Long Beach Airport

Long Beach Airport opened in 1923 and remains a charming, convenient gateway to Southern California with a single compact passenger terminal (roughly 7–10 gates) that keeps things quick and easy. As a small but busy regional airport, it’s a popular alternative to LAX for travelers headed to Long Beach, Seal Beach and nearby Orange County. The airport sits just a few miles from downtown Long Beach with fast access to I-405 and the Pacific Coast Highway, plus local buses, shuttles and light-rail connections within easy reach. Often priced more affordably than larger LA airports, it’s a focus city for JetBlue and is served by major carriers such as Southwest, Alaska, American and Delta.
