Long Beach Airport
Private chauffeur transportation to and from Long Beach Airport with flight monitoring, professional drivers and coordinated airport pickup.
Long Beach Airport sits between Long Beach and Lakewood, close to the 405 and within easy reach of the South Bay, the Port of Los Angeles and northern Orange County.
Its historic terminal and open-air boarding give LGB an unusually relaxed, low-volume feel. Walking distances are short, arrivals reach the ground transportation area quickly and the whole experience is closer to a regional airport than to a major hub.
For cruise passengers it is particularly convenient: the Long Beach Cruise Terminal is a short drive away, and San Pedro and the Port of Los Angeles are close behind it.
Chauffeur Service
ELS provides pre-arranged chauffeur transportation between LGB and hotels, private residences, corporate offices, meetings, resorts, events, cruise terminals and other airports across Southern California.
Cruise travel is a core part of what we do here. We coordinate arrivals into LGB with cruise embarkation at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, and handle the return leg from disembarkation to the airport or your home address, with the luggage volume that cruise travel implies.
Sedans work well for couples and single travellers; Cadillac Escalade ESV SUVs handle cruise luggage comfortably; Sprinters cover families and groups sailing together.
The Process
Provide the airport, airline, flight number, date, passenger count, luggage details and destination.
ELS monitors the relevant flight arrival information ahead of your pickup.
Your chauffeur coordinates the pickup according to actual arrival information and airport procedures.
You meet your chauffeur at the appropriate designated pickup location for your terminal.
The chauffeur assists with luggage and transportation continues directly to your destination.
Arrivals
LGB's small footprint means passengers usually reach the ground transportation area within minutes of landing, so we time the chauffeur closely to the actual arrival.
Pickup location depends on terminal, airport regulations and the type of service reserved. Professional ground transportation operations at Long Beach must follow current airport authorization and designated pickup procedures; your chauffeur or ELS dispatch will confirm the appropriate meeting location before pickup.
If your arrival connects to a cruise embarkation, tell us your sailing time at booking so the transfer is scheduled with adequate margin.
Departures
Your chauffeur coordinates the departure pickup around your airline, terminal, departure time, traffic on the 405 and 710, your own preference and the arrival time your airline recommends.
LGB moves quickly, but we do not guarantee travel times and always plan a conservative buffer — particularly on cruise disembarkation mornings, when the port releases large volumes of traffic at once.
Drop-off takes place at the permitted departure location according to current airport regulations, with luggage assistance at the curb.
Meet & Greet
Meet & Greet may be requested at LGB when available and permitted. Your chauffeur coordinates the appropriate meeting point and may use a personalized name sign.
Meeting procedures follow current airport regulations and are limited to publicly permitted areas. ELS does not promise access to secure or restricted areas of the airport.
Where We Drive

Private Aviation
Long Beach handles a steady mix of corporate and charter traffic with a far calmer ground experience than LAX. Its private terminals sit on separate sides of the field, so the pickup point is confirmed with your operator before arrival.
