Can book a flight from Buffalo to Burbank
Airport but have never landed there. Any comments on it location, ease of getting there, conveniences?

Bonnie, it depends on where you are going. Burbank is a nice smaller airport convenient to the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valley towns or if you are heading to Ventura. It is OK for LA and other cities but you will probably have traffic. That said, you will be out of Burbank and on the road by the time your bags would reach the carousel at LAX.

Hi Bonnie:
Jim made a good point: Burbank is a good location if your final destination is on the north half of Southern Calif. However, if you plan to go to Disneyland or other points south, then LAX or better yet, Orange County airport, are better choices. As a native Angelino, try to avoid driving across the L.A. basin at any time of day; traffic is horrndous.
Happy travelling, Chet

Wow I have had a completely different experience than Chet's. We often fly into Burbank which is a great little airport with convenient rental car companies right on site. The quick stop upon landing is legendary though. We use Burbank for traveling to Ventura County and for going to Disneyland. We've never had the horrendous traffic that Chet has, but maybe we've been lucky. As I recall the drive to Disneyland has been no more than 45 minutes for any of the times we've done this trip. Good luck Bonnie.

Thanks everybody. And by the way, I met Elvis one time when I was in L.A.!

Bonnie's showing her age. The man's been dead for 25 years now.

Burbank is a convenient airport for the Valley. Not the best if you're going to Orange County.

Speaking of quick stops, I flew into SNA two weeks ago and it freaked me out big time. The plane came to a screeching halt upon landing due to the short runway. On takeoff, the pilot "so as not to disturb our airport neighbors" revved the engines up, released the brakes, took off fast as hell, pointed the plane into a a 90 degree pitch and then killed the engine until 10,000 feet. Not for me next time!

So, you can't be on these forums if you are over 30-something?

Contrary to poular belief, but known to a few chosen ones, I am not dead.
I've put on a few pounds, yes, and I'm a little thin on top, but the ladies in South America still love the King.
Just can't get enough.
Thank you...thank you very much.

WE fly Burbank all the time to visit our inlaws in Sherman Oaks. Yes, it's a tight landing, and you need to be able to walk down the old fashioned landing stairs, but it gets you to LA in unbelievable time. Great for the Valley, Pasadena etc.
