Flight
We love JetBlue & Southwest , but PWM is also served by American Airlines, Delta, Frontier, and United. Rental cars are also conveniently located at the airport.
Train
For a scenic ride from Boston's North Station to the Portland Transportation Center, we recommend the Amtrak Downeaster!
Travel Note
There are several nice hotels in downtown Portland close to lots of great restaurants, bars, and scenery. When considering hotel options, you can also look near the airport, which will be cheaper and definitely not far at all, or, there are many small towns just around Portland that are a 10-20 minute drive into the city and may offer cheaper alternatives. Old Orchard Beach (to the south) and Freeport (to the north) are fun to visit, but also look at Scarborough, Westbrook, Falmouth, South Portland, and Cape Elizabeth. There are lots of private residences available in both Portland and surrounding towns on VRBO and AirBnB that may be similar in price (or less!) than a hotel if you are looking for a unique and nice stay in Maine, or wish to book a larger place with friends.
