# Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport (LBB)
Lubbock, United States · North America
West Texas one-hall field: three live airlines, eight official nonstops, a $7 long-term lot, SSP America instead of a lounge, and a 90-minute official clock.
## Airportist Score

**7.1 / 10**
Weighted sum of the six published categories (no holistic fudge).
- Ease of use (25%): 8.5 — Wayfinding, security wait, and layout.
- Comfort & amenities (20%): 7.4 — Seating, Wi-Fi, cleanliness, and quiet.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 570,308
- Terminals: 1 Main Terminal
- Typical security: 12 min
- On-time: 76%
- Disruption: normal

## Best for

- Texas Tech / South Plains origin-and-destination trips that can live with a $7 long-term lot
- Travelers connecting at DFW, DAL, IAH, HOU, or DEN instead of driving to AMA or MAF
- Anyone who wants a one-checkpoint hall and does not need a lounge

## Watch out for

- Assuming Priority Pass, Escape, or an Admirals Club exists (live PP / Escape have no LBB pin; American.com clubs Not Available)
- Treating leftover Southwest SLC (AJ leftover 9 Nov 2025; last aggregator leftover that day) as a live nonstop — official Arrivals card does not print it
- Treating FlightQ leftover cargo hops (MAF / ABI / SJT) or leftover Hub City Grille branding as passenger products
- Treating AMA, MAF, ABI, SJT, F82, or KLBB as this airport
