Avoid it if you can.
We booked our Southwest flight to Portland well ahead of our travel date. The flight to Portland by way of Oakland featured the usual inconveniences, but was largely uneventful.
We changed our return reservation to a day earlier than originally planned. When we got to the baggage counter at PDX we were informed that the flight had been cancelled. A helpful baggage person got us assigned to a later flight. That one ended up being too late to make a connection in Oakland, so we ended up with yet a different flight. In the end we spent about eight hours sitting in Portland's airport.
Our 737 landed in Oakland at the same time our flight onto Albuquerque started boarding. Our arrival gate and the departure gate were at opposite ends of the terminal. Unlike Portland, there were no moving sidewalks at Oakland, so I hobbled along at the best speed I could muster for what seemed like about half a mile. We made it in time to get aboard, but I arrived in pretty poor shape.
