mina Posted May 30, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Hi All: We are flying from phx to long beach in October (Diamond!!). The cost is the same to go to any of the surrounding airports as it is to go to LAX. Does anyone have experience with the long beach airport? Will it be really crowded on disembarkation day? Are there any other close airports you would recommend besides LAX? thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ella2 Posted May 30, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Long Beach is a small regional airport, VERY convenient and never crowded. I would definitely choose Long Beach over SNA (Orange County) or LAX to get to a cruise...you're closer as well. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnc411 Posted May 30, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I agree, good choice. I live here near the LB airport, it is a small very convenient airport. Still designed in the 50s style. Baggage pick up easy, one thing you should know is that you board and get off planes via stairs rolled up to the planes out doors, no ramps to the planes. So if anyone you are traveling with is handicapped or has difficulty with stairs, you need to notify the airline so arrangements can be made. Other than that , LB is great , I much prefer it over LAx or Orange County. Cori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloriaF Posted May 30, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2004 We flew into and out of LGB for our recent Regal Hawaii cruise. It is very small as stated and very convenient. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency LGB pre-cruise and got a taxi for $17 to the hotel. When you come out of the terminal and after you have claimed your bags, walk to the right -- the taxi stand is under some trees there.

Commodore Suzy Posted May 31, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2004 VERY wise choice. Its awesome. Spread the word! If you're cruising out of either LA or LB port its the best airport.
