A dazzling new look and expanded service welcome visitors to the most civilized airport in the world. But Palm Springs International Airport is still unmistakably Palm Springs — upscale, friendly and fun. Where else could you leave your rental car just a few feet from the terminal and then wait for your flight either stretched out on a lounge chair in the fresh air, practicing your short game on the manicured putting green, or relaxing in the cool comfort of the opulent new terminal?
That new terminal, incidentally, looks and feels like a destination resort itself. The octagonal, 35,000-square-foot facility is made up of eight additional jetway-accessed gates serving three major carriers. It’s also the valley’s newest artwork as 6,000 square feet of canvas swoop down from 45-foot-high towers above the expansive and air-cooled patio areas. Each gate is surrounded by massive picture windows to make sure your unique desert experience begins the moment you step off the plane. The air-conditioned passenger areas face the art and fountain-filled patios where massive glass pocket doors can be opened to experience the perfect Palm Springs weather..
