The Californer/10327648

Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach Airport (LGB) has recently made significant improvements to its security screening process, making travel even easier for passengers. The addition of a new security screening lane and a more efficient layout have resulted in improved passenger flow and reduced wait times.

According to Mayor Rex Richardson, these enhancements are a testament to the airport's commitment to providing convenience and a first-class traveler experience. He stated, "By making the security queue process more efficient with an improved layout and additional lane, Long Beach Airport is giving travelers time back in their day to better enjoy their journeys."

The number of security screening lanes operated by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at LGB has increased from five to six with the addition of the new lane. The security queue has also been reconfigured in partnership with TSA, ensuring that passengers no longer pass in front of the Ticketing Lobby. This new layout is expected to streamline the screening process and ease congestion during peak travel seasons.
