Portland International Airport (PDX) has been named the best in the U.S. for the third consecutive year by readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine.

Criteria by which airports were judged included location, access, ease of connections, customs and baggage, food, shops and amenities, comfort and design, and perceived safety and security.

The magazine made special note of PDX’s environmental commitment.

“Portland’s airport takes being green seriously. New solar panels produce electricity, low-flush toilets save 80,000 gallons of water per day, and food waste is turned into compost.”
