Anyone ever fly out of Long Beach airport?
How early do you need to go for the flight? I know for LAX they say 1 hour before, but for Long Beach is that really necessary?

One hour will give you plenty of time.

Yes it is I am afraid. Just because it is a smaller airport out of the 1950s does not mean they are any slacker on security.

I use to fly to NYC before 9/11, and you could literally check in at the airport like 10 minutes before your flight with no problem! but yes, nowadays you have to check in at least 1 hour b4 your flight =(

techinllay its 2 hours for any flight not 1 hour even at lax and long beach you could find yourself long security line (even at long beach which might even last a hour (its rare but it has happened) so its better for you to be earlier at your gate then taking a risk of missing your flight. .. better to be safe then sorry,,

It depends what kind of traveler you are... I'm a business traveler and travel weekly. If you need to be there early and be able to make sure that everything is ok, then yes an hour. For me... I live in the Belmont Heights area of Long Beach about 10mins from the airport. If I'm driving I'll leave my house around 45-50 minutes before the flight and have never had a problem. Even the height of post 9/11 - I was on a conference call at my house and told them I would call back in when I got through security at LGB. When I called in less than 20mins later, the people on the call were amazed. If you are parking and using economy parking, it's across the street at the Boeing site. You have to take a shuttle to the airport. This always takes longer than you think it should. LGB does have some decent food choices. Legends, the sports bar on 2nd street, and Sweet Jills, the dessert place on 2nd st, both have locations at the airport.

You still need to be there an hour before. You have to get through security, possibly check your bags, etc. And remember, they start boarding 20-30 min before the flight takes off.
7 :
1 hour is good because they board the plane 30 minutes before departure. The security lines are not long, but if you are checking bags, there are not a lot of ticket agents so those lines can move slowly.

I flew out of Long Beach with Jet Blue. As a general rule, take the time it takes at LAX and cut it in half for everything.
