Lucky2015 Posted March 2, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I am flying from Toronto, Canada for a cruise out of Long Beach. Would you suggest flying to LAX or directly to Long Beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky61 Posted March 3, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2020 My personal choice would be to fly to Long Beach. Much smaller airport and very easy to navigate. But that is just my personal opinion.☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted March 3, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Depends on price and schedule... Long Beach is a much smaller airport...OTOH, there are very few airlines that fly in and very few flights a day...from a much smaller selection of route origins... IF you can find a flight to LGB that works for you at a price that works for you, go for it...If you have better options using LAX, take those...Don't worry about it... LAX is not that much further from the port (about 22 miles from the Carnival Terminal vs. 12 miles...actual driving time is about a ten minute difference)...but it is a VERY large airport...Flying in is not that difficult since you don't deal with check-in or security...only sometimes a little wait to retrieve your luggage. Flying out is a little tougher--if you run into long check-in or security lines (Of course, I fly in and out of LAX all the time and have NEVER run into any long lines...OTOH, having TSA Pre-check works in my favor). And, fro LAX, you've got seemingly countless options on times, airlines and destinations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to have many more options flying into LAX than you are into Long Beach-- I would do LAX purely based on having more flights to choose from (and shuffle to in the event of a flight cancellation for example). It just gives you more options and as others have said, it's almost negligible in terms of driving time to the port from either airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2015 Posted March 3, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks. I am noticing more choices for LAX flights and will go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaLuna Posted March 10, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2020 We will (most likely) fly into LAX and out of LGB. Long Beach is just so much nicer to come in and out of, but we needed the extra flight options pre-cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
