It’s a small airport, which is nice for quickly getting in and out of. Inside and out the look is very dated. A dated look is ok but this airport doesn’t appear to be well cared for or well cleaned. It looks dirty. When I look at this airport it feels emblematic of the United States as a whole. This place probably looked great at the end of the 20th century, but now it looks like the crumbling infrastructure we see everywhere. If you want nice things you have to pay for it, and clearly no one is paying for this.
Small airport thats convenient to get to. One of the few airports Ive visited where you could exit the airport and walk to nearby restaurants if you have some time to kill until your next flight. Dining options inside the airport are very limited and sorely overpriced. They have a dedicated bank of charging stations, but it would be better if they were built into the lounge chairs for better accessibility.
Yes you can buy some pretty good water 5:30 at the airport!I had a 7:00am flight and I got to the airport around 4am, Wi-Fi is not working, it sucked at first. But once you pass security it’s a bit better.
I love to fly into Burbank instead of LAX. It is never really crowded with easy access to the freeway. You do board the plane either by stairs or a ramp but I like that. You also retrieve your baggage outside which is different. Getting to the rental car places is a major walk so be ready for that. I wish there were a bit more choices for food and other items but that comes with a smaller airport. Definitely worth the trade off.
They are very friendly and I love to travel with them, I work in Vegas but I live in Burbank & I enjoy my trip every time🤜🤛
One of the best things about living in Burbank, or near Burbank, is that you can use the Burbank Airport instead of LAX. Whether Im parking, picking up or dropping off - its always super quick and easy. The terminals are clean and comfortable. Traveling is so much more enjoyable when it starts with a great airport experience, and that is what youll get here.
Holy smokes, arriving here was one of the most smoothest starts to a trip Ive had. Its a small airport and you literally walk onto the tarmac and then 50 ft to baggage claim. Theres no traffic, its super easy to navigate to the ride share area, and youre out the airport in less than 3 minutes. All without the hassle of LAX traffic.
Pretty good airport overall. Easy to fly in and get through security on the way out. Not many gates so it’s hard to get lost. The only problem is the food is very expensive ($20+ for a pizza) and the restaurants close pretty early. The early closing id what makes this place 4 stars instead of 5.
When everything goes smoothly Burbank is like arriving and departing from your neighbors backyard. Easy. Friendly. Great food when you have a little time to spare. GH
Smaller airport, architecture and building is out-dated but simple and efficient system they got going on. I like the assertive street traffic control and it even has its own police department on premises.
I find it convenient from the Santa Clarita Valley. You can reach almost all domestic destinations from here. You will have to go to LAX for overseas flights.
A pretty great regional airport. Easy to navigate, and hard to get lost in.I was, however, verbally abused by a crossing guard, who screamed that I needed to get my eyes checked because I must be blind, since I didnt read her hand sign. Absolutely the rudest person Ive ever met in my entire life. Not someone who should never work with the public, especially in a capacity such as this. So if you dont mind the verbal abuse from employees, its a great place to fly in and out of.
Honestly, dont know why I ever flew into LAX for years. Burbank Hollywood airport is small, but mighty. Everyone from the check-in people to security to gate agents were nice and super friendly and it was an incredibly enjoyable experience to fly out from there. Absolutely none of the stress you get from flying through LAX. I will be flying into Burbank from now on.
I’ve been to some ghetto airports but this is up there on the list. The cheapest food is a $16 cold sandwich or an $18 breakfast sandwich. Oh but don’t forget about the “it’s going to ask you a question on the screen below”. No sir I picked up my cold sandwich from the fridge. I’m not tipping because you did absolutely nothing for me. The place was clean enough and the bathrooms are really small. I’ll be avoiding this airport every chance I get.
Nice little airport. Not much to eat or look around but really quick in and out once you arrive at the airport.
Love the convenience of this beloved and historic airfield turned airport. Do yourself a favor and get there early to look at the historic display cases. The airport is easy to get into and out of, but if you have checked baggage to pick up, have patience as there are only two carousels and frequently takes extra time. PS ... Bring back Bob Hope naming rights .. the man did great service to support our troops.
So small. Tiny everything from gates to bathrooms. Quaint to walk on the tarmac on and off your plane. Only one restaurant/bar option. Also small. That said: I found lovely unsweetened jasmine iced tea at the fast food stop. So it won my approval.
What a great airport to fly into or out of. Prices are usuly higher than LAX but being able to show up an hour before takeoff and have time to spare is worth the extra ticket cost. Consider yourself lucky if you have the opportunity to use this airport instead of LAX!
Airport was super busy but had a good flow.But bring lots of cash, food is the most expensive of any airport and its not that good.$20 for a tuna sandwich...oh and a bag of chips.$23 for a very small hamburger and a hand full of fries.$19 for a small pizza...please. Stop and grab a bite before arriving.
Typically a small and easy airport so I prefer to fly here vs LAX when possible .This week it was super crowded, tho. There was a bit of a bottleneck getting the luggage and the car rental center had long queues (the avis app was not letting you check out the car as it would do elsewhere)Will keep an eye on it to see if it is a temporary thing or its dying due to unable to scale with its popularity
Great regional airport. Easy parking, easy pickup. Southwest flies in and out as well as some other airlines.
I dont mind taking early morning flights out of this airport but you do have to arrive early to go through TSA etc. Landing at this antiquated airport is not fun. You walk into a terminal wall to wall with people and then the wait for luggage has always been long for me - they only have two luggage carousels. I sincerely hope with the increase of air travel again that this airport gets the upgrade it deserves. The location is very convenient which keeps people using this airport.
