For a wider selection of origins into the Medford region and often lower fares, many travelers fly into Portland International Airport (PDX) (approx. 4.5 hours drive from Medford) or San Francisco International (SFO) (approx. 6 hours drive from Medford) and then drive to Medford. Always compare the total cost (flight + ground transport) of flying directly into MFR versus flying into a major hub airport and driving to Medford.
