BUR AIRPORT & FLIGHT STATUS

Burbank Bob Hope BUR Airport Overview

Burbank Bob Hope Airport BUR - named in honor of the late comedian and Hollywood institution - serves Los Angeles, Glendale, Pasadena and the San Fernando Valley. The Airport helps you beat the infamous Los Angeles traffic by being the closest airport to Hollywood, Disneyland, downtown L.A, Warner Bros., NBC, Universal Studios, the Rose Bowl, Dodger Stadium, Griffith Park, L.A. Zoo, Autry Museum, Magic Mountain, to name some.

Bob Hope Airport is located three miles northwest of the central business district of Burbank, in southern California, off Interstate Hwy. 5 (Exit 149); its main entrance being situated after the intersection of Thornton and Hollywood Way. 

With two runways, and 4.1 million passengers in 2012, Bob Hope Airport is served by major airlines offering frequent nonstop flights along the West Coast, and direct and connecting flights across the country, including New York City.  It is currently served by Alaska, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, United & US Airways.

NOTE:  Passengers can be dropped off at the curb in front of the terminal. TSA security requirements dictate that no waiting is allowed at the curb. It is advisable to drive into the airport on lane 2 and drive past the Terminal A baggage claim for better curb access.

The Main Terminal at Bob Hope Burbank Airport is divided into Terminals A & B. (For more information, please refer to 'Terminal Map' page.)

Parking options at Burbank Bob Hope Airport are available in lots A-E - as Lot D is now closed - use Lot A (economy). (For more information, please refer to 'Airport Parking' page.)

Rental car counters are presently located in Terminal B's arrivals area. Off-airport rental car agencies offer shuttle service stopping at the pedestrian island, right across from Terminal B's baggage claim.

Current and Future Airport Developments:  1.  CUPPS (common-use passenger processing system) upgrades in both the Terminal A & B Lobbies are ongoing and should be completed by 2013.
2.  Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC): Construction started on the development on Empire Avenue (across from the Airport's train station) of a three-level RITC with consolidated rental car faclities, a bus transit station on the ground level; and an elevated moving walkway connecting with the passenger terminal.  Construction of its first phase should be completed by summer 2014.  As a consequence, Parking Lot D is closed - use Economy Lot A.