I wouldnt normally review an airport. Theres not typically much to say about most of them but this was like night and day. Taking off from North Hollywood and landing at SeaTac, Hollywood airport wasnt overly crowded, despite plenty of flights coming and going and quite a few people traveling at this time. It was clean. Even the airport restrooms were clean, and no waiting. The whole security screening process was pretty quick. Lines were fairly short because the TSA personnel kept people moving through smoothly. It was relatively painless and the security workers were polite, not one rude person. They handled the couple of people who seemed to be confused about protocol, with patience and reasonable efficiency. The flight took off a few minutes early because the boarding process was quick, organized and on-time.
The airport is very easy to get in and out of. The staff, including TSA were friendly and professional. I prefer flying out of Burbank rather than LAX. Havent really had a good experience at LAX. From here forward I will look for flights out of Burbank prior to LAX.
Easy access and parking. Short walk from entrance to gate. Southwest flies to and from this location. Getting in and out of this airport is great. Great restaurants nearby. Close to major studios Disney, Warner and Universal. Need an incredible sandwich? Santoros on Burbank Blvd!
Great people that work there. Security is amazing you will feel and know you are safe. TSA and police patrol are very serious about their jobs and the safety of all the people who are there. Very helpful and clean. Excellent airport.
Love this airport because it is small and easy to Navigate. One of the few remaining airports where you actually deplane from the back as well as the front directly to the ground and then walk into the terminal. But if you have a long layover, get something to eat before you go because food choices are limited. There is a bar and a Wolfgang Puck diner but the food side is a disaster. I was shocked by the amount of disorganization and chaos happening in the kitchen when I last visited
Always the easier airport to roll in and out of. Plenty of food and drink.
Be sure to get your bag right after you exit. No bathroom, or you will have to get in the check-in line and get your bag from the locked door. Only happen once so far. (United)Everything else about in/outs of this place is way better then LAX.
Pretty good experience, small airport so easy to get out of and everything is close. Our bag came quick but only one baggage pickup so I imagine that can get busy. Will use again for sure.
Smaller airport but great for getting through security. They could use some power stations in the chairs throughout the facility.
Great airport. Far better than LAX. This one caters to domestic flights so its not as accessible for travel, however if youre flying nearby, this is the airport to use. The lines are short, the airport is clean, and everything there is really really nice.
Burbank Airport is probably one of my favorite airports. The airport has a very simple entering and exiting for vehicles. Plenty of overhead signs while driving so you wont get confused and lost. Plenty of overnight parking and general parking structures as well. Ive never had any issue dropping or picking someone up. Plenty of handicap access and ramps. Workers are friendly and helpful. Baggage claim is outside so be aware of that. Not all flights fly out of burbank so you might have to go to LAX but if you can, i suggest taking a flight out of Burbank. Also not sure if other airports do this, but if you fly with southwest in burbank they let you enter and exit from back of plane as well.
Great airport for going short distances, such as the Pacific coast or midwest/mountain west. Small terminal with cramped gates, but it works. Food options are good and traffic seems to move well. Recommended if going to the Valley or Pasadena.
I love small airports. I was disappointed that I still had to take my laptop out of my bag even though Im precheck. There arent a lot of options for food and they are expensive even for the airport. Could use a few more charging stations.
They have small, serve yourself type kiosks, and they must not list prices because every time I get to the register, I get “sticker shock” at the fact that this is over $20. It comes with the “fresh fruit” btw.Then the tipping system on top of that doesn’t give you the option for no tip, you have to select, “other” and then type in 0 in front of the cashier 😑 terribleOther than that, the airport is great because it’s small and fast
The most straight forward, relaxed, and easy airport youll ever fly into or out of! Many nonstop flights available and Southwest is the biggest carrier. Airport has no jetways, but boarding the forward and aft doors on the tarmac is more fun anyway! Rental cars are a short hike on site with covered moving sidewalks. Also, has train service with a schedule that unfortunately sucks... Be careful about the 2 different train stations. The north station is a long hike. Otherwise, Burbank Airport is LAs best kept secret!
Update: There is a small restaurant at the front of Terminal A if you need a coffee or small bite before your flight. Keep in mind that you cant take beverages past security. There are plenty of self check in kiosks in the terminal, which makes getting to your gate much faster (unless navigating computer prompts confuses you). Ive had the pleasure of coming here now at least 5 times, and, aside from the holiday rush (which wasnt close to the holiday hell of LAX), each time has been pretty much a breeze.Nice regional airport with a decent amount of parking, curb space and staff. Great way to avoid the mess of LAX. It is quite small, so the amenities are very limited. There arent even food vendors in the airport secured areas as of right now. However, the airport does seem to be growing with greater interest from budget airlines like Alaska, Southwest, and Avelo. The new rental car center is huge. Theres a lot of new signage. Maybe more will pop up here in the future?
This was my first time flying into/out of the Burbank airport. Everything about it was very easy, from pick-up to drop-off and security. The gate and bathrooms were reasonably clean. The only downside was how limited our food options were when our flight was delayed. However, I was especially pleased to find a Mamava lactation pod in the terminal! It was a clean, private place where I could nurse my baby free from distractions. The pod was ADA accessible and even had several outlets available to charge devices or electric breast pumps. Its really nice to find an airport with this kind of consideration for nursing mothers!
