Late (too late) into my last round of business travel, I discovered the joys of taking JetBlue to Long Beach instead of a major carrier to LAX. This little Art Deco jewel makes me feel like a 1930s movie star, beginning with deplaning directly onto the tarmac. A very short walk through the tiny terminal and you're picking up your luggage in an area open to the warm California breezes, just like in the Tropics. There are limited services, but the upstairs cafe, with its two-tier seating and vistas over the runways. Pick up your rental car and its an easy drive to anywhere in Orange County...see ya in LA, LAX suckers!
