PORTLAND, ORE. (April 30, 2012) – Visit Facebook Friends with PDX Friend Connector

Portland International Airport’s new PDX Friend Connector helps travelers find the cheapest airfares to visit Facebook friends, and go.

Travelers can find the PDX Friend Connector at www.pdx.com under the “nonstop destinations” tab. Then, as prompted, travelers just log in with their Facebook account and the PDX Friend Connector will display the lowest fares to visit their Facebook friends during the next 90 days. Travelers can sort trips by the names of friends, airfare prices, and travel distances that are displayed as part of a global map of friends. Airfares are located by KAYAK.com.

“Part of our mission at the Port of Portland is connecting our community with the people and places they want to visit for work and for fun, and the PDX Friend Connector supports that goal,” said David Zielke, Port general manager of air service development.

The new feature is offered by the Port in partnership with its developer Sparkloft Media/GoSeeTell Network, Inc. PDX is served by 13 airlines, providing nonstop service to 53 domestic and five international destinations, which makes visiting friends even faster.
