Private Aircraft Charter to Grand Prix of Long Beach FAQ
What do I need to think about when chartering to Grand Prix of Long Beach?
Being that the greater Los Angeles area is packed with airports, getting to and from the Grand Prix of Long Beach couldn't be easier. Closest to the race course and downtown is Long Beach Airport – LGB, which is a 10-mile drive that takes about 10-minutes by car. About the same distance and to the west of Long Beach in Torrance is Zamperini Field Airport – TOA. Because Zamperini Field Airport sees no airlines, there is very little in the way of traffic and crowds. Zamperini Field Airport does have shorter runways, so it is best for mid-sized jets and smaller. If you will also be visiting Los Angeles and points north of Long Beach, Hawthorne Municipal Airport – HHR - is an ideal choice. While Hawthorne Municipal Airport is also a bit smaller, light and most mid-size jets should have no restrictions. Hawthorne Municipal Airport's central location makes it ideal for reaching not only Long Beach, but much of the LA Area.
