With stunning mountain views, it feels more like a boutique resort than a terminal. This unique setting, paired with short walking distances and relaxed vibes, makes PSP a favorite among frequent flyers who enjoy arriving early to soak in the atmosphere. At a glance Handling around 2.3 million passengers annually, Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) serves as a gateway to this desert resort city. Sitting just 3 km (2 mi) east of downtown Palm Springs, it's a hub for airlines such as Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, and American Airlines. Despite being a seasonal leisure hub, it consistently delivers a peaceful pace for travelers compared to other airports. Terminals & layout PSP's Main Terminal houses 17 gates and numerous amenities, yet maintains an invitingly small-scale feel. Everything here is easily accessible, with boarding gates close to amenities and outdoor spaces inviting you to relax. The design facilitates a smooth flow from check-in through to security, although it lacks airline lounges,… ## Terminals (2) - **Palm Springs International Airport Terminal** — 17 gates · airlines: Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Avelo Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Flair Airlines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, United Airlines, WestJet URL: https://airport.flights/airport/psp/terminals/main -

_Time_: Avoid security lines by steering clear of the 6–9 a.m. departure bank during peak season; lines can stretch out the door. - _Avoid_: PSP has no lounges, so plan ahead and enjoy the laid-back outdoor areas instead of expecting premium services. - _Quiet_: Seek out the quiet seating areas near the far end of the Agua Caliente Concourse, past the busier gates. - _Local_: Grab a drink and relax outside in Adirondack chairs while enjoying views of the mountains and palm trees. - _Money_: Rental cars are adjacent to baggage claim, saving 20–30 minutes over airports requiring shuttle transfers to rentals. - _Time_: Check the gate monitors regularly since gate changes are common at PSP, especially for seasonal flights. ## Travellers notes mentioning PSP -
