Here’s a quick tour of some of the festive decorations and holiday events at airports this year. And some tips on when Santa might be at your airport.

At Portland International Airport (PDX), there will be free cider and crafts for kids on Saturday, December 20 all day long at the Loyal Legion beer hall up on pre-security mezzanine.
Then, on Saturday, Dec. 27, at noon, there will a free PDX screening of Oregon’s favorite film, “The Goonies,” with Miss Hannah’s popcorn samples and kid-friendly crafts.
Visitors can get a 2-hour parking voucher with a $20+ purchase at participating pre-security businesses. And keep in mind, Oregon has no sales tax…
