Palm Springs International Airport

Major airports seldom feel like a breath of fresh air, but this one does with its indoor-outdoor flow and modern architecture, designed in the 1960s by Donald Wexler. Twelve airlines serve PSP with nonstop flights to and from more than 30 North American cities and connecting flights to and from 500-plus destinations worldwide. It’s a walkable 2 miles to downtown Palm Springs and a short drive to other valley cities. flypsp.com
