Long Beach Airport located in Long Beach California may initially seem to be a sleepy airport when compared to its big brother LA International Airport located just 18 miles away. However, at closer inspection you will have a greater respect for this airport which is spread over 1000 acres with one 10,000 ft runway for jets and four smaller ones. It is touted to be one of the world’s busiest airports with almost 4,000,000 aircraft movements a couple of years ago and it flies 3 million passengers each year.
What the airport lacks in glamour Long Beach more than makes up for in local attractions. You name it the place has got it. It’s got a world-class aquarium, a Disneyland Resort, an interactive game center, theme parks and The Queen Mary as a permanent display. It has the finest hotels, alternate housing, bed & breakfast arrangements and beach hotels and motels. You have the classiest shops, rides, shows and restaurants for fine dining. For car rentals you have every conceivable form of vehicle for hire from compact to SUVs and to trucks!
