The Oregonian: "Lufthansa Airlines (a member of the Star Alliance) will announce today that it plans to launch daily nonstop flights between its Frankfurt hub and Portland (PDX). Portland beat out Seattle and a handful of unidentified cities for the flights." Service is scheduled to start March 31, 2003 and tickets are already available via Lufthansa's web site. This is a good day for Portland and Oregon. Learn more about the PDX Master Plan.
Addendum: And the new federal Transportation Safety Administration took over control of security at PDX October 8 and completed the transition Tuesday. If they are as professional and efficient as those in Austin, it will be a welcome change for PDX, which has received a lot of bad press over the past year for its security screeners.
I just visited the TSA web site for the first time and found it very refreshing in its simple, usable and professional design. One reference worth reviewing: Travel Tips