I think the traffic people take it away to seriously and actually cause more congestion. There are crosswalks there and signal lights, its amazing. When I drive through New York City nobody gets hit by a car yet Burbank Airport has to have four people directing traffic. It just seems like overkill
Boarding Pass is quick, TSA check is quick. Dealing with SPIRIT AIRLINES Staff another story. Spend the money for a better experience. 1 Hour prior to departure is plenty of time with a carry on.
Why does it always take 45+ minutes to get luggage on the carosel after I land here? Every. Single. Time I fly into this airport. DO BETTER BUR!!!!!!
LGB is still the easiest way into Southern California, but BUR is probably second, except if you arrive or depart near rush hour on the 5 or the 405. Checked baggage was delivered faster than any airport I’ve been to and they checked claim tickets to prevent theft of bags.Drop off and pickup is a cinch. The main issue with the airport is renting a car. The garage with car rentals is a long walk. Short- and Long-term parking as well as valet service are all closer than the car rental area. That’s the only negative to flying into or from BUR, allow around 45 minutes of extra time to return or rent a car.
A small out of the way airport. Easy access. Outdoor access for ingress and egress onto planes. It appears to be popular for small private planes
Nice airport, much smaller than LAX, which I liked. Unexpectedly, had a long line at the TSA security point, in the early AM, which almost caused me to miss my flight (few others which were behind me in line did miss it).
Flew in and out of terminal A. In reality the only thing this airport has going for it is that its not LAX. Relatively easy to get in and out of. TSA moved right along. Dirty worn out and run down looking terminal. Few food options and way overpriced. Bathrooms mostly in need of repairs and small for the volume of people. Walk to Rental car center is a joke. May as well Uber over there. Moving sidewalks are broken as are escalators so have to carry luggage down to the terminal. Not enough interior seating at each gate. People on the floor and blocking the aisles. Looks more like an airport in a 3rd world country. But more likely the disheveled LA population ads to the effect.
Poor signage, airlines use different terminals and you might have to go through security twice depending on which gate is used for your flight. Strongly recommend not using this poorly designed airport.
It’s small and pretty straightforward. I haven’t personally been in it just dropped off family there. They don’t have a Starbucks in the airport however they have Starbucks and other fast food places next door.
Whenever I fly into Los Angeles, I always try to fly into Burbank. The airport is small and the tickets can be pricey if you book last minute so book accordingly and you will get a great deal. Hundred times better than LAX!! You will save time at security and pick up.
The Gestapo type security police are terrible. Cant wait for any time at all in the loading & unloading area, they make you drive all the way around the airport again. There should be a better way to pick someone up.
Burbank airport is by far the best in Los Angeles, LA. I would happily pay more to fly in and out of Burbank just to be able to avoid LAX. The TSA line is quick. However Southwest TSA line is the longest. If youre using jetblue, delta, american, Alaska the TSA line will take you no more than 15 minutes. If you have to go through Southwest its going to take you half an hour. This is still so much better than LAX. Plus driving up today airport is an absolute breeze, theres literally no cluster. Just a teensy bit of traffic but by the time you enter the airport you can get to the drop off point within 15 minutes maximum. Its the perfect airport. Avoid LAX go to Burbank!
I really like this airport. The only reason for 3 stars is because the last two times I have flown into this airport, it has taken 40 to 45 minutes just to get my luggage after we got of the plane. One time our large suitcase was severely mangled.
Always a no fuss, no hassle everytime I fly out of here. Might be a smaller airport and sometimes the flights are a little pricier then LAX but definitely worth it less lines, TSA is usually always pretty fast🙂
Love the quick in and out of the airport when comparing to LAX. However, its high prices and lack of support from Uber and Lyft drivers to catch a ride home after landing at 5pm on Monday for over 15 min was a big disappointment.
My go to airport when flying to L.A. Drawbacks; little choice in food/drinks; only two luggage carousels. Plus; only two luggage carousels😉; small terminal, easy to navigate. Fly Burbank!👍🏻
Worst airport experience I have ever had in the United States. Waited over an hour to go through TSA. They refused to open the TSA Pre check line because the airport didn’t have enough staff. Rude service. Long times, dirty facilities. Worst airport in America.
Very limited seating outside of the security area. Arrived 3 hours early for flight from cruise ship. Ticket desk did not open until two hours prior to flight, terminal B had only six seats for passengers to use to wait for ticket counter to open.
I really love the Oakland Airport and its my favorite Bay Area airport. Id give 5 stars but theyve remodeled a bit and it felt a bit congested and the water fountains werent working....but the staff is great and I always have an easy and quick check in process.
TSA staff was nice. Its sad you cant carry a 8 oz Gatorade in your back pack. Plus my plane was an hour late, so I missed my flight in Dallas. I thought Burbank was upscale. Not this time
It is a very small, very crowded airport with not a lot of dining options. It’s easy to park in the neighborhoods nearby if you have a short trip under 72 hours. For free parking. Otherwise I do not see the benefit of traveling through Burbank airport.
A quick layover here but looked like a sweet airport after the hilarious Bob Hope.
A little different from what the privileged population may be accustomed to, but it was a nice experience to de plane on the tarmac and walk in. The service for the injured or elderly was excellent, and to add, there was a pay phone that someone in their 20s to early 30s asked, what us that for?
