  3. My Mom worked at the old LB Municpal Airport for Western Airlines. I loved hanging around there, all the retro building design. The 1950's and 60's were its glory days, seeing different personalities at the airport, and best of all, the wonderful Clouds Restaurant at the top of the terminal. There was some real old days ambiance there, such great memories.

  4. My favorite airport!

  5. thank you so much for the video, can you tell if there is any cart available near passenger drop off location I have two checked in bags and was wondering how could I carry three bags at once , I need to enter the ticketing building first right? I am first time traveling

  6. Fun fact: This is the same airport that was used for the 1985 movie Commando which was dressed for the fictional country Val Verde.

  7. Flying into LGB soon! Since I've always gone to LAX, it's good to see what I can expect here 😃 🌴

  8. I'm about to fly to las vegas and we are departing from this airport

  9. Thank you for posting. Our first time flying into Long Beach so this is helpful.

  10. Great video brother 👍🏼 Just started working there and I have no idea what the inside looks like. Good to have a mental image now

  11. Born and raised in Long Beach California 1951 I flew for Pacific Southwest airlines better known as PSA the airplane with the smile the grinning bird we landed in Long Beach I flew in 1976 to 1979 some of the best days of my life never got caught in the rain by the way
    There was one small greasy spoon restaurant add one ticket counter please don't say it's too small please please please please please don't say it's too small do you want to end up with another LAX on your hands parking problems traffic problems angry people please don't say it's too small😊LGB. Rules😊

  12. I remember having a layover here while flying to PDX and back home on JetBlue. It's a nice airport because you get you walk outdoors ad enjoy the scenery

  13. Hello I am a rideshare driver in the area, sometimes I get people going from Anaheim to this airport. I was hoping to see in your video where the passenger pick up is for rideshare so I know as a driver…

  14. Very good sharing ❤

  15. I fly to LGB as much as possible – even with my flight to Tokyo from LAX I'm still flying to LGB the day before haha

  16. What a great alternative airport!

  17. Shhhh going to unsubscribe for u you because of this lol

  18. I'll never forget the time I left Huntington Beach early (2:30pm) on a Friday afternoon in my truck. Even though I left early it took me 3 hours to get to Victorville on my way to Vegas. Bumper to bumper traffic the whole way. It was the last time I drove to Vegas from the LA area.
    I used to love to take JetBlue from LGB to Vegas. It was a quick 1-hour flight over the mountains and down into the Las Vegas valley watching TV all the way. Parking at the airport was a dream.
    The only thing I didn't like about LGB was that the baggage claim was outside back then (mid- to late-2000s) and yes, I did arrive when it was raining.

  19. Didn’t know this existed and I lived in LA all my life lol

  20. You're the best, Chris! Thank you for making this video and for showing around the Long Beach airport both inside and outside. 🤗🙏It's my favorite.👍😄 It's good that you can wait outside if it's too much to wait inside. If being sensitive to too much noise or having anxiety because of a lot of people, it's perfect to go outside and breathe fresh air before boarding the plane. Do you enjoy visiting the airport even if you don't have travel plans? Maybe just for going to eat something. 🙂😋🍴🧋

  21. LGB airport is terrible. The parking is a joke. The waits. The lines. Don’t do it!!!

    Dude, why are you telling folks about LGB? 😕 send those folks to LAX!! Or Burbank or anywhere else.

  22. Thanks for the info + video!

  23. This looks like it’s even smaller than Burbank…definitely smaller than Ontario or John Wayne (and, seriously?! No jet-bridges?? THAT would definitely be a deal-breaker with my family)

  24. Love flying LBC to Hawaii. ANYTHING to avoid LAX.

  25. I fly out of ONT ( Ontario ) airport, can't beat it

  26. Thanks for the video. I've never visited LGB and next month will month will be the first time. Arriving from Las Vegas

  27. Hi Chris. Nice tor of LGB. I imagine it to be a much larger airport. So much better than LAX. Thanks for sharing, take care and enjoy the Labor Day Weekend.

  28. My favorite airport in socal area is palm springs beautiful outdoor also . Flew out of long Beach in the 80s in a sea plane to Catalina landed on water in avalon

  29. Great informative review as always Christopher! Love flying out of Long Beach for my Southwest flights! Easy and probably the least stressful airport. Always love the outdoor area with the sea breeze coming in.

  30. It all depends on where you live. If you live below La but still reside in the county vs Orange County, then you go to LGB (SNA or JWA though convenient in Oc can be stressful with the steep ascents for the likely wealthy residents to muffle noise complaints of jets taking off, and there’s the 405 freeway right next to the airport where there already have been some
    Landing mishaps because of the freeway being right next to the landing strip).

    If you live in Pasadena and of course Burbank east of LA but still next to LA, then Burbank.

    If you live farther out east like West Covina/diamond bar/Pomona then you go to ONT.

  31. LAX was a nightmare. I secretly love LAX though. I never have flown into long beach though

  32. Thanks for the video. I have picked up family in LGB but never physically visited. What a gem 💎 in LA. They should expand into an international airport just like ONT !

  33. I love flying to Hawaii through LGB

  34. Flylgb ? Is it a joke ?

  35. I've never been. But I've beem to the Burbank Airport. That is a lot better than LAX also

  36. I live in Long Beach and love our little local airport. Much better than LAX.

  37. It's the best airport in Southern California
