When searching for a good deal, it’s best to be prepared for potential fluctuations in price. We recommend booking at least 44 days in advance, which can save you up to 183% on flights from Portland to California compared to booking the week you need them. Waiting 44 days out may not be for everyone, so we have options available for flights within the next two weeks, with the lowest price starting at $377. For sooner than that we have options available in the next 3 days from $656.
Due to multiple factors, expect to potentially pay more when booking in March. For low rates, January can be a great choice for travel to California. Flights to California from Portland in January are about $240 on average during January, but can be found for as low as $99.
When flying from Portland to California, the time of day you decide to fly out makes little to no difference towards the overall price you’ll pay on tickets.

The flight attendant on the flight was extremely unprofessional and obnoxious. He treated the entire plane as if we were on a seventh grade camping trip. He thought he was funny but was actually rude to us while we were on the ground waiting to continue to our final stop. It was like being stuck with a bad comedian for four solid hours. We flew from Chicago to Long Beach to Reno over 5 hours and they did not have any food other then graham crackers. Because of being delayed no one had time to get food in the airport between flights. Terrible experience and Southwest should look into this crew member.