The airport is great, but the parking can be a nightmare. I pre-paid for Lot G parking and received my barcode by email to use when I arrive. Barcode did not work when I got there and the lady that helped me sent me a ticket through the machine to use to get out. My car was scheduled to be parked for a few days. When I got back, I used the ticket I was assigned and the lady said I owed 69 bucks for parking. When I tried to explain to her who I was and that I prepaid, she talked over me and yelled over the intercom. She then proceeded to tell me I was scheduled to come back the day before. Every time I tried to tell her I was back a day early, she shut me up before I could finish. I tried to find the old email that had my barcode on it but I was so jet-lagged that I could not locate it. Finally, the lady asked to confirm my name and she then realized I wasnt who she thought I was and confirmed I was pre-paid up to the next day. (Basically, the first lady did not assign the right person to the ticket.) They had to manually open the gate because the barcode still wouldnt work after she sent me a new email. Make sure to keep a copy of the email printed out or take a snapshot of the reservation number with your phone just in case you cant find your emails or if the barcode doesnt work. Dont let these people bully you. I was ready to call the police.
Brought back memories of flying a few decades ago! The terminal is at ground level so you walk up and down the gangway to the plane. Didnt see many restaurants on-site, and seating can be a premium but not a bad airport overall.
Very small and congested airport. The traffic is so bad as there is a pedestrian cross. The airport itself is OK. Very simple. There is just one cafe in terminal B and it asks $7 plus tip for a large latte.
For a relatively small airport its quite nice. TSA checkpoint was especially efficient for someone with pre-check who requires a full body scan.
Honestly the airport is tiny and super easy to get through. Really the only thing that matters at an airport. Keep in mind everything there is basically resort LA pricing. Like $20 bologna sandwiches
Maybe I have bad luck, but every single time Ive flown into Burbank Ive had luggage issues. Lost, damaged, long delays, etc. Its terrible. I just came back from holiday yesterday, and the luggage took over an hour AND my luggage was damaged. Its just the latest thing to happen.Youre better off grabbing a bite outside of the airport as well. Cheaper and better.
Its odd that at the BOB HOPE airport, the first thing you see is a sign that says you will be put in jail if you make any jokes!But- Burbank is SOOOO much smaller, faster, better than LAX... and many many miles more convenient than Long Beach, SNA or Ontario!(if you live in Hollywood/the valley)
Always quick and easy to get in and out of there in just a few minutes
Such and easy airport to navigate with way less people compared to LAX
Built to handle much smaller aircraft as evudenced by the 50+ people with no place to sit to board a 737-800. Same with adjacent gates so the overflow is tremendous. BoardING areas are PACKED
Smaller airport, parking was surprisingly ample this particular Saturday morning as it usually isn’t. Friendly staff, ticket counters are fast, screening is typical delays.
Small, convenient airport. Board from the tarmac. Could use more seating, particularly in the cramped A7-9 gate areas. Terminal A has precheck but Terminal B does not.
Love this airport! Especially SWA off loading when people arent used to it. Wait what... I ca get off the plane in the back?! Lol. Great pizza and 🍟
Very old, shabby feeling airport. This airport did not seem equipped to handle high volume of people. Staff were slow and narrow hallways meant people waiting to board clogged the flow of foot traffic. No good dining options. Needs a remodel :/
Easy peasy. Rental car drop off is just a short walk away from the terminal. Security was quick, and the gates are close.
Great alternative to LAX especially if you’re not going coastal
Easy check in easy fly out. Preferred over lax. Cost is slightly more but worth avoiding the headaches of downtown L.A.
One of my favorite airports in the world! When I fly into Los Angeles, I fly Burbank. Its easy to get to, easy to be picked up from and has an overall nice vibe. Everything just flows smoothly here! Recently I flew the new Avelo airlines, and the deplaning and getting my baggage from the carousel was 1-2-3! Bravo Burbank!
The marshaller on our side of the plane waved and smiled at my 18 month-old the whole time we taxied, and even blew kisses back to him. His kindness made our day.
Hardly any employees anywhere! Security is a mess as well. No outlets to be found so charge up before you arrive. Doesn’t feel very safe or secure.
Love the small town feel in terms of easy walkthrough, but well appointed with updated amenities like restaurants and bars. Hadnt flown through here in over 10 years and I missed it terribly.
Burbank Airport is theWorse airport to ever have to pickup someone.Parking lot is always full and theyll charge you$3.00 to Turn around and get out@!@@!! Really ridiculous.
Not quite what I expected tbh. Although its not that bad either. Fast and friendly service. Clean. The parking, drop off and pick up area is very crowded and crazy.
Small airport. Relatively quick to fly in and out. I was surprised at the long walk to rental cars. The walk is on an upper level covered walkway that takes you over streets and parking lots. Elevators were not obvious to me; signs took you to escalators.Terminal is a bit dated. Security was quick for me early on a holiday morning.My Hertz car rental was awkward with no car in my designated spaces and driving out, I was parked at the gate for what felt like 5 minutes for an attendant to sign me out.In the end, Im sure it beats going through LAX!
The airport is a very quick airport to exit the city of Drama. People need to slow down and look around . Life isn’t all about them . It’s good advice !
One of my favorite airports to fly out of. Its a small airport near Pasadena and much less stressful or crazy than LAX. It also flies conveniently to SJC and OAK in the bay so that you can keep your trip to low key, easily accessible airports.There is no CLEAR line but there is pre-TSA and the lines generally never get that long. From curb dropoff to the gates, its less than a 5 minute walk, youll just have to account for time through the security line.
Whoever worked the TSA ID checkpoint on June 12th at around 9:30...maam, you were amazing and Im sorry I didnt get your name!
Take the advantage of this airport for quick checkins, security checks, arrivals. I Did not see queues anywhere.
