Portland International Airport Arrivals (PDX)

When you arrive at your destination airport in Portland, you should remember three things to smooth your travel experience.

First, familiarize yourself with the airport layout to know where your gate is and how to get there. Second, allow plenty of time for security checkpoints and possible delays. Finally, make prior arrangements for ground transportation to your final destination.

Following these simple tips can help ensure a stress-free travel experience.

Upon arrival at Portland International Airport, retrieve your luggage and other personal belongings at the designated baggage claim area.

If you lose an item in the terminal, call Lost & Found at +1 503.460.4272.

Important Note:

Suppose you are arriving in the United States from an international destination. In that case, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires a full declaration of passengers' currency or monetary instruments.

International visitors entering the United States must declare currency or monetary instruments worth more than $10,000 on their Customs Declaration Form (CBP Form 6059B) and then file a FinCEN Form 105.

International travelers departing from the United States with currency or monetary instruments combined with over $10,000 must file a FinCEN Form 105 before departure.

You may file on paper or electronically on FinCEN Form 105 CMIR, U.S. Customs and Border Protection here: https://fincen105.cbp.dhs.gov.

Ride Shares at Portland International Airport

Both Uber and Lyft, which both made their debuts in Portland in 2015, provide trips that can be reserved using mobile apps in a hassle-free, cashless manner.

Both businesses provide service to Portland International Airport and pick passengers up on the first island to the far left of the baggage claim area.

By using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft, you can bypass the expensive airport taxis and get to your destination for much less. This service may be more cost-effective than taking a cab from the airport.

Rideshares pick up passengers at the designated area near the airport.

Passengers can reserve rideshare by downloading the company's app on their smartphone and coordinating directly with their driver. They can also request a ride a few days before their flight to avoid the inconvenience.

For added safety, ridesharing apps should let users verify the identity of drivers by checking out their faces, license plates, and colors.
