I figured I would start a thread for those of us not from CA that fly there for DL to discuss the various airports.
We have now flown into LAX, SNA, ONT, and LGB. I can honestly say that you should choose anything except LAX if you can when going to DL. We frequently have flown in-out of LAX because of the large number of non-stop flights between either Houston airport and LAX. We decided to fly into ONT this trip and out of LGB. We have flown into SNA on past trips. We preferred LGB to ONT. It was a small airport, but it was very easy to get to.
Regarding LAX, it takes well over an hour to get to/from the airport. I mean it took us over an hour to get to the rental car from the terminal WITHOUT any checked bags. That airport is too big and too busy. It’s not for us. Feel free to chime in if anyone else has any opinions. My ranking from best to worst would be the following:
1) LGB
2) SNA
3) ONT
4) LAX
