Be careful with gender. If you aren't sure of a word, look it up in a dictionary. "el aeropuerto"
Para ir AL aeropuerto:
1. yes, or instead of "en" you could use "por" = along
*Note: The directions say to use the command form of the verbs. It doesn't say if you should use usted, ustedes or tú, but it is most likely that you will use Ud. (I'm assuming you had no model to follow.)

1. Ve a la derecha en la Avenida Lincoln.

Explanation:
To check the grammatical correctness of your answer, let's review it line by line:
1. The command form "Ve" is correctly used to mean "Go" in the second person singular.
2. The command form "pasa" is correctly used to mean "pass" or "go through" in the second person singular.
3. The command form "gira" is correctly used to mean "turn" in the second person singular.
4. The command form "toma" is correctly used to mean "take" in the second person singular.
5. The sentence "El aeropuerto está en Long Beach" is grammatically correct and means "The airport is in Long Beach."
6. The sentence "Para moverte por Long Beach, utiliza un taxi" is grammatically correct and means "To move around Long Beach, use a taxi." The verb "utiliza" is used in the command form to mean "use" in the second person singular.
7. The sentence "Por un taxi, llega al aeropuerto" is grammatically correct and means "By taxi, arrive at the airport." The verb "llega" is used in the command form to mean "arrive" in the second person singular.
Overall, your answer seems to be grammatically correct. However, please note that "la aeropuerto" should be "al aeropuerto" to indicate "to the airport." Additionally, I have made a slight change for clarity in the directions. Instead of saying "Ir por el tren a Long Beach," I changed it to "Toma el tren a Long Beach" to mean "Take the train to Long Beach."
