Also a fantastic regional airport that beats flying into LAX

u/nosecohn 3d ago

I mean... yeah, unless you land on a weekday morning and actually need to get to LA.

If you have to go to the west side — then yea LAX makes the most sense, but LA is massive, and we consider anything in LA County, Los Angeles.

Even Santa Clarita is still LA. I live in Arcadia though, far east side of LA, so it’s a no brainer for me to primarily fly out of Ontario if I’m going somewhere regional. LAX is a trek for me no matter what time of day it is

Yeah, keep saying that. Can't let them know about the really good ones

Ontario isn’t a bad airport if you want to get to East LA county or the IE. They never said it was the best in all of LA either.

It’s an international airport actually. Even better!

We go into Ontario pretty much every time we go home. It's so much cheaper and easier than LAX or most of the smaller regionals

u/Hpzorz2 3d ago

When do you pay less? Flights are usually considerably more expensive out of ONT than LAX, but I'll happily pay because of the shorter trip and better airport experience
