Palm Springs International Airport — Palm Springs, United States

Desert resort traffic swells each winter through Palm Springs International Airport, coded PSP, which sits in the Coachella Valley east of Los Angeles, ringed by the San Jacinto and San Bernardino mountains that give arriving passengers one of the more dramatic approach views of any American regional airport. Snowbirds fleeing colder climates have long fueled winter demand at PSP, filling direct flights from cities across the northern United States and Canada during the cooler months, while spring brings a sharp secondary surge tied to the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals held nearby in Indio. The airport's open-air, mid-century modern terminal design reflects Palm Springs' broader architectural identity, a style the city has aggressively preserved and marketed as a tourism draw. Golf resorts, spa retreats, and the surrounding desert landscape, including nearby Joshua Tree National Park, round out the leisure appeal driving PSP's traffic.
