It is more expensive for a taxi but that's because it's in a different county, and there are weird rules about that. So it's a consideration if you're taking a taxi, but if you're renting a car I wouldn't hesitate to use LB if the airfare is a lot cheaper especially.
Originally Posted By Ursula Yeah, what he ^ said. Go for the cheaper flight. Another option that a lot of people overlook is that you can fly into Burbank and take the train to Anaheim. Then, a short taxi ride of about $12 will get you to your hotel. It would add an hour-ish to your travel time, but if the fares are WAY cheaper, it might be worth it to you.

Originally Posted By Pixarpixie opps...thats right. I was thinking of LAX not long beach. LAX takes about an hour with traffic. sorry for the confusion.
