Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts
The charts “When is the cheapest time to fly?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “What's the cheapest day of the week to fly?” and “What do round-trip flights from Boston to Portland cost?” are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights on this route over the past 12 months or more.
Where a route has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on this route.
Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches on this route.
The chart “When is the best time of day to fly?” is calculated directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about flying from Boston to Portland.
What is the typical flight duration from Boston to Portland?
The flight from Boston to Portland is about 2,530 miles. The typical nonstop flight time is 6 hours and 13 minutes, while the return trip from Portland to Boston takes 5 hours and 23 minutes — about 50 minutes shorter, thanks to prevailing winds. Both Alaska Airlines and JetBlue offer daily nonstop service on this route.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.
Are there any direct flights from Boston to Portland?
Yes, Boston has nonstop service to Portland on two airlines: Alaska Airlines and JetBlue. Alaska runs 14 weekly nonstop flights with departures at 6:03 AM and 4:54 PM, while JetBlue runs 12 weekly with departures at 9:55 AM and 7:19 PM. Both carriers fly this route daily.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.
What are the ground transportation options in Portland?
From Portland International Airport, the MAX Light Rail Red Line is the most-used option, running directly to downtown in about 45 minutes with frequent service from early morning until past midnight. Taxis, Uber, Lyft, and other rideshares offer a faster door-to-door trip, usually 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, and rental cars are available at the terminal for onward travel. Several shuttle and private car services, plus limos and towncars, round out the choices, and the airport is even bike-accessible with racks and pedestrian paths.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Portland?
Fares from Boston to Portland are lowest in late January, around $396. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $408, followed by February ($426) and September ($454). December is the most expensive month at about $530, and fares peak in late December at about $580. The yearly average is $474. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.
How far in advance should I book tickets from Boston to Portland?
Book about 5 weeks before departure for the best fares from Boston to Portland, around $403. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $527, $124 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $591. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.
Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Boston to Portland?
There is no nonstop red-eye from Boston to Portland, but connecting itineraries do include an overnight leg: Southwest operates a red-eye from Chicago Midway to Portland that departs at 9:45 PM and arrives at 12:15 AM, landing in the early hours after midnight, with a connection at Midway. This is the only red-eye pattern on the route.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.
Which airlines usually operate this route from Boston to Portland?
Alaska Airlines and JetBlue Airways are the airlines currently scheduled non-stop from Boston to Portland, with Alaska operating 14 weekly flights and JetBlue 12 weekly flights, both daily. Alaska Airlines is a member of the oneworld alliance, while JetBlue is not a member of any alliance.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Boston to Portland?
Alaska Airlines flies the Boston–Portland route most, using Boeing 737 family aircraft. JetBlue also serves it nonstop, flying Airbus A321s and A220-300s.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.
