Default Portland area airport recommendations

My main requirement is that public transportation be available from
the airport to downtown.


The MAX goes directly to PDX now so you can ride the train downtown.
I'm not sure what the logistics are like to get from Flightcraft
to the terminal area and MAX access. I don't know what the fees are
like, but I balk at the cost of parking my *car* there.

TTD is very close to PDX (in a cutout of the class C) and is much
closer to downtown than HIO. There are no landing fees there.
Probably a bus or short cab ride downtown.

HIO is farther out and no real advantage over TTD unless you really
want to avoid Portland's airspace. If you're coming from the Seattle
area it's a little easier to get to due to the arrangement of SEA's
surface area and some restricted areas between PDX and SEA. I'd
rather spend the extra time flying than driving, though.
