Long Beach Airport - Airport in Long Beach - 4100 Donald Douglas Dr, USA

From the light blue and white decor to the sand dune landscaping, it really captures the laidback coastal vibe of Southern California. Even though it's a smaller regional airport, they've managed to create a cute, theme-park like atmosphere that makes you feel like you're stepping onto the beach instead of an airport terminal. What I also appreciated about Long Beach Airport is how compact yet convenient it is. With only one terminal and concourses, it's easy to navigate from check-in to security to your gate without much walking. And the parking structure is literally right outside the terminal entrance. This made dropping off and picking up very quick and stress-free.

What a nice airport! The vibe feel like walking on a high street. It’s very chill and no-rush vibe. Food-wise: I went in the early morning but the fridges are empty. They didn’t fill it until 9:30am (3hr gap or more). My flight was also an hour delayed.

I haven't used this airport for over a decade, and it is still an easy in and out airport when coming to LA instead of going through LAX. The airport is still undergoing renovation, but the seating area doesn't have any USB ports, so you'll need to bring a power adapter.

Easy, smooth, small airport. You can walk from the car rental place to the airport in less than 5 minutes. They have valet parking. They have a bar, restaurant, store, and several restrooms. They have one charging station for phones, tablets, and laptops. You must have the box no USB ports. This is in the Gates 1-4 area.

Cute airport, love the semi-outdoor layout. Security is a breeze, though the baggage claim sometimes can be slow, and the pickup/dropoff line isn't bad either. Overall, super easy to travel in and out of if you're visiting the area! Bonus tip, if the coffee line is long near gates 5-11, the coffee by gate 4 is probably short.

This airport has new constructed building. The older building is currently on construction. The terminal has its own building and the baggage claim area is separated as well. Once entering the departure waiting area, there is a lot of people the time i went. Few fast food restaurants options you can choose from.

Kind of sad to see my favorite little airport growing into a bigger, newer, more hectic airport similar to other airports. Still a great airport, with a lot of charm, pretty efficient, and friendly people. Beer is WAY OVERPRICED! Still preferable to SNA for convenience and friendliness. Prices are many times a little lower that similar flights in/out of Phoenix, and even more so with flights to/from Hawaiian Islands. I love the outdoor areas for travelers to hang out while waiting for flights.

Long Beach Airport is a well-designed and pleasant experience compared with LAX. This is a small airport just south of LA, and was recommended to me to use instead of LAX(a pit!) I actually bought the person a gift. The airport is small and easy to get thru, but big enough to catch some sleep in after partying in Catalina or just waiting for your flight. Clean, with no smell, bugs, or overly annoying people. There are very few amenities, but you’re out in 5 minutes after getting off your plane. Worth money to avoid LAX.
