FAQs for booking flights from Portland to Tampa

  • Will my family be seated together throughout the journey from Portland to Tampa?

    Families with children love traveling with American Airlines for good reasons: The airline ensures that anyone flying with a child under 15 remains together. Their system can detect a family and search for the most suitable spots. Ensure everyone is included while making your flight reservations through KAYAK. The earlier you book, the better because seats will be less as the departure date approaches. Use the seat map to select seats for your family.

  • Can I get a budget-friendly airline with no middle seat?

    There are more advantages to not being in the middle seat when flying. Luckily, Silver Airways airplanes have no middle seats, and there are no cabin classes. You'll either sit on a window or aisle seat, reducing the disturbance of nearby passengers asking to move past you when going to the lavatory.

  • What are the requirements for flying with a pet in a passenger cabin?

    The recommended size of a kennel is 18 x 11 x 11 inches. Delta Air Lines requires pets to fit in a small, well-ventilated kennel (on three sides) to fit underneath the seat directly in front of you. Your pet must move comfortably inside its container, which must be leak-proof and have a secure door. Ensure your pet remains in the carrier when boarding, alighting, and at the airport lounges.

  • On which airlines can I buy carbon offsets?

    Flights contribute to carbon emissions that lead to warmer climates and planet degradation. JetBlue has a carbon fund whereby eco-friendly passengers can buy offsets. The funds are used in projects geared toward cleaning the air with solar and wind power technologies and conserving the Brazilian rainforest.

  • What is the cheapest flight from Portland to Tampa?

    In the last 3 days, the lowest price for a flight from Portland to Tampa was $73 for a one-way ticket and $163 for a round-trip.

  • Do I need a passport to fly between Portland and Tampa?

    Even though you are not required to have a passport, keep in mind that an official ID is needed to board the airplane.

  • Which airlines offer Wi-Fi service onboard planes from Portland to Tampa?

    JetBlue, American Airlines, and Delta offer inflight Wi-Fi service on the Portland to Tampa flight route.

  • Which aircraft models fly most regularly from Portland to Tampa?

    The Airbus A220-300 is the aircraft model that flies most regularly on the Portland to Tampa flight route.

  • Which airline alliances offer flights from Portland to Tampa?

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Portland to Tampa?

KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Portland to Tampa

  • Looking for a cheap flight? 25% of our users found flights on this route for $77 or less one-way and $193 or less round-trip.
  • To connect through Washington, D.C., consider flying with American Airlines and stopping at Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA). Sometimes, they offer connections through Charlotte Douglas Airport (CLT) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). If you prefer the New York City route, use JetBlue and stop at LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Atlanta Airport (ATL) and Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) are the usual stops for Delta Air Lines, while United Airlines' layover can be at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) or Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD).
  • You don't have to overpay for your bags and other add-ons on this route. While many airlines charge for extra bags, Southwest allows you to fly from Portland International Jetport (PWM) to Tampa International Airport (TPA) with two checked bags for no cost. Bring a carry-on bag – it won't count against your baggage allowance.
  • If your flight has a stopover, say PWM-LGA-TPA, ensure that your seat has plenty of legroom, as your flight time will likely last more than 6 hours. JetBlue standard seats are more spacious than most airlines. The pitch or space between seats is 32" on A320 and 33" on A321. Claim the maximum legroom (37" -41") by paying extra.
  • Book a flight with Breeze Airways to upgrade your fare to a higher class. The low-budget carrier offers three categories of fare: Nice, Nicer, and Nicest, similar to Economy, Business, and First Class flights. Any class you switch to will be free of change fees.
  • Nursing mothers can board American Airlines planes with soft-sided breastmilk coolers, moms' breast pumps, and one baby item. Such items are not checked, so you can still have them even when not flying with an infant. Moreover, the airline staff will show you their designated nursing rooms at the airports, such as the lactation room at the Airside on the Concourse level, near gates five and six of Portland International Jetport (PWM).

Airline reviews

I normally have very good experiences with Breeze. The crew is great, pricing is excellent, and the planes are new and usually clean. This time in Huntsville we were delayed, which I understand can happen, however we were moved from one gate to the opposite side of the terminal and then back again... There was a lot of confusion. Also, my seat had a lot of food crumbs still on the floor where I had to stow my bookbag, so that was a bit disappointing. Other than that, all was good. Crew was great as usual!

Also, my seat had a lot of food crumbs still on the floor where I had to stow my bookbag, so that was a bit disappointing. Other than that, all was good. Crew was great as usual!

