For plane spotting, The SCLA (or in plane speak its simply called Victorville) is one of the more…read moreboth dull and exciting places to visit. The Southern California Logistics Airport is based on the former George Air Force Base which was active from 1941 to 1992. The airport has no commercial passenger service and is designed for business, military, and freight use. International cargo flights can land here as well due to its "foreign trade zone status". It is also home to several aerial firefighting units etc. and runway 17/35 at 15000 feet is the second largest public runway in the US. Following the grounding of 737 MAX's, Southwest elected to park their entire fleet here pending resolution of the software and flight safety issues that resulted in two crashes. What draws plane nuts to Victorville is the boneyard by and large. There is a large variety of mostly large aircraft that are either being stored (the hot dry climate is ideal) or being dismantled. Row after row of once proud airlines are lined up awaiting their fate's. Depending on how hard core you are you can make out the livery of current and often defunct airlines that have moved on. There are a few mysteries like the near new 787 parked and stored for more than a year. I could not get the tail numbers, but it may be an early production model that is too heavy for commercial use. Beyond the allure of seeing the planes there is not much else to do here. That being said, the city of Victorville has plenty of options for gas and eating, but unless there is a specific aviation event or your waiting for a particular plane to arrive, there is not much else going on at SCLA.

Unexpected stop due to wx late at night the day before Thanksgiving. Ramp crew and front desk…read morepersonnel were incredibly helpful. Special thank you to Irene and James. Got a crew car and allowed to bring back 2 days layer with no fees at all after topping off the tanks (14 gallons). Overall, would have gladly paid fees considering the priority of making it home for Thanksgiving but very grateful for the sense priority the personnel placed in simply ensuring they could all help get my father and I home. Upon my return on Friday, the next crew was just as incredibly helpful. Kudos to management for setting up the right culture as the crew certainly emphasized the trickled down mindset of providing the best customer service. Without a doubt will recommend Million Air to friends and colleagues. Lastly, tower was extremely helpful while in the soup in moderate/severe turbulence. The last minute diversion couldn't of gone better after totally knowing tower shifted their entire focus to providing the upmost assistance possible. Thank you all! -Serg

San Bernardino International Airport is one of the easiest airport experiences I have ever had, and…read moreI honestly wish there were more flights out of here. From parking just steps from the terminal to cruising through TSA, everything was fast and stress free. I went from putting my car in park to sitting at the gate in under five minutes, which felt almost suspiciously efficient. The waiting area is spacious with plenty of seating, so even hanging out before boarding was comfortable. Right now the limited flight options are the only downside, but if more routes are added someday, this airport would be hard to beat for convenience.

Small town feel…read more It's no podunct station, its a bright, clean, modern, and efficient airport just outside of LA and home 47 miles to the south. Every time I use this airport I'm reminded of San Jose airport but much more modern. Clean and efficient just as I imagine the home office likes it. Early in the morning the cavernous space is stark, only one employee a service porter stood out his name is james. He was observant and informative.

I flew to Taipei from Ontario back in late August, so not long ago…read more I had chosen Ontario International Airport as an alternative to LAX for the faster security lines, lack of crowds or congestion, and the convenience of the simple layout and less busy environment. It advertises itself SoCal's fastest airport and I honestly believe it. Check-in, security, and finding my gate were honestly effortless. I find that traveling and especially flying are already so stressful especially if it's for business or family emergencies so having a more relaxed environment at the airport was such a blessing. However, I was quite disappointed in how little amenities were offered. I went to a bar that did not accept cash which would be pretty ridiculous anywhere but especially at an international airport because many countries are more cash-heavy or less card-heavy than the US. My bartender didn't know how to bartend and openly admitted to this. I understand that this is because it is a smaller airport but I just wanted to mention this to make others aware of the downsides. I flew back from Taipei to Ontario and this time around, the experience was not so streamlined or convenient anymore. The airport is so small and undeveloped that there was no tube connecting the plane and airport but you had to walk, which was fine but felt less safe or professional. Staff also scolded passengers to keep going and to stop wandering which felt quite patronizing (I understand that this is for safety and efficiency but maybe that's why having a bus or tube would be better) especially for those of us waiting for family. Each terminal had only one functioning carrousel, the luggage was late, the carrousel took forever to move and I had already wasted half an hour just waiting for luggage.

Has really great food, and I love that part of it is outdoors. Santa Ana has amazing weather, so they definitely capitalize on it. But lets talk about the gates: convenient, near everything, and somehow never crowded. The airport is also very quiet compared to other airports I have been to. It's always a favorite to stop here on my way to my other stops, and with it being clean, less crowded, and easy to get to, truly in my top 10!

PS Airport is where…read moreI would get on the shuttle bus that will take me to Fullerton and connect me on the Amtrak to downtown. Yes you could take public transportation to and from the desert to LA. Didn't even know that was a thing until a couple of months ago. It save your sanity with sitting in traffic not moving. As least this way, you have a reason but to just relax and sit there. It's a good concept and people do utilize it. Also PS airport has a good rental area. They're all pretty much nearby each other so you don't have to drive around trying to find the kiosk. Rental pickup is outside where you find the car yourself but it's pretty simple. Same as returning it. Not only it's an international airport, it's small and easy to maneuver and find your way. Way less stress than the major airport in town and you can get in and out without the crazy traffic. It's a win win. Oh, a lot of the airport is outside and it's beautiful.

The airport serves SE, United, and Alaska. The airport will feature food stands that are local to California plus various of stores. There is one main security check in area that offers pre tsa and general check in. Great to see a new airport as Bob Hope airport was getting tired. There is an airport right across from the airport which is convenient . I look forward to seeing the airport when it's fully open to do a true review.

It's small, straightforward, and you can get from the curb to your gate without feeling like you just completed a cardio workout. After dealing with some of the massive airports around the country, I definitely appreciate that. The baggage claim being outside caught me completely off guard the first time. I walked out and thought, "Wait...we're doing luggage out here?" Apparently that's just part of the old-school Burbank experience. The airport is actually replacing the current terminal soon, and the new facility will move baggage claim indoors. Andddd...OLD SCHOOL is definitely the description for the current facility. It's dated and looks every bit of its age. Nothing about it feels modern or luxurious, but everything functions and I'll take efficient over pretty when I'm trying to catch a flight. Food is where BUR could definitely do better. There are some restaurants and grab and go options in both terminals, but compared with larger airports the selection is pretty limited, especially depending on which terminal you're flying from. But honestly, I understand why people love this airport. It's compact, low stress, and you're not spending 30 minutes just trying to figure out how to get from security to your gate. Dated? Absolutely. Limited food? Yep. But the sheer convenience of BUR makes up for A LOT.
