At the airport
Confirm the current terminal meeting point, baggage-reclaim time and any separate city-station connection before reserving a fixed departure.
Flying into Ontario International Airport for a ski holiday
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is in the Inland Empire east of Los Angeles. ONT is the California airport, not an airport in the Canadian province of Ontario. It offers a shorter inland starting point for many San Bernardino Mountain journeys than LAX, but the final climb still needs planning. Airport transport, a rail or bus station connection and Mountain Transit are separate legs; reserve the last mountain ride if their timetables do not line up. For a ski holiday, compare the whole journey rather than the flight price alone. Collecting oversized ski bags, changing terminals or reaching a city departure point can add time before the mountain leg starts. Give a booked driver the exact resort base and accommodation address, and confirm space for skis and child seats where needed. For an evening arrival, check the last usable onward service and hotel check-in before buying separate tickets. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Ontario International Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Winter travel