Our flight was delayed 7 hours. Due to a change in equipment we were downgraded from "Nicest" to "Nicer," even having to pay for a soft drink. Disappointing. To Breeze's credit that issued a $100 flight credit. A refund would have been more appreciated.

Lost my luggage and terrible experience with customer service trying to track it down

10 hour delay with minimal updates. Couldn’t leave terminal and then ended up on redeye with a dirty broken plane. It is literally impossible to reach customer service via gate agent, app, phone, text or email.

I thought that I had pre-purchased carry-on luggage and was surprised when I tried to check in that I did not have it.

Flight departure was 90 min delayed, and the boarding experience was confused, stressful, and generally poor. Additionally, the wifi on the plane was malfunctioning for all but the final 15 min of the flight into ILM.

Great experience and In love flying in and out of Provo airport

You get what you pay for. It’s like a bus but flying. No frills, no snacks. Leg room was fine, boarding was good.

Overall good. Plenty of legroom and fairly comfortable seats. No issues with capacity and the overhead been even though most people brought several carry-ons on. I don’t think Breeze really enforces the pay for a carry-on rule.

Surprised at how much I enjoyed Breeze. Paid for the Nicer upgrade which made it closer in price to a flag ship carrier but with more comfortable seats and much more leg room. Crew was polite and since we brought our food no loss there. Would make the point that the ‘have to pay for a carry-on is BS’. Most people did not and had several. Still was plenty of room in the overheads.

The entire experience from boarding to landing was amazing! The crew were very friendly. Will definitely be back.

no service at all due to turbulence. they should've at least given us snacks, there were only 10 people on the entire flight.

First time I've had to use the disabled accommodations. And I could not have had a better experience with Southwest, i was having trouble getting from one terminal to another due to my heart failure. And the next thing I know a Southwest agent had made sure. I had a wheelchair at all my flights. Can't thank them enough.

Delayed flight, lack of information, boarding process is a mess as is the carryon luggage causing issues when leaving the plane….just a poor experience.

Comfortable. Easy. No problems. Just wish they had gf options for snacks.

The crew was very kind and made going to Hawaii relaxing and fun to look forward to! Thank you Southwest for a pleasant flight!

This leg was much better, but we did have to have a 3 hour lay o er after coming from a very exhausting hiccup with our flight from BNA to Den

We waited in the airplane for over 45 min for a southwest employee to make the flight. This cause over half the plane to miss their connecting flight in Denver. When we confronted the desk upon arrival, they told us the only flight they had was the next day leaving at 8:50 pm!!! Or they offered to get us to Burbank or LA, but after that we were on our own to get back to Santa Barbara. I paid for a flight from sba to bna bna to sba. My re entry into mom mode has been 💯 rough because of southwest mistake with my flight. And now I’m leaving to Reno tomorrow for a vballl tournament and just discovered that my leg in Vegas has me and my 3 kids on a stand by flight even though I had booked these ticket last year November!! Do better southwest!

Southwest is kind of a slum airline. It’s gotten more expensive over the years for less and less service. I am a Southwest Chase Visa card holder and was forced to choose a seat in the 26th row in the middle seat. However my wife who is a rewards member but doesn’t hold a card or anything else, gets randomly assigned a normally paid seat in row 6! How does that work?

For the first time in a long time, the Wi-Fi actually worked the entire flight! The flight crew was amazing as usual.

Overall Good! The weather delayed our takeoff from Atlanta and our arrival in Miami! If Mother Nature can mess up a flight she will do it every time!

N Everything was perfect from boarding to assistance to baggage in Tampa

Snacks and included beverages were appreciated. Boarding went smoothly. Plenty of overhead bin space. Seats get very uncomfortable after a couple of hours. After waiting 10 painful minutes for my walker, a very nice Delta guest agent pushed me in a wheelchair to the gate. It was finally delivered to me after another 15 minutes . Our checked bag was on the carousel long b4 I was able to retrieve it. Fortunately it was still there but somewhere along the way the straps we used to secure it were removed and and were not reattached. Wish I had made note of the agents name.

The whole experience was excellent. As it most often is with Delta

We waited an hour on the runway to get a gate in Orlando

Flight was delayed by 3-hours and their fix was… complimentary pretzels.

The staff on board and gate was nice - a welcome change from the usual. We also arrived early, which was a great benefit, given that it takes 30 minutes plus to get bags at SRQ.

