• Shortcut win: Arriving passengers will take a “magic door” (normally an emergency exit) straight to the arrivals curb. It’s quicker than the usual route – consider it a little win in the middle of the changes!
• Connecting flights: Connecting passengers will need to head back to the ticket lobby to re-clear security. Those travelers will get an "express pass" to skip to the front of the TSA line.
• Meet and greet in a different spot: For people meeting these arriving passengers, they’ll need to meet at the curb or in baggage claim. If you see folks waiting at the steps for their arriving friends or family between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m., feel free to check if their party is coming from Concourse B gates.
• Help is always close by: PDX People will be there to guide travelers through the process. And folks like you can stay knowledgeable of these changes so you can help answer questions for any passengers needing extra guidance.

Smoking Area: Because of the Concourse E detour, the smoking area on the north upper roadway moved from the inner to outer roadway.

Stadium Steps: Through the end of the month, there will be work on the steps as crews install a walnut inlay to act as a warning strip. Only one set will close at a time, and the escalators and main staircases will not be impacted.

Baggage Claim: Now through the end of the month, expect intermittent increased noise in baggage claim near carousels 3 through 6 as crews prepare the floor for terrazzo installation.
