LAX... I'm convinced you are always under construction! Most of your airport is overwhelming and…read moreconfusing! Tips- be prepared to walk... a lot. Also transfer buses. A lot of hallways with nothing on the ceilings and a cold empty feel. Don't waste your money taking a $200-300 dollar uber. Get in a flyaway bus to union station or one of there other locations. It's like $12. Also if you loose something here you are pretty much screwed.. you have to fill out a long thing online and wait! Heads up.. this is one of the busiest airports in the United States and in my utter honest opinion usually a complete mess!

When I landed I discovered that there are shuttles to the ground transportation lot. I missed the…read moresignage showing how to walk there but another traveler advised me to take the shuttle as you have to cross streets walking to the lot. When the shuttle came, it was difficult to place your luggage in the shuttle if you had large luggage or many pieces of luggage. Not very efficient and travelers have to wait until a shuttle came which could fit you and your luggage. An attendant accompanying a traveler in a wheelchair told us to enter by the back door and this switched the line around so that those of us who had been wishing a while entered last. It was terrible. As we were driven to the ground transportation lot, we saw people struggling with their luggage waking to the lot. I decided on a taxi as they were lined up at the stand. A co-worker told me that the taxi he took wanted to be paid in cash and he had to insist to pay by credit card so he could see the miles and charge. So maybe take a ride share for peace of mind. The traffic around this airport is wild. Cars almost at a standstill and large buses cutting you off. We were dropped off for our outbound flights at the appropriate terminals and I went through touchless TSA pre-check. The initial scan was fast and then the bottle neck at the luggage screening machine. The trays to put your carry on luggage and personal items system is terrible if not properly monitored by the TSA agent. My luggage was placed after a traveler who was behind me in line and I had to wait. This happened to other travelers as well. Another traveler told me that the traffic was actually better at the time we were there and that the luggage screening is always terrible. Got through the screening but travelers do not police their trays/bins and this prevents other luggage from coming down the conveyor belt. So frustrating. Myself and another traveler get the bins stacked so we could claim our bags. Walked down to our gates and decide to eat at Rolling Stone restaurant. Terrible food and service. Disappointing. The artwork is very good though. 2D moving art pieces and local exhibits of quilts and a model home. Very cool. The women's restroom by Gate 80 is dated and you have to push the main door open while handling your luggage. The seating at the gate is also limited so we sat at the next gate adjacent to Gate 80. So what's the verdict? I'm going to still avoid flying into LAX. The traffic is crazy and the food isn't that great.

I love this airport!

I remember the days when it used to be super expensive to fly out of ONT in comparison to LAX. Thankful it's no longer as outrageous. First, this airport is 10 minutes from my house. There is NOTHING 10 minutes from LAX but traffic. For an early morning flights, I can leave my house 30 minutes before boarding time and get there and through TSA with time to give. Flying is already one of the worst ways to me to spend a day so being able to fly out of Ontario makes it a little bit more manageable. I usually fly Southwest or United so I only go to those terminals. Every once in a while, I'll fly out American. So far all the terminals that I use are pretty easy to get in and get out. Sometimes, in the evening, if someone is picking you up, it can take a while to get through but again in comparison to LA, it is a breeze. I love LA and I do a lot in LA but I would rather fly out of Ontario.

My preference is to fly out of Ontario versus San Diego whenever it lines up with our travel plans…read more It's a breeze to get in and out, less traffic, less crowds. This small airport is so convenient and low stress. We park in lot 5 and take the shuttle that drops off right in front of our terminal. Easy peasy! Terminal 4 is clean and maintained nicely. Because it's a small airport there are less dining options. Sitting here waiting to board our flight, I see a brewery, Subway, Dunkin' Donuts, and I know further down is more fast food options. I really don't care for airport dining anyway, which is so pricey and usually not that great. Thumbs up for Ontario airport!

