Normally I would agree with you completely, but it sounds like you may not have been through PDX much in the past year. Their latest remodel has made it rather a mess with very long hikes required to get to the gates. But for small airports - I've been going back and forth to Knoxville, TN a lot lately. I think TYS is my favorite airport…

Their latest remodel has made it rather a mess with very long hikes required to get to the gates. But for small airports - I've been going back and forth to Knoxville, TN a lot lately. I think TYS is my favorite airport. I've yet to wait behind more than 2 people at TSA, the walk from dropping off my rental car to being at the gate is typically around 10 min max. A total of about 10 gates (although by numbers they say 12). Great little airport. When you mention Bentonville, you have my sympathies. If it was to visit Walmart perhaps we can meet and compare bullet wounds some day! ;-)
The PDX expansion will be done soon and the new version will be great. Much better than most bigger airports. I have nearly 3M miles of flying and I never had an issue getting from PDX to wherever I needed to go domestically or internationally.
Yes, it has been about a year since my last PDX visit. Doing EUG much more since it is smaller and easier and lower car rentals with less tax. Can take Allegiant from Phoenix (Mesa airport) to EUG for around $100 one way and that holds down American prices.
