The new terminal is BALLIN'! Awesome, non-chain gourmet food.. I like the smell of brand new ;)
Ben BJanuary 29, 2012Welcome to Long Beach Airport; a small & cute airport, no stress and craziness like at big brother LAX, enjoy yourself!!
Joey TowbinMarch 30, 2015A fun and quick alternative to LAX or SNA. However, tickets are typically a little pricier here.
Two cell phone lots, one by airport loop and one across Lakeview Blvd
Niña 🌺January 4, 2013The renovation turned out great! I prefer LGB over LAX, much easier to get around and faster check in.
Harrison PainterJuly 12, 2011Officially one of my favorite airports. Security is friendly and fast, and it has that 1965 vibe to it.
Very nice, they did a great overhaul to this airport. Loving it.
Stop by the sky lounge bar on the 2nd floor. Good beer.
Definitely better than the chaos of LAX, but I'm sure it'll be a nightmare if it's raining (that open courtyard is just asking for trouble).
Monique HartlMay 27, 2013Love the outdoor section and restaurants - soaking up all the weather I can before my flight.
Best way to find <$100 round trip deals from San Francisco to LA is to fly JetBlue from SFO to Long Beach! Woot!
New terminal is so chic! Great food & beverage options!
Portland Real Estate GroupJune 28, 2012Great fast airport. So easy compared to other LA area airports. Worth a little drive
Great, quick security check, away from the craziness of LAX and Jet Blue boards both end of the plane
Katrina EricksonJune 22, 2013Love the rebuild!!! It's so nice in here.. So much better than going through the security line outside!!
Stephanie Nichols FordMay 6, 2012Love this airport. Quaint, small but efficient. No frills though so be prepared.
Mo DysonNovember 20, 2018Looks like a cruise ship. Can’t unsee this once you realize it. You’re welcome. 😅
Where else can you check-in and go through TSA in under ten minutes? Best airport ever.
Very clean, but still not enough room. Gets overcrowded quickly.
Cole Martin TrainorJune 30, 2013Enjoy the birds who don't have any fear of being indoors ... Just don't let them enjoy your phoodz.
If you get here in 20 minutes, you still fly through security and be boarded in no time.
Love the new terminals. Nice open layout and lots of food.
Small airport and you can be in and out in 10 mins or less
Lily LMay 31, 2011Definitely a lot closer and quicker than LAX. Even if it was a holiday weekend, I don't think anyone will feel packed or as stuck as LAX.
Parking and Security are fast! Always use LGB or SNA and avoid LAX whenever possible.
Sam ChaninAugust 23, 2011Yes yes yes. The best way to fly to Cali. Can't get wet in the rain if your renting a car. It's literally right outside the door. Sam Chanin- Paul BinghamMarch 19, 2013New terminal is quite a change. Many power outlets and Fast wifi for waiting at the gates.
