Palm Springs PSP Airport Overview

Palm Springs International Airport PSP serves Coachella Valley of southern California.
The Airport is located 2 miles east of the central business district of Palm Springs, and is near the desert resort cities of the Coachella Valley. If you drive from the East or West, exit Interstate Hwy.10 at Gene Autry Trail (Palm Drive), turn left (south), then turn right on Ramon Rd., then right on Kirk Douglas Way leading to the passenger terminal.
With two runways, Palm Springs International is served by major and low-fare airlines offering daily nonstops to many US cities and seasonal flights to western Canada; however all airline traffic is highly seasonal, meaning less air traffic during the hot summer months.

The passenger terminal at Palm Springs International Airport is designed to take advantage of the sunny, dry weather that has made the area a popular tourist retreat for over a century. Once through the security checkpoint, you’ll find outdoor waiting areas with grassy knolls and seating that allows you to soak up some last-minute sun before boarding your plane. Gates 4-11 are to the left and gates 12-20 to the right (for Horizon, US Airways Express, United Express & Delta Connection). There is also an outdoor children’s play area adjacent to gate 1 and a courtyard area near gates 4-11 with a soaring 40-foot canvas roof and live palm trees.
The following other services can be found in the passenger terminal: Visitor Information, lost baggage, special services, Food & drink concessions, shops, 2 ATMs, free Wi-Fi access and a USO Service Club.

Drop-Off / Pick-Up of passengers
at PSP Airport: You can drop off passenger and luggage curbside. If assistance inside is required, contact a Skycap or an Traffic Officer curbside for assistance. Then proceed to the short- or long-term parking lot.
If you need to pick up a passenger from the Airport, use the free Cell Phone Lot--stay with your car until your party has collected luggage and calls you to be picked up at the curb.

Parking options at PSP Airport include Short- and Long-Term Parking Lots available (payment on exit by cash or credit card). Disabled parking spaces are in the Short- and Long-term parking lots within a short distance of the passenger terminal. Skycaps can help you with your luggage.

Rental cars are available from major rental car agencies, maintaining desks in the baggage claim area of the passenger terminal.

To get from Palm Springs International to your destination, you can rent a car, take a taxi, a limo, a shuttle or a bus: The information desk can help you with ground transportation inquiries - Limousine and taxi services can be obtained by directly contacting the provider; a bus runs between the Airport and the Amtrak station; hotels and resorts have their own courtesy shuttles; and there are also a number of bus companies serving the Airport.

  • Rude employees

     

    I stopped at American Airlines to help a handicapp person and unload his luggage and was given a ticket. I called to find out if I could mail a check and they told me to call Irvine # and then Irvine told me to call Palm Desert #. Back and forth and no right answer

     

  • I need the name of your Airport Shuttles

     

    It will be helpful if you will post the company names of airport shuttles and phone no!

    It would be nice to have information on dining what time restaurant opens and closes. Early travelers need to know if there is coffe and breakfast available

  • Picking up Handicap

     

    Palm springs airport expects handicap and elderly people to walk from the lobby to the parking lot. I went to go in and pick up a handicap person and I was told to get back in my car. When I talked to the person at the airport he did not care to hear what I had to say. She was brought to lobby in a wheel chair then left to wait fo me.the person took the wheel chair. This airport is not handicap friendly.

  • Picking up Handicap

     

    Palm Springs Airport is not Handicap Friendly. You have to Park in the parking lot and make your Handicap or Elderly person walk. I am very concerned about this. I talked to two people at the airport and they didn't have a solution. I will contact the Handicap ASS. and let them know they don't care about the handicap or elderly. Shame on them.
