Flight from Ontario to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport

AdrianaFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2026

Check on your flight status often, as things can change and you may not be notified promptly

LoriFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2026

If you have a rollerboard, at least 50% of the time it won't fit in the overhead (regional jet) and have to be gate checked. I travel with a half size bag if i am spending no more than 4 days away and it fits in the overhead. That saves a lot of time when you have a connection and don't have to wait for your bag.

CandiceFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2026

Expect the terminal in Monterey to be slightly cramped because it is a small airport. It is best to check in ahead of time on the airline’s app so that when you arrive, you can go straight to the kiosk and print your luggage tags to avoid waiting in line. They will call your name once your tags have printed. So much easier and convenient!

GeraldFlew with American Airlines-May 2025

SJC is physically a smaller airport. The gates are closer and TSA has shorter lines, They are not subject to weather delays as much as SFO. On the other hand SFO offers more flight options, both in the number of flights each airlines flies and the number of airlines serving the airport.

KateFlew with Frontier-Dec 2024

Pack a snack food and airport is very expensive. Bring an empty water bottle. There are lots of filling stations. Delays seem to happen frequently be flexible and kind. You’ll get to where you’re going.

BrandonFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2025

I didn’t check any bags, but Phoenix is very big so be prepared to walk that airport.

MelissaFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2024

Make sure you have extended time if you are connecting in Phoenix. The terminals are at least a 15/20 minute walk between each other.

LanceFlew with American Airlines-May 2024

Bag check closes early, so if you're checking a bag, arrive early.

MichaelFlew with Southwest-Jan 2024

Lots of construction at Terminal 1 at Lindbergh Field. Give yourself extra time.