Small but very clean airport. Its a no frills airport that can get you in and out quickly, compared to LAX, which I stay away from at all costs. Heck, even Uber drivers want to stay away from LAX...enough said.
Easy in and out! Security was busy but it was quick and easy! Lot of people but the line moved smooth and quick!
Very comfy airport. Easy in and easy out. Nice selection of restaurants considering the size. And they have a cool pet relief closet.
Shhhhhhhhh. Dont tell anyone. This airport is the best kept secret ever. No lines. Plenty of parking, quick security. Love 💘 this airport
My family makes it a point to fly into Burbank. We definitely would rather pay an extra couple hundred dollars for this pleasure. Smaller airport, fast & efficient security check, clean, and easy to navigate. The rental cars are all at the airport and are a short walk away.It really is just better.
Small airport that allows easy access, but offside parking is no the best.
The 2 main parking lots are still closed.The TSA check line was outrageously long!I would have missed my flight if not for a nice person that let me in the front of the line.Everything was crowded and cramped.Update May 2023: Parking is semi open. Wow, this must be the most expensive airport food in the country. Still crowed here.
Honestly the best thing about the airport is its location closer to Universal Hollywood and Six Flags Magic Mountain (relatively speaking) compared to LAX. Is in desperate need of an upgrade. Interior looks like it hasnt been updated since the early 90s and for the gates, there no embarkation bridges, you have to walk out onto the tarmac. Its certainly not a bad airport, the fact it is a convenient alternative to LAX but as for amenities and just being pleasing to the eye, its lacking. The best part was probably the rental car garage which was modern with the best bathrooms on property. If looking to get to Hollywood and north of the city, Id say go but if heading anywhere else, best for LAX. Hopefully the new terminal is constructed soon.
The staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. Its a small airport so things move a bit slowly and there are less options for refreshments. But if you hate the hustle and bustle of LAX and dont mind a slower pace, then this is the perfect airport. They have plenty of regional and national flights and are almost always on time.
This airport is a mixed bag, for me its way more convenient to get to than LAX. However the terminal is outdated in terms of amenities (though there isnt much space for them) and after my last 2 experiences here im starting to think they have a bit of a management problem. For instance, because of a voluntary curfew on flights, they have a period in the morning at around 7-8pm where a large number of flights leave at the same time, the first of these flights start boarding at around 6:20 am ish and for some reason the TSA checkpoint doesnt open until 5:20 ish (thus creating congestion as flights are crammed together at a certain time and TSA opens so close to the time that the first flights board it is inevitable that long lines will form in the morning)
Smaller airport. Short security. Old school gates. Nice to avoid LAX when you can. Its definitely no frills. Most flights leave from gates at the very end where everyone is cramped which seems weird.
Not too hard to access (especially compared to LAX) but the security lines were a little long.
Amazing!Has all the good parts of airports with out the bad.Every is friendly, they are not ready to pounce on you for thinking of taking off your mask etc.You still get to walk on the tarmac to get to your plane.Ala in all it is a much more pleasant experience than other airports.
Love this airport. Its small but efficient. The only draw back that I have is the restaurants. There arent many to choose from only three that I could see, and the prices are very high. I reluctantly purchased a bottle of water and tuna sandwich for me and my daughter to share from Wolfgang Puck $26.00 later I was not happy at all. You get a bag of chips of your choice that goes along with the tuna sandwich. We didnt even eat the chips because the only choices were kettle chips. The price was outrageous. I get its located in Burbank/Hollywood. Seeing that we cannot bring food into airport and your water has to be thrown away before you enter security. You are forced to buy the expensive items that are being sold at the restaurants and snack stands.
One of the easiest airports to get though these days. Small, friendly environment, this reminds me of days past when air travel used to be enjoyable. Easy to navigate especially if traveling with the elderly or small children. Skip LAX, travel through Burbank!
Lack of public Transportation, MetroLink is no frequent. Free WiFi infrastructure is too old and has no enough capacity for passengers is Gates.Small airport, not a problem.
Small airport easy access from baggage claim to ground transportation.
Great airport! Good staff, good parking, decent food. Wish the airlines had more flights going out of here because its so convenient.
Terminal B is extremely tight. Not enough seating, closed shops, horrible food selections.Get b3 is directly in the way of tsa and makes a huge problem, also the PA system doesn’t work or the avelo employees don’t understand how to use it.Nobody heard our group numbers being called and we just had to get in line when we thought it was the right time.I told them it wasn’t working and the avelo employee gave me a nasty “well we’ve been calling so”Doesn’t matter if your trying…ITS NOT WORKING IDIOT. Grab your manhood and yell what groups you want.Just another example of how uncaring and entitled most employees are these days. Pathetic effort to not even attempt to fox the issue. Employees take you telling them there’s an issue as a personal insult these days. Weak, weak minded individuals that take their company angers out of the paying customer rather than their management. Pathetic
This airport is such a strange experience. First, incredible work by the team of traffic officers. Those folks were keeping things moving in what would otherwise be total gridlock. Its still slow when its busy but without them there would just be no hope. The airport interior, though, is just cramped. Maybe we were there at the busiest time but it was a complete zoo. People sitting in walkways because no where else was left. And finally, its old school charm of boarding on the tarmac is overshadowed by the need to climb so high to our modern jets. (Also, it took forever to get clearance to take off... No one else in front of us). Ultimately, the price is right for the overcrowded zoo exhibit version of flying.
Small and quick, its definitely one of the easiest airports Ive ever been through though a bottled water was $7 and thats just ridiculous!!!
