Closing Thoughts
There are now five lounges at the PDX airport and three Priority Pass-eligible restaurants. The Escape lounge is the only Priority Pass-eligible lounge at PDX airport, so the opening is great news for travelers. The lounge is also open a whopping 20 hours daily, which is also nice when travelling early or late.
