Palm Springs International Airport

Palm Springs International Airport opened in the late 1930s (around 1939) and today operates from a single, compact passenger terminal that handles regional and seasonal traffic for the Coachella Valley. The airport is small but important for leisure travel, sitting just a few miles from downtown Palm Springs with easy access via Highway 111 and I‑10; local SunLine buses, hotel shuttles, taxis, ride‑share and rental cars make connections to nearby Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage and Indio straightforward. Travelers often find competitive, affordable fares to West Coast hubs and seasonal routes, though prices rise during peak winter and festival periods. Carriers with notable service include Southwest, American, Delta, Alaska and JetBlue, along with several seasonal operators.
