My guess is they are at the point where 1 gate is too squeezed, but they are not ready to add enough flight to fully utilize 2 gates. I think it will happen though. If the recent BOS adds go well, they maybe willing to add a couple of more flights next year and have a second gate.
As I said in my previous post, when I flew in last month, they were using 3 gates at once which I've never seen before. I've seen them use 2 but never 3. I really do hope they make this work at some point soon. It's such a pain to have to fly WN or someone else if I'm connecting from Chicago. |

I'm on the Bozeman inaugural now. They've done a schedule change. It's now at least two and a half hours on the ground.

Only for inaugural
The 5pm departure time is the one-time only schedule change to accomodate the festivities for the inaugural flights.
It will go back to 3:12 pm departure time on Sunday. It is actually fairly typical for the short turnaround time and I have a feeling that catering is all done here in LGB. They just do a tidy-up. Carfield |
Looks like the second (morning) LGB/BOS pairing is ending in early March. My morning return flight in June was canceled and they put me on the prior night's flight, I got them to switch me to the flight the night I was originally traveling on instead. That would have been my preference but it was much more expensive when I booked a month or so ago.
Between my wife and me we've been on 4 full LGB/BOS flights in the past 8 days, so I'm not sure why the cutback unless seasonal loads enter the equation. Hope they bring the second flight back in the fall! |
That's unfortunate. I hope they don't pull the same stunt with LGB-JFK. They have 2-3 daily flights depending on the time of year.
I noticed on one of my recent trips that Delta has already taken over Gate 1 at LGB which is on the JetBlue side of the terminal. |
I've never had a gate lower than 6 for JetBlue at LGB, and usually at "gates" 9, 10, and 11, which are all just long walks along the tarmac. I usually see Southwest and AA around gates 1 thru 4 or so, which are the gates to your left after security

Hoping for BUR expansion with LGB being cut back!
BUR-FLL, more BUR-JFK, maybe even BUR-AUS, and not going to happen fantasy of BUR-IAD. |
