Hollywood Burbank/Bob Hope Airport — Burbank, United States

Hollywood Burbank Airport, still widely recognized under its former name Bob Hope Airport, serves Burbank, California, in the San Fernando Valley near central Los Angeles. The earlier name honored entertainer Bob Hope, who lived in Burbank for decades and was closely associated with the community. Coded BUR, the field's elevation reaches 778 feet and the airport operates two runways. Its location makes BUR a favorite among travelers heading to the entertainment industry studios clustered in Burbank, and many find it a faster, less congested alternative to Los Angeles International Airport for trips into the northern parts of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Southwest Airlines has long maintained a significant presence at BUR, and the airport handles a busy schedule of domestic flights to destinations across the western United States, all while operating from a notably compact footprint compared with LAX. Curbside pickup and short walk times remain a point of pride for regular BUR flyers.