Its easier to get around in a smaller airport. But they dont handle really large crowds well
Small, not too busy, but convenient. Easy to pickup and drop off. The TSA line is moving fast. The mini store is very good with many basic items for travelers to choose from.
Very clean airport. No delays in security very fast lines. They kept us moving. Pilots and Steward and stewardess were great the pilot from Reno to Burbank honored 2 elderly servicemen and it was very very nice the whole plane got a chance to thank the servicemen one being well into his 90s I felt very proud of your staff return flight was just as good back to Reno airport staff were helpful and actually picked up garbage even when it wasnt their job I was very impressed passengers were keeping their distance due to covid rules as well as staff I felt safe thank you all
Great little airport. Easy in and out. Security is usually pretty quick as well. Food options are so so.
Great alternative to LAX. The parking lots are affordable for overnight parking depending on the lot you choose, $10-$25. Free shuttle service to and from the lot. Super fast security check.
Small, cozy airport. I was able to check in super quickly!
Probably the most convenient airport, it is much better and easier to fly out of here than LAX. The rental cars are located right on the airport property. The terminals are right there as soon as you enter the airport. There are a variety of food restaurants inside your terminal. I always fly JetBlue when Im here. Just remember it is a smaller airport and if you come here to check-in super early, check out your airlines hours of operations, hours do vary.
The airport is OK, it is the way overpriced concessions. I can not afford a sandwich. It is over my per diem. Maybe they should get rid of the celebrity chef restaurants and put in a Subway.
Small convenient airport near Burbank/Pasadena/Hollywood area. Simple to navigate, choose this airport if you can over LAX
So convenient. Everything is so easy in This airport. The parking in lot C is $12 a day, check in lines are short and inside has nice small eating and drinking places. Southwest has lots of flights from this airport. Thanks to them I usually take my flight from Burbank 👍👍
Very easy to get through. Beautiful weather. Makes you want to stay u til you start paying taxes there.
Small airport with runway boarding and unboarding instead of gates. The pick up drop off area is extremely busy. Lyft pick up in the center lane.
Great smaller airport to get in and out of the San Fernando Valley. Alaska, American, Avelo, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, and United all fly out, limited service destinations.
It’s not new and fancy like the Long Beach airport, but I really appreciate how easy it is to get in and out of this airport. No shuttle to the rental cars, just a 5 min walk. The TSA line is usually super quick and there are ample places to charge devices once in the terminal
Its a small airport but convenient for locals ... Instead of stairs up to the plane, theyve rigged long squared off ramps which are too steep and, imo, dangerous for anyone using a cane or forget even trying to use a wheelchair. Youll also need to keep a close eye out for your luggage on the baggage ramp as there is no one, at the door, checking to make sure your luggage is yours.
Great small airport. Long walk from rental return to terminal but worth it Less hassle than other options
I love that this airport is so convenient to my house and also it’s I never ever have to park always drop off and just pick up.
It would be nicer if they had a water bottle fill station in terminal 1 so you wouldnt have to pay $4.30 for a 30.cent bottle of water LAX is only $2.60 a bottle otherwise its a convenient airport
Maybe its just because I havent been flying as much but it seems like this place is always filled to the brim. With that being said this is everyones favorite escape from LAX. Its mostly easy to drop people off and pick them up, but it can get backed up down the stripe while youre driving up. The food options are decent for an airport of this size, and all the staff are friendly enough
Great little airport .e and my wife just happened to show up about 5 hours early and the airport was closed buy luckily there was a airport officer whoa was getting ready to leave he verified us and let us in.
I love this airport. Flights might cost a bit more than LAX , but it is so worth it
Avelo Air! Easy airport to locate and catch a flight from. All the amenities of a large airport. Also known as Bob Hope Airport.
The airport is a little dated, but its a lot easier (and faster) to get in and out of than LAX.
Had an appointment at the airport to get covid 19 vaccine booster and they are not giving it here. Don’t waste your time and you willBe charged for parking since they cant validate if they are not there.
Nice, small airport. Parking is very reasonable. Dont underestimate the TSA lines.
First time using facilities. We flied to Redding via Avelo Airlines. Very easy and simple. Will be doing this again in future.
Empty airport. Flights always on time. Small, easy, no lines.
38 bucks for a good shot of tequila not a great one... but airport is simple and easy to navigate for a first timer
Cute small airport with normal overpriced food, $4 20oz bottles of water.I didnt come across any service issues.
Its a cool airport. Small and historical.Additional charging stations in the terminals would be helpful.
I love Burbank airport.. 15 steps from your car to board flight.. Just arrived 30 min before flight on Sat morning and I arrived 15 min early.. lol
First time flying in and out of this airport. No traffic getting in or out of the airport, going through security was a breeze and the staff was very helpful. I highly recommend this airport instead of LAX if you can. I’ll be flying in and out of Burbank going forward (depending on my destination).And the sunsets are beautiful (see photos)
Absolute best! Sometimes smaller is better! Easy in and out. Pro tip: board plane from back of possible.
This is a very small but very non stressful airport.Its never been very crowded or chaotic.I dont believe they have overnight parking.That is the only issue Ive ever had ..
Love flying out of Burbank. If you like your airports to have a ton of shops and boutiques, its probably not for you, but if you just want to get to your gate and on with your trip its great.
I use this airport instead of Lax because is small and easy to get around. Love the convenience.
Good airport overall. They try to make sure everyone gets though and makes their flights on time.
Very nice airport close to LA area and very easy to load and unload..
Smaller airport; lines were pretty short when we were there and it wasnt too busy.
