What?! A trip to Chicago! You'll be needing a flight from Portland. Well, unless you'd rather walk. And although we agree walking is great exercise, you probably want to get there before the year ends. Luckily, you found us. We can get you a fabulous deal on your flight from PDX to CHI.

How do you get the best deal on a flight from Portland to Chicago?

Hotwire has been doing this for years, so we know a couple ways to snag the best price on your flight to Chicago. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a little know-how.

Which days of the week are cheapest to fly?

Just like a yogi, it pays to be flexible. Those middle children of the work week, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next in line are Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most people like to come back on Sunday so you can save by leaving a day earlier.

What's the Saturday night stay rule?

Staying the weekend at your destination, like Chicago, usually means lower airfare since most people fly during this time. We are all for that!

Can you save while traveling during the off-peak season?

There's good reason that many people travel during certain times of the year -- they want to enjoy incredible weather. Summertime is when Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are at their most popular. Popular Spring Break destinations are New Orleans, California, and Florida. Winter is prime for Mexico and the Caribbean because of its warm weather, as well as ski and snowboard destinations like the Colorado Rockies. Who doesn't love that harvest of autumn colors? The Pacific Northwest, Northern California, and New England are popular this time of the year. If you can plan your trip around these peak seasons, you'll not only save money, but you'll typically avoid the crowds. Win-win in our books.
