Ontario International Airport by Steven Koenig

I have only arrived and departed on domestic flights. Lines have
generally been short. Overall, airport seems efficient and clean. Only
complaints: lack of food services outside of the security gates (if you
are waiting for someone to arrive), and distance from the terminals to
the consolidated rental car building (on the other hand, the fact that
all rental car companies are together makes it easier to shop for
prices, though you can often get better prices at nearby off-airport
offices of the same companies).

I've flown many times through Ontario and found it a great alternative
to LAX or Orange County Airport when flying into Los Angeles/Southern
California. The airport is relatively new as Terminals 2 and 4 were
opened in the late 1990s. I've yet to use the International Arrivals
Terminal so can't comment on it. The terminal entrances are all on the
first level, with arrivals and departures on the second level where
security is also located. Each terminal has a few restaurants and shops
after clearing security but these generally are timed with the last
departures, so passengers arriving late night or very early morning will
find few options beyond the vending machines. The facilities inside the
terminals are clean and well kept. With the exception of one outbound
flight that was canceled, I've been able to get from the check-in
counter through security and to my gate in under 30 minutes with 15-20
minutes for baggage retrieval. In the near ten years I've traveled
through ONT, the number of passengers/visitors has increased but luckily
that hasn't translated into any delays in or around the airport. In
addition I've found that flying in or out of ONT isn't more expensive
than LAX or some of the other regional airports since ONT is served by
many airlines. Currently international flights are to/from Mexico with
departures out of either Terminal 2 or 4 but any direct flight from
Mexico would arrive at the International Arrivals Terminal located just
before Terminal 2. I'd recommend ONT to any one looking for an
alternative to LAX.

I have always used Ontario International for the hub of my travels. It is close, convenient and
clean. It is small, without all the rush hassles of a large airport like LAX. The staff are friendly
and always around. The shops are clean and the service is granted with a smile. I highly recommend
this airport.

Disorganization- that is the best word that describes the "Customs" section of the Ontario Airport.
We just returned from Mexico and had to face a woman loudly berating, not once but three times, us
about cell phone usage (it's not posted anywhere). There were over 100 of us, most of us Americans,
waiting for 1 line to get us through (including the flight crew). Many of us got in the visitors
line because we had connecting flights to catch.
Then, after that 30 minute ordeal we had to wait for a shuttle-yes SINGULAR- to take all 100 of us
and our luggage to the main terminal. In the main terminal we had to check in AGAIN, get our
luggage checked AGAIN, go through the ONE security gate that was open and rush to the departing
plane. We had a 2 hour lay-over and got to the plane as they were boarding.
I feel sorry for the people who were entering our fine nation. The experience we had surely made
them wonder about the choice of where they made to visit.
Luckily, I've been through other airports that were organized, didn't YELL at the customers and had
plenty of time to make the connecting flight. I'll avoid this airport on future trips.
