Anybody know what airlines other than United serve Portland? The
"guaranteed" 30-40% savings on United don't apply outside the US,
and I'd like to do some comparison shopping. It would have been
nice if the Usenix mailing had provided this information...

Other airlines that are here include: American, Eastern, Western, Alaska, Continental, PSA, Wien, AirCal, Delta, TWA, Northwest Orient, Frontier, Horizon, Republic Canadians might look into flying to Vancouver BC and then down. Most other routes from Toronto have you changing in someplace like Chicago. Steve Glaser

Western
Alaska Airlines (from the Bay Area & So. Calif.)
Wien Air Alaska (from the Bay Area)
Northwest Orient (from Minneapolis)
Pacific Southwest Airlines
AirCal
Also, I think that there are a couple of other airlines that fly to Portland out
of the Midwest (Continental, Delta, Frontier or Eastern?)

Eastern Airlines has a new service that will be attractive to some. They are running a shipping system with Houston as the hub, and carrying passengers on top. Flights arrive in Houston from many cities (including Portland) after midnight, and leave Houston for many cities about one hour later. Coach fare to or from Houston is $49. So, for example, Newark Airport (serving New York City) ->Houston->Portland = $98. First class is also very reasonable. You are allowed one carryon and one garment bag, but ***no*** baggage can be checked. There are modest advance-booking requirements, but no wierd excursion constraints. I don't know if they serve Canada.
