Small but ample airport…read more Boarding and off boarding is efficient. Nice weather most of the time. Restaurants are good and expensive. Yet quick meal is ok. Often there are delays. But nice area to sit at for the wait. My favorite airport to transit this far. Not too large that it's overwhelming or too much to walk.

They've restored the tile artwork inset into the floors and did a great job. It's so peaceful now that it's hard to picture this having hosted those very busy, jam-packed airline check-in counters back in the day. LGB just keeps getting better and better. I love this airport!

I was Flying out of the LBC !!!!…read more The Folks at the Southwest Airlines Gate were so Nice and Welcoming! They Reassigned seating on the Aircraft so I could have an Aisle Seat!! They assigned an Assigned A Gate Agent to assist me out to the Airplane!!! The Flight Attendants were very Helpful and Accommodating! This is a Baller On A Budget Approved Airline!!!

Their new seat assignments don't work. I bought a basic ticket (where they give you seating…read moreassignment at the gate) but when I go to check in, I see they have put me on standby. But I have the option to upgrade the ticket and be guaranteed a seat, which seems slimy but I paid an extra 99.00 to be guaranteed. I check in but they next day I see I have been put on standby again, because I didn't also purchase an upgraded seat, the only seats still available are handicap seats and those are locked until the handicapped people check in. So 45 min before my flight I am cleared. I'm on the window of the very last row but whatever. Then we are on the plane, and 40 mins after scheduled departure time(3:25) we haven't left and the captain comes on and says the plane has turned into a pumpkin - there was to be a mandatory check in our destination and if we had been in the air by 359 it would have been fine but since we weren't, the mandatory check had to happen at the departure airport and we are now deplaning. I almost always fly American but the southwest terminal at lax is so much nicer I thought I would take a chance. After spending more than I would have on an American flight, I'm fine with southwest. The last few experiences weren't great but this was the last straw. STAY AWAY if you want to actually want to get somewhere. Even Spirit is superior. I fly every week and my experiences with southwest are the worst. If I could give zero stars I would!!

They looked at me like they had no idea what I was talking about. One officer yelled to the other one , Whatever you do don't open it. The person at the front of the line was rude. Then I went through the scanner another officer patted me down for having on a long expensive sweater, a present from my daughter. Her response was, next time don't wear that. Absolutely the stupidest experience I have ever had in an airport.

This was my first time using the Cell Phone Waiting Lot near the Long Beach Airport. It was the…read moreclosest cell phone lot to a terminal that I've ever been to. From here, one can see the planes coming in for landing. It is within walking distance of the pickup area, thus can get to the pickup area within 1 minute of being notified, under most circumstances (though I did read on reddit that it can be very long when a lot of cars are waiting). The parking lot has over 100 parking spots, and maybe 10 of them were occupied during my 30 minute wait there. It has the same rules as other cell lots: cars must be attended at all times and is meant only for very short waiting periods. I was a bit confused though: There are signs around the parking lot stating that no public parking is allowed.

Outlets were avaliable for a long flight but keep on mind, you need a plug outlet that connects to your device. Snacks were provided with a complimentary alcoholic punch beverages along with an egg sandwich. Overall, I would fly out of Long Beach Airport to take Hawaiian Airlines going to Maui. 4 stars, since an LCD entertainment screen was not available. Mahalo

Flew Hawaiian airlines first class yesterday from Maui into Long Beach airport. Flight was smooth,…read moresafe and the pilot's communicated well regarding what to expect upon departure and before arrival. Minimal turbulence. Kid had a rough time & was crying on the plane due to skin infection but I was able to cope through the 4 hour 40 min flight by comforting him at the front of the cabin and we also stayed in the restroom for some time. First class passengers were accommodating for the most part and we had staff that helped with bandages and drinks. I did not get to experience the Hawaiian meal service since I was so exhausted from carrying my child the entire time. Didn't eat at all. Guess I'll have to look forward to that next time. Forgot my phone in row 1 upon landing but their cleaning crew came to hand me the phone after baggage claim ended. Overall the plane ride was good -- service was OK -- and I'm so thankful my family landed safely after enduring 2 hours of a tearful toddler feeling miserable on the flight. At least we had some quiet time for the other 3 hours while he slept from crying too much. Phew - just relieved the entire episode is over.