Got out of the airport pretty quickly. Rental Agency was a bit of a hike but they did haveThree moving walkways along the way.
Nice staff, easy to get through, and has the rental cars on the property (no shuttle needed).
Drop off close to gate. only 4 people in front of me for TSA check. nuf said.1 month later: many more people in TSA, but MUCH less than anytime ive been thru LAX.couple moths later on Mon evening, 3 people in front of me in TSA line
Small, easy to access. Its a little like going back in time. So much better than LAX.
It was busy, which was expected, but loading and loading areas were terrible. It’s still better than dealing with LAX
Excellent Small Airport. Smaller Airport close Earlier. Thank You... A. Post
Small airport less stressful than other ones. Can use it when Im in the area.
Extremely kind service. Services were very fast too. Will be traveling out from this airport from now on.
Great airport to travel in and out of, hardly any waiting at the security check point. Great customer service.
Much more convenient than LAX if your travel plans allow it. Book tickets early to get better fares. Its easy to get in and out of. Pro tip, if you dont need to check-in for your boarding pass or check bags then enter the terminal A or B through the side door to avoid the crowds and congestion around the service counters and kiosks. Youll jump right to the security checkpoints.
Great airport... Easy in and easy out. Love flying out of Burbank.
I really would give them zero stars if I could . TSA by far have the WORST customer service I have ever experience. I flew out with southwest today and although it’s early I really feel as if they hated their job. I was yelled at by two TSA workers as if I was a child. They have zero patients and they simply do not care. The airport itself is very small and dirty. I can truly say I hate this airport and will never by flying through here again.
Love airports where you walk to car rental parking. Live small airports.
Plane arrived early, no problem with baggage and a great taxi driver.
A great little airport. No trains or buses to get from terminal to terminal, just an easy walk. Also, there are no jetways so you can get on and off planes quickly since the front and rear doors can be opened.
Curbside check-in was Great! All other employees that I interacted with seemed genuinely happy to be working this morning!
I traveled to this airport about 3 times now while it is small all the people there are nice and humble and are very helpful. I remember one time we had been told are flight was an hour later so we thought we had time to sit and eat real quick and the receptionist at the gates came and found us. We explained what happened and they were like no worries it happens were just glad we found u. A little kindness goes a long way.
Old school airport. Love flying into Burbank for Disneyland visits. Small drive but much more convenient than dealing with LAX.
This airport is probably the friendliest, fasted, and enjoyable places in LA. Its easier to find parking here than in a strip mall on a Saturday. What makes this place is the #JetBlue staff. If you have a bad flight, they fix it. Its like they are therapists too. They will ask you are the carousel how long youve been waiting for your luggage. Kelly knows my name and gives me a hug. CJ is incredibly kind and everyone loves him and he unites passengers. They work redeyes with #NYC and #LA and they are still kind and loving and get the job done! Talk about pushing tin! Give them their own airport!
Easy place to get around
Convenient location; I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn 9 minutes from the airport. Lots of restaurant and entertainment choices.The airport had ancient security scanning machines. Very loud - couldnt hear the security agent telling me to scan my boarding pass.Crowded, no, overcrowded when I was there for a 7:00 am flight. No seats available except for the other end of the terminal, where I couldnt hear flight announcements.Dirty, didnt want to go into the bathroom. A friend said the car rental spot was pretty far away, so I used my watch to see - .36 miles from the terminal.Will probably use a different airport next trip.
Its nice to have a smaller option than LAX but it looks like it hasnt been updated since 1978. The maintenance hasnt been kept up much and theres not enough seating, prepare to stand in a passageway for the hour before boarding. In general, the airport feels like it runs a bit slipshod, 20 minutes past boarding and no communication about why were not on the plane. Probably going to stick to LAX for now.
Its kinda funny. When we arrived, I didnt really think much of it. Its kinda small and you can tell its older and dated. But, they get the job done, flights get in and out quickly. I thought it was kinda cool to see the tarmac as we were boarding the plane. It is definitely better than LAX in my opinion as the traffic out of LAX is insane..lol
Burbank is much easier to get in and out of than LAX. When the fares make sense, I like to fly Burbank. However, the bathrooms are oddly small, and the food options are very expensive and limited.
So, it could certainly do with a refresh inside, but the dated carpets and decor are more than compensated for by the small size (very fast getting out) and the handiness for this part of LA.Will use again!
Burbank Airport needs to upgrade its services and amenities. It is too small for the amount of people going thru its gates. Every time I fly through this airport, Ive been delayed due to area weather or no available gates. I am so tired of this airport. Better to fly through Long Beach.
Easy place to navigate. Close to the suburbs and isnt the zoo LAX is. If you are flying into LA go through Burbank.
Like something out of Casa Blanca. I have never been to another airport where passengers can board and deplane on stairways off the pavement. Much more relaxed than LAX or ORD, and I didnt sense any compromise to our safety/security.
We waited over a half hour to get checked in and although we paid extra to have two queens they tried to give us a king room. There were on two towels in the room but four adults so we asked for more towels which they never brought up. Our keys stopped working early the second day so got locked outside the hotel (you need a key to come into the front doors). The workout room was nice but pool was very average and crowded so didn’t get to use but the workout room was nice. Free airport only shuttle every 30 minutes. No free breakfast and needs updates as it is dated. This is the hotel that Southwest Airlines flight crews use.
Beautiful airport, the smaller size makes it easier to navigate and well worth the extra cost of the ticket. Polite and knowledgeable employees, very friendly. Plus its named after one of my favorite actors...Bob Hope.
