Long Beach Airport (LGB) is seeking community support to be ranked among the Top 10 Best Small Airports in the United States for 2024 by the USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice travel award contest.

“LGB is often the first impression visitors have of our great city, and it provides travelers with a relaxing experience in beautiful facilities that reflect the spirit of Long Beach,” said Mayor Rex Richardson. “Being considered for this Top 10 list is a testament to the exceptional reputation of LGB. I'm thrilled that this recognition will bring more attention to Long Beach from travelers nationwide, especially if we can secure enough votes.”

The airport needs sufficient votes from its supporters during a month-long voting period to secure a spot on the list. Community members can vote daily for Long Beach Airport under the category of Best Small Airport without needing to log in. Voting remains open until noon on Monday, Sept. 23.

Industry experts and editors at USA TODAY nominated LGB before public voting began. The USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards highlight top attractions and businesses across the country, offering readers trusted recommendations.

This nomination comes as LGB celebrates recent improvements, including reopening its Historic Terminal building and completing a new Ticketing Lobby, Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS), and consolidated Bag Claim. These upgrades are part of an ongoing $125 million Phase II – Terminal Area Improvements Program aimed at enhancing travel experiences.

Marking its centennial year, LGB offers service to 24 nonstop destinations through carriers like Southwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Hawaiian Airlines—more nonstop service than ever before in its history.

“LGB was honored to win in this same category in 2020, and we know we can do it again,” said Airport Director Cynthia Guidry. “Being considered for USA TODAY’s 10Best list is a testament to what makes us unique among airports, from our indoor-outdoor design—complete with palm trees and a fire pit—to locally-owned shops and restaurants.”

LGB continues to receive national recognition for its convenience and unique charm. This latest nomination adds to accolades such as being named among the 10 Best Airports in the United States by Condé Nast Traveler magazine readers for two consecutive years.
