How delays work at ONT

A ground stop holds flights bound for ONT at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • Pre-book parking to get 10% off, and use promo code DECADE if you park in Lots 3, 5 or 6 before November 1, 2026.
  • Lots 5 and 6 are the best value for long trips, with a shuttle and a short walk to Terminal 4.
  • Book the Aspire Lounge in advance at aspirelounges.com, since walk-up entry costs $48.85 per adult.
  • The Terminal 2 security checkpoint closes at 12:45 a.m., so plan for late departures.