Easy airport. good parking, small, trains go direct to airport.
This is my new preferred airport in LA! I love John Wayne for Disney trips, but the calm of Burbank—and its proximity of where I visit—are ideal. Plus, the TSA staff are very friendly and make the screening process calm.
Easy to get to and through. Catch flights out of Burbank without any issues.
Flew into Burbank today on SWA. We were allowed to de-plane at front & back. Nice! Fast! Completely outdoor experience to get bags. Again, nice. Rental car counter is a little bit of a hike, but all outside, and under cover. So nice to go through a right-sized regional airport.
Small, but nice airport. TSA only has 1 line, but no pre-check, so everyone goes thru the same line.
Small Airport, will Never use LAX again! Love it here. Only downside is the food is super expensive. But what airport isnt??
Bit smaller than it looks from the outside, but it does the job and gets you on your flight quickly.
I like this airport I really like the staff here too. Alaska airlines staff always trying to help out. This airport is more expensive than LAX but makes sense. If you dont like anxiety of traveling like me, this airport seems like a great choice.
Easy to fly in and out of. I recommend it if you can.

2022-06-19Best airport experience I have ever had! Small regional airport, you land on the tarmac, you walk down the steps, you walk on the tarmac and you walk directly into the airport. They have one baggage claim area carousel! You walk out the door, walk across the street, walk across the bridge and youre at the car rental. Excellent! Enjoy.CAB😍

2022-04-25A great gateway to experiencing the miracle of human flight. Here, you will be able to board any number of large metal canisters and be launched into the stratosphere, where you can REALLY look down on other people. Helps with personal confidence and is completely exhilarating. The food is what you would expect, though the hi ball bar seems to really get jumping around 6:30pm. I have been using this airport my entire life and have never once been disappointed…in all seriousness, this place is way better than LAX - it is faster, smaller, more efficient, not as fancy (but who cares), and they still offer pay phones, a shoe shiner, and classic vending machines. Additionally, the smokers lounge is exquisitely shaded & jaded - you can fill your lungs to the brim with tar to the excruciatingly sweet traffic controllers’ frequent and overlapping whistle blows. It is a divine symphony, a chaos-ode to traffic, a screaming hot, panicked introduction to the city of dreams. A place named for its angels both real and phony, in an airport that gets its beautiful namesake from one of the best silver screen travelers to have ever lived- bob hope, a ghost we all must suffer the world without. Last, and most importantly, you can board & exit planes both from the front and back door here. So when you’re coming to LA from NOT LA, you can get that beautiful hit of sunshine quicker if you sit in the back of the aircraft.

2022-01-02We landed at the Burbank Hollywood airport. The runway is short so the airplane makes a hard fast landing. It a very busy and small airport. The airport has full facilities with a great location to getting to a lot of places within the LA area. We were able to walk out of the airport and make it to Santa Clarita within 30 minutes.

2022-01-05I love these small SoCal airports. Easy to navigate and park. Rental car area is a very long walk. Super cool relics of the airport history all around.

2022-03-28What an old historic little airport. Very small and very easy in and out. It kind of feels like pulling into a small strip mall or shopping center. It does not actually look like an airport. All the employees seem friendly and helpful.

2022-04-08I love going to this airport when heading to the Los Angeles area. It is a very small airport and everthing is in walking distance. I really like the idea the the rental car center is right on site so you dont have to take a shuttle bus. There is a Lunchbox restrant that has good food if you arrive there early and hungry.

2021-12-11Great airport, small and friendly. Downside? Ridiculously overpriced food and drink. We love Avelo Airlines, and hope they roll back luggage prices back to $10 as they had at the start. But its a great airport, especially with the Amtrak and Metrolink train station.

2022-03-01Extremely disappointed of this staff member, this is my first time traveling at Burbank airport and have been a very uncomfortable and unpleasant morning in long time, as well want to mention I been a member with Alaska for the past 10 year, as time passes Alaska customer service is getting worse and worse.So this guy was at the door before me entering the airplane as we were talking I had a pen with Alaska tag on it because I needed to write something, without asking he pulled the pen from the top of my purse and dropped it on top of his coworker desk, I asked him why he would do that so rude as I was feeling he did it with so much racism… I asked for him name but he refused to give his name and he walked away. I asked the lady at the desk for the name of this guy and she said “ask him”, even tho she saw the entire situation how it happen from the beginning she did not care to say a word, to apologize or anything,. As well I had 4 item holding ( my Cary on luggage, a bag and the other 2 items were 1 flower bouquets and a small speaker) same guy he rudely saying I need to take 1 item from you because it’s not just you on the plane and you can’t take that much space etc embarrassing me in public, I did not refuse to give one of my items to check in but I was keep asking if he would take it or I have to go somewhere else and the only thing he was doing was pointing with his finger in the back we’re there ware multiple desks … anyways I walked there and the lady was keep saying $30 for your check in bag, I mentioned multiple times I have an Alaska card and my luggage should be free but she ignored me and keep asking how I would make the payment so I asked for her name, she ignored completely and said we’re done, I asked again what you mean I’m done did you find my luggage it’s free ? And she said you’re done so I assumed she did her job finally and I walked away, I left that airport almost crying because there are still racist people working in public and we pay for their services.

2022-05-18Small efficient airport . Security is so professional , moving people through with teamwork. Ive never had to wait more than 10 minutes. Tuesday night workers were the best! What is wrong with other airports? Just remember the snack store closes early bring your own for evening flights
