Long Beach Airport (LGB) has been ranked second among the 50 Best Airports in America by The Washington Post. Known for its convenient location in Southern California and stress-free customer experience, LGB remains a popular choice for travelers.

Mayor Rex Richardson stated, “Our award-winning airport is the preferred gateway to Southern California, offering a first-class experience for travelers.” He emphasized that this recognition highlights LGB's significant role in welcoming visitors for upcoming events like the World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Washington Post described LGB as "simple to navigate and quick to get in and out of," with travelers appreciating its courtyard that "brings the beach to the airfield." One reader referred to it as their “airport oasis.”
