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 Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis to Portland.
What is the typical flight duration from Minneapolis to Portland?
Flights from Minneapolis to Portland cover about 1,420 miles. The typical nonstop flight takes 3 hours and 35 minutes, while the return leg from Portland to Minneapolis runs about 3 hours and 20 minutes. The westbound flight is the longer of the two directions.
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 Minneapolis to Portland?
Delta and Alaska Airlines fly nonstop from Minneapolis to Portland, with Delta operating up to 34 weekly flights and Alaska one daily flight, both running every day of the week. Delta's departures span from morning through late evening, while Alaska's single daily departure leaves in the evening.
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?
Getting from Portland International Airport to downtown is straightforward, with the MAX Light Rail Red Line offering direct, reliable service to the city center in about 45 minutes. TriMet buses, taxis, app-based rideshares like Uber and Lyft, rental cars, shuttles, and limo or towncar services are all available at the airport. The MAX Red Line is the most-used option for its affordability and frequency, running from early morning until just after midnight. Rideshares and taxis are the fastest door-to-door choices, while rental cars are best for exploring beyond Portland. Bicycles and pedestrian access are also available for those staying near the airport.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Minneapolis to Portland?
Fares from Minneapolis to Portland are lowest in late January, around $499. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $509, followed by October ($519) and November ($526). March is the most expensive month at about $611, and fares peak in late March at about $627. The yearly average is $560. 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 Minneapolis to Portland?
Book about 7 weeks before departure for the best fares from Minneapolis to Portland, around $436. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $623, $187 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $548. 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.

There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Minneapolis to Portland. A connecting overnight option exists via Chicago Midway on Southwest, departing at 21:45 and arriving in Portland at 00:15 (in the early hours, just after midnight), with a roughly 1 hour 15 minute layover in Chicago.
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 Minneapolis to Portland?

Delta flies the route most often, with up to 5 daily departures and 34 weekly flights, while Alaska Airlines offers one daily flight, 7 days a week. Delta is a SkyTeam member, and Alaska Airlines belongs to oneworld.
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.
How reliable are on‑time arrivals on this route from Minneapolis to Portland?

Methodology
On-time arrival and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; a flight counts as on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of schedule. Carriers are ranked by arrival on-time rate on this route, and the carrier list itself comes 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).

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Minneapolis to Portland?
Delta Air Lines flies the route most, operating Boeing 737 family and Airbus A320 family aircraft, while Alaska Airlines also flies it with Boeing 737 family aircraft. Delta currently has the most nonstop service on the route, with Alaska also offering daily flights.
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.

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.
