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!!

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!!

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.

Our room was absolutely filthy. There was dust and grime buildup on all of the ledges, stains, crumbs, hair, dust, along the bed frame and in the crevices of the chair. just no attention to detail at all. we did contact the owner and opted to leave and were provided a full refund, but the kind of build up that was in that room was either from a long term stay that wasn't cleaned up properly or just terrible cleaning over and over. side note: wifi signal was not good, bedding was bare minimum and no hand towels or face cloths provided. I'm not looking to trash the owners, I just don't want anyone to be in the same situation we were, having to look for another place last minute after a long day of traveling, I was almost in tears, plus I had to pay way more to stay somewhere else because there weren't a lot of options.

I've been to Long Beach a few times this past year for conferences and events and usually am…read morestaying at the big box hotels that are immediately adjacent to the Convention Center (like the Hyatt Regency, The Renaissance, The Westin) but I was late to the game to reserve a room this time and missed getting the discounted conference block rate. So rather than pay an astronomical fee for the privilege of proximity, I did a quick search of the area. There are plenty of options, but many of them just seemed suspect. The I came across the Varden. Definitely a boutique hotel, but definitely worth checking out. The rooms are typically small with barely room for a bed, a partial desk and a small bathroom area. But the room was extremely clean, the fixtures and bed were new and cool and for one person, really perfect. Particularly since other than sleeping and checking emails, what else do you really need? Well, for starters you need to feel safe. And this place does a great job of securing the facility at night, but you don't feel you're in a bad neighborhood anyway. You also might like to enjoy a welcoming attitude, and the staff and place has plenty of that. The young staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Being forewarned that the property has 3 levels and no elevator is important, but honestly, it's not a tough climb to floor 3. And as a testament at how great the staff are, they wouldn't take no, and they carried my bags to my 3rd floor room. Since I was there for meetings, I needed to press my clothes, so a call to the front desk resulted in a brand new Iron and Board appearing at my room within minutes. And being welcomed by a reception with snacks, wine and drinks between 5:00 - 7:00 everyday, is just super nice. They also do a continental breakfast from 6:00-9:00 daily. They have a hip space right behind the registration area for these treats so it's easy to walk through on your way in/out of the property. And best of all the price per night was less than 1/2 of what those big chain hotels were charging. And I was less than 4 blocks (and a very nice walk past lots of local stores/restaurants to give me a feel for the area) from the Convention Center. For all these reasons, if you're in Long Beach solo, I would highly recommend you check out the Varden.

My family had purchased airline tickets from LAX to Phnom Penh, Cambodia through this agency, and when we heard of the arrest, we called to confirm reservations with the airline. I was told that the airline did not receive payment for the seats listed on our itinerary! I went to the business to see what contact info was listed, but saw that there was a posting by the building management that the storefront was deemed abandoned due to non-payment of rent. Additional information was posted to contact the Long Beach Police Department to file a police report. Inside was completely vacated except for debris and trash strewn about the floor. So.. after leaving there, I found out my dad had bought calling cards from Cambodia Express. Tried them out to find that all nine cards had accounts that were suspended! Boo!! to this business... also beware of their sister business from which they branched off of--PHNOM PENH EXPRESS & WATER. It is owned by the same family.

My mother also had purchased 3 tickets from Cambodia Express and we just found out today that they…read morehad scammed us. It all started out with my sister emailing that company to ask them if we can book an earlier flight. We received an email back stating that they are so sorry but the business was shut down due to fraud and that the owner, Kunthie Pich was arrested. I was in disbelief, because we had purchased it since April. I called Korea air to confirm the tickets the lady who answered the phone stated that the tickets were cancelled and that money had already been refunded to the agency. I told her that we didnt receive the money she said that I would have to contact the agency. Sure enough the number that was given to us was cancelled. I finally called the Long Beach Police Department and left a message with the detective whos in charge of the case. Will we receive anything back from them??? I highly doubt it. This is the first time that its happened to us. What do we do from here???

We've used the Cranky Concierge for two separate international trips within the past 18 months,…read morewith complex planning elements, and we couldn't be happier! The fee is extremely reasonable and the folks work as team members covering your needs 24/7. It's the first company that I worked with involving multiple team members - and there was no drop in service or any miscommunication given how many team members could be involved (depending on the time of day that you are contacting them). The first trip (in 2024) involved flights to/from South Africa. I decided to use them when the international connections and requirements became more than I could manage while working a high stress job (who needs more stress planning a vacation?). The advantage of their services were immediately apparent but became a Godsend when - unfortunately - my father became gravely ill and I was contemplating sending my family ahead of me, and then connecting with them somewhere mid-trip (depending on how my father was doing). The team was immediately helpful, offering a variety of flight options depending on when exactly I planned to connect with my family. The second trip (in 2025) involved flight itineraries to the Isle of Man, connecting through Manchester. The flights needed to be at a certain time in order to catch a ferry to the Isle of Man. Furthermore, between booking the flight and the actual travel day, there were changes in requirements for those passing through Great Britain - something that we would not have really known about if someone in the travel industry did not bring it to our attention. Next year, we will likely do a multi-city trip to Europe and we will definitely use them again to book the flight to and within that continent!

The great thing was they had excellent employees routing the traffic to different lanes to help the traffic flow so much better. As soon as we parked at drop off an employee got a cart and started putting my parents luggages on it. Extremely helpful, and patient with my parents. I was probably in and out in maybe about 15 minutes. From waiting in line to get in, to the drop off, unloading and leaving.

Very easy to access cruise terminal used by Carnival Cruise Lines…read more Lots of parking via the multi level parking structure, and helpful porters, I would tip $1+ per bag checked. Just drop off passengers and luggage and then park if driving to the port. On my sailing there were numerous lines dependent on both scheduled boarding time, and loyalty status with Carnival $CCL. If standing in a line is a physical issue make that clear to the staff directing the cruise guests. It took more than 30 minutes to board, but once inside the terminal the air is slightly cooled. FYI, review the current item / beverage restrictions / limitations. In my case a white noise generator was removed from my checked bag because it was mistaken for an audio speaker. Overall a positive experience both boarding and departing, with easy to navigate ramps and clear direction in the terminal, and large ample elevators in the garage.
