PSP Airport Overview
Palm Springs International Airport PSP is located 2 miles east of the central business district of Palm Springs, and is near the desert resort cities of the Coachella Valley in Southern California. With its two runways, it is served by major and low-fare airlines offering daily nonstops to over a dozen domestic destinations; however airline traffic is highly seasonal, meaning less air traffic during the hot summer season.
The recently expanded airport terminal 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. 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: Food & drink concessions, shops, 2 ATMs, free Wi-Fi access and a USO Service Club. The Terminal has 20 airline gates (Delta Connectiona and United Express use Gates 17-20).
Drop-Off / Pick-Up: Drop off passenger and luggage curbside. If assistance inside is requied, 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.
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.
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. A good number of rental car agencies maintain desks in the passenger terminal.