They took all carry-on luggage from Groups 6 -9 - I was group 5 and waiting in line to board - they made me check my luggage too. That then went to baggage claim and delayed departure from the airport. There was overhead room in my seating area - Delta over reacted. Also, had a gentleman next to me that took up 1/2 my seat.

Sorry I didn't realize I was writing a review for each leg. Please see my previous review - it applies to the entire flight, not just a single leg.

boarded at 5:30 pm, pushed away from gate at 6pm ... takeoff was not until ~6:45pm; disappointing

Booked through Kayak Business, had a seat in middle and towards back due to booking rate, not comfortable.

Was great in general, try to respect time and excuses when slight changes have been made, appreciated!

A long delay. Don't travel late in the day.

Super friendly with lots of drink options an entertainment. Friendly crew.

Standard flight with a drinks and a snack- overall very quick flight. The flight attendants were very strict, bordered on rude.

Outstanding service, efficient & friendly crew, flight was safe, comfortable & on time

Delayed - weather wasn't bad at either end. Also sat on tarmac in ORD.

They told us yesterday APR21st that they were cleaning the plane and we got delayed. After that they said they didn't had any crew for the flight so they cancelled the flight till next day.

The crew was great. Very friendly and responsive. The plane was old, small and tight. We ran out of overhead space and I had to check. Middle seat was particularly tight.

The flight crew on this leg of my trip was very friendly and pleasant. Every one of them was humorous, as well as helpful and accommodating. This group was BY FAR the best crew I’ve flown with. They deserve kudos.

Flight left early and arrived 30 MINUTES early at the destination. Smooth trip.

I was able to get the AA customer Service desk to put me on an earlier flight without any issues.

Incredibly delayed. First delay was due to plane coming in being late. Resulted in 30 minute delay. Boarded and then had multiple mechanical issues. Was on plane for an hour until they told people they could get off if they wanted but couldn't come back. Then gate agent rushed in and said they had lost control of who went off and we would all have to deplane and then get back on. They said flight had not been cancelled. Then while sitting waiting to board again they announced it would take two hours to get new plane and to wait at new gate. New plane arrived, reboarded only to find out that pilots had timed out. Waited for new pilots. In that time one of the flight attendants timed out. Never received food or water while waiting. Was confusing mess as to what was happening. Even flight attendants and gate agents were getting frustrated. Almost 6 hours delayed. Called American to received flight credit but can't get anywhere as Kayak reservation and don't have a ticket number. Reached out to Kayak but never heard back.

Very disappointing. Flight was delayed by 1.5 hours and food options are very underwhelming even for first class seats (same food given to economy seats)

Was not able to do a online check-in because the American Airlines system doesn't store our visa or other passport information, allowing us to have a trouble-free check-in. We were forced to have to check-in at the counter which Changes are upgrade status given that we were not able to check in much earlier.

Incoming flight was delayed, delaying boarding. It then took 30 mins to take off. Took 20 mins to get to a gate because they changed the gate last minute, crew weren’t ready so there was no one staffed to work the jet bridge. Boarding was so disorganized as is usual with American because everyone just stands around the gate regardless of boarding group.

I would have liked vegetarian and gluten free options for evening dinner time flight. I would have like a pillow on the international overnight flight . The veg wrap and oaten desert on the international flight was good

We hoarded. Then we deplaned. Then we waited for 10 hours in the MSP airport due to a wheel misfunction. We understand safety but communication between crew and airport staff was horrible. When we did finally board, we were rushed on and because we were waiting for a “fresh” pilot and crew, we sat in a roasting plane with no A/C for an hour. My question is why was this flight not cancelled right away when they knew this would be a huge issue OR, why did AA not get a substitute plane, considering this was already a full flight? To me, this appears to be a complete breakdown in leadership and utter systems failure. The compensation for completely disrupting travel plans for hundreds, which we paid dearly for, was measly. While we appreciated the lodging for the night, $12 in meal vouchers isn’t going to sustain anyone for over 12 hours. “We apologize; our hands are tied” is no longer an acceptable explanation. We are so completely turned off by this experience and will definitely seek alternative avenues when we need to fly.

Check in was rough because the check in crew did not know how to manage my international visa documents. Required a long process and 4 people to finally be able to proceed to security. They told us incorrect information several times before acknowledging we did indeed have everything we needed from the start.

Mechanical issue delayed us 2hrs and then once we landed sat on tarmac for 30mins because someone left a vehicle in front of the gaye
