24, 2010Disregard the whole come 2 hrs early for international flights thing here, security is so fast you'll be sitting around forever if you don't. Also keep the liguids in tiny bottles or they'll get tossd
Sabrina Shrader McOwenMarch 9, 2012BJ at the United ticket desk is super nice. If stuff gets screwed up, she'll go above & beyond to try to fix it.
Denise Faulkner ScalesDecember 22, 2012Get there in at least 1.5 hours early! All new way to get thru and easier!
- The new security and gate areas are BEAUTIFUL! Plus, you gotta love free and reliable wifi. Read more
Andrew CSeptember 23, 2016Small airports are so much better - quicker service and less crowds allows limited stress!!!

"Ordered the size huge lobster roll, clam chowder, and kettle chip combo. My husband and I wanted to split and they graciously served two portions on two separate plates. It was amazingly good food!"

"There's no better place for a final taste of Maine. The lobster roll is a fave as much as the lobster eggs Benedict"