There are plenty of great food and drink options, from quick grab-and-go spots to more upscale sit down restaurants. Lots of new restaurants coming soon as well. One of my favorite touches is the live music. There's usually a guitarist/singer performing in a designated area, which adds to the laid-back atmosphere. It's not random, it feels intentional and professional. The bathrooms are also super clean and thoughtfully designed, with red/green lights above each stall so you can easily see what's available without checking doors. They even have a public piano, and I've heard some incredibly talented travelers play while waiting for their flights.

Since we'd be there for only a few days we flew Southwest Airlines instead. Daughter #1 lives in the Valley. I live in OC so we both decided to take Amtrak and meet at Hollywood Burbank Airport. I usually fly out of Long Beach LBX or John Wayne Airport SNA in Irvine. Hollywood Burbank Airport was like a step back in time. The one story sprawling terminal reminded me of a California mission. The interior appeared to be original circa 1950s. No long walk to check-in or to TSA check point. Shorter walk to the gate. What a throwback. What convenience. Upon our return, baggage claim boasts 2 turnstiles. And yet the airport, on a Tuesday and again on Thursday, was a buzz with foot traffic. Masses of travelers coming and going. We enjoyed the intimacy of the airport. And have definitely added it to our preferred list of airports for local travel.

For some reason I always think this airport will be easier than LAX, but I am not sure I still…read morebelieve that. Upon landing, half the plane had to get off on a really steep staircase. Then we went to baggage claim, which is a tiny room where everyone stands 6 inches from the baggage belt, so it is nearly impossible to see your bag coming or even get to it. Perhaps the worst system I have seen in my life. Going through security on the way back was fine. The precheck line is longer than the regular line, so I hope they staff lines accordingly in the future. There really are no amenities here. No restaurants, nowhere to plug your phone in, nothing. I went to buy a water and it was $9. I would hate to have a delayed flight here, it's kind of a nightmare. Next time I will save myself the trouble and just go to LAX.

Always knew they had this but never been, so happy we went today. They have planes, helicopters, police cars and trucks, so many cool planes to check out. You can take photos in some of them which is really cool. It was sort of busy and hot so we didn't wait in the lines to do that but. They also have vendors giving out free things, they have an area in the back with the older planes they sell toys and things they also have a food truck. Baby girl got a free Outter pop so nice of them thank you so much, everyone was so friendly and had smiles even though it was hot. Great place to go for a bit bring kids your family and friends. Loved it would def go again, thank you so much for the wonderful experience and seeing all the beautiful planes and aircrafts. Loved it we had a great time. They also have a cafe inside which I still need to try one of these days :) I would recommend checking this place out if you haven't already it's fun for everyone and perfect place to take pictures.

It's been a source of controversy for decades! Capping decades of legal battles & protests! One of the oldest in USA! Airport land converts into Park! Meanwhile they shortened the runway to limit jet flights! By the way, this is where Harrison Ford crash landed onto Golf Course instead of a runway! This general aviation airport, naturally long favorite of celebrities & biz heads, had its share of public scrutiny just like many other non commercial airports in California. Like my San Carlos Airport SQL or Palo Alto Airport PAO. Historic significance lays in the fact that famous DC-3 & military aircraft was produced by Douglas Aircraft Co in Santa Monica at the airport before it had moved to Long Beach. Famous tenants like Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise & Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with others, average daily 250 takeoffs & landings, that's a lot of noise! Neighbors in Santa Monica didn't want harmful exhaust, emissions, fueling, lead & carbon, pollution, and noise! At the same time, its use during WWII for military purposes had federal agreements for FAA to allow operations. So various aviation interests contended with the City of Santa Monica over its ownership. They reached the agreement after endless litigation to return the control of the airport land to the city. And at the end of 2028 the city is free to do what they want with 227 acres of airport land! *The one who should care Does she or doesn't So let the beat roll on I'm 'bout to get in the zone I been locked up all by myself But I'm known to grow my own I burn it till it's gone Like there ain't nothing wrong I'm just out in the shade Watching the world go up in flames [ Review #828 w 3 pic Feb 15, 2025 ] Here, can't complain! @Santa Monica Airport CA Thur 2/6/25 Going home tonight!
