Hey all... I've been here in Los Angeles for about a year now and had never flown out of Long Beach until today...

All I can is WOW! It was awesome. First off its a TINY terminal (Jetblue, Horizon, American, and mabey one other)..

Well, I was being dropped off so parking was an issue; but nobody hassled us about unloading (which took me about 5 minutes to unload and say my goodbyes (this is well beyond the 'nasty cop' threshold at most airports where they need the space)...

Also, if you do need parking its only $6/day if you park in one of the further (but still walkable) lots. If you want to be right up close its $12/day.

I walked in, there was only 1 person ahead of me to checkin with JetBlue, and you walk mabey 200 feet to get to the terminal from the reservation desk!

Got through security in about 2 minutes.. And though it might be completely irrational, I somehow feel that its likely that JetBlue would be bombed then something like [Insert least favorite bigname airline here].

I used to fly in and out of Binghamton, NY all the time; and when I came to Los Angeles I really started to miss having a small airport.. I've now found one -- and its going to be my new preferred airport!

Overall I had a great experience at LongBeach and also with jetblue. By the way, I forgot to mention that I only arrived about a half hour before my flight -- something you would never want to do at LAX.. But it was zero problem!
