Airports

LAX: The main international airport in the LA area is LAX (Los Angeles International Airport). This is likely to be the best option for most international travelers, and may be preferable for domestic travelers as well because it offers the widest range of flights.

ONT: Ontario International Airport located between Riverside and San Bernardino is the closest airport to Lake Arrowhead. If you are flying domestically this may be a good option.

BUR: Hollywood Burbank Airport located in Burbank, just north of LA, is a great option for those flying on Alaskan or Southwest Airlines. It is slightly closer than LAX and sometimes is more economical than flying into LAX.


Other local airports, such as Santa Ana and Long Beach airports are considerably further away, which given the varying traffic conditions can take many hours to get to and from Lake Arrowhead.
