Hollywood Burbank Airport is a public primary commercial service airport situated three miles northwest of downtown Burbank in Los Angeles County, California. Spanning 555 acres, this medium-hub facility serves Burbank, Hollywood, and the northern Greater Los Angeles region. Conveniently positioned near major regional destinations like Griffith Park and Universal Studios Hollywood, it offers a streamlined alternative to larger regional options for travelers exploring Southern California.
Getting into the city is exceptionally straightforward, as Burbank is the only airport in the area providing a direct rail link to Downtown Los Angeles via two dedicated train stations. Passengers navigate the airfield without jet bridges, utilizing traditional air stairs for boarding aircraft. Ground transport connects through a modern Regional Transportation Center at Hollywood Way and Empire Avenue, which features integrated parking and solar facilities.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at BUR
If your checked bag doesn't turn up on the belt, act before you leave the baggage-claim area — that's where every airline keeps its Baggage Service Office.
- Go to your airline's Baggage Service Office in the baggage-claim hall of your arrival terminal.
- File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and get your file reference (WorldTracer) number. Keep your bag-tag receipt and boarding pass.
- Track it online using that reference on your airline's baggage-tracking page — most bags are located within 24–48 hours.
- Claim your essentials. On delayed bags airlines reimburse reasonable interim purchases (toiletries, clothing) — keep receipts. International trips are covered by the Montreal Convention.
- If it's truly lost (generally after 21 days) or damaged, file the claim at the same office — damage must be reported before you leave the airport.
Left something in the terminal (not a checked bag)? That's handled by the airport Lost & Found. Items left at a TSA security checkpoint are held by the TSA, not the airline.
