A Guide to Pickups & Dropoffs at Pomona, California Airports

When you are traveling in and out of the Pomona Valley, the last thing you want to worry about is how you are going to get to the airport. Whether you are flying into Ontario International for a trade show at the Pomona Fairplex, or you are rallying for a large family reunion to fly out of LAX for an international adventure, ground transportation is the linchpin of a successful trip. At Charter Bus Pomona, we specialize in streamlining the connection between the sky and the street. We provide private, reliable, and comfortable charter bus rentals for airport transfers throughout Southern California.

Pomona is uniquely situated at the crossroads of the Inland Empire and Los Angeles County, giving travelers access to five major airports within a reasonable driving distance. However, navigating the I-10, SR-57, and SR-71 freeways with a convoy of rental cars or relying on unpredictable rideshare surge pricing can turn a travel day into a logistical nightmare. With a private airport shuttle from Charter Bus Pomona, your group travels together, your luggage stays secure, and a driver handles the California traffic.

From the tarmac to your final destination in Downtown Pomona, Phillips Ranch, or Ganesha Park, we are here to ensure your arrival or departure is seamless. Call us today at 951-618-7440 to discuss your flight itinerary and receive a free, personalized quote.

Reliable Airport Shuttles to Ontario International (ONT)

For residents and visitors of Pomona, Ontario International Airport (ONT) is often the airport of choice. Located just a short 15-minute drive east on I-10, it offers a convenient alternative to the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles traffic. However, even with its proximity, coordinating pickups for a large corporate group attending an expo at the Fairplex or a wedding party staying at the Sheraton Fairplex Hotel requires precision. Charter Bus Pomona provides efficient shuttle services directly to Terminals 2 and 4 at ONT (2500 E Airport Dr, Ontario, CA 91761).

When you book a private shuttle to ONT, you bypass the need for long-term parking fees and the struggle of hauling luggage from remote lots. Your driver will drop your group off curbside at the departure level, allowing for a stress-free check-in process. For arrivals, we track your flight status to ensure your driver is ready when you land. Once you’ve collected your bags, your group can step straight onto a climate-controlled bus. Whether you need a sprinter van for a small executive team or a full-size charter bus for a university group from Cal Poly Pomona, we make the short hop from ONT to Pomona smooth and efficient.

Effortless Group Travel to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the primary gateway for international travel and major domestic routes, located about 45 to 60 miles from Pomona depending on the route. Anyone who lives in the Pomona Valley knows that the drive to LAX (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) involves navigating some of the most congested freeways in the country. Between the I-10, the 60, and the 405, timing is everything. Charter Bus Pomona takes the stress out of this journey. Instead of white-knuckling the steering wheel in stop-and-go traffic, your group can relax in reclining seats, charge their devices, and utilize onboard WiFi to stay connected.

LAX can be overwhelming due to its sheer size and the famous "horseshoe" loop of terminals. Navigating this with multiple rental cars is a recipe for separation and delay. The drivers are intimately familiar with LAX ground transportation regulations. We will coordinate the exact pickup zone for your specific terminal—whether it's the Tom Bradley International Terminal or Terminal 7. We ensure your group has ample space for heavy luggage in the undercarriage bays of a full-size motorcoach, leaving the cabin clutter-free for a comfortable ride back to Pomona.

Connecting Pomona to John Wayne Airport (SNA) & Orange County

Located approximately 35 miles south via the SR-57 Orange Freeway, John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana is a popular option for groups heading to or from Orange County destinations like Disneyland or the Anaheim Convention Center, while still basing their operations in Pomona. Whether you are a sports team competing in Irvine but staying in Pomona, or a corporate group arriving for meetings in the OC, Charter Bus Pomona provides seamless transfers to SNA (18601 Airport Way, Santa Ana, CA 92707).

John Wayne Airport is known for its convenience, but coordinating group transport during rush hour on the 57 can still be challenging. By renting a charter bus, you ensure that your entire party arrives simultaneously. We can arrange for a 56-passenger coach to transport a student group from the Claremont Colleges or Cal Poly Pomona directly to SNA for study abroad trips or academic conferences. With amenities like power outlets and comfortable seating, passengers can catch up on work or rest before their flight.

Private Transfers to Hollywood Burbank (BUR) & Long Beach (LGB)

Sometimes the best flight deals or most convenient routes come through the region's smaller, more user-friendly airports: Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) and Long Beach Airport (LGB). Both are situated roughly 40 to 50 miles from Pomona, making them viable options for groups who want to avoid the chaos of LAX.

For groups flying into Hollywood Burbank (2627 N Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 91505), often preferred by media groups and business travelers, Charter Bus Pomona offers executive shuttle services. We can whisk your team from the tarmac to the Pomona Arts Colony or downtown business meetings without missing a beat. Similarly, for those utilizing the open-air concourses of Long Beach Airport (4100 Donald Douglas Dr, Long Beach, CA 90808), our charter buses provide a direct link back to the Inland Empire. Forget about navigating the 710 or the 605 freeways on your own; let the drivers handle the logistics while you enjoy the ride.

Why Choose a Charter Bus for Airport Transfers?

While rideshare apps and public transit exist, they simply cannot match the efficiency and comfort of a private charter bus for groups of 10 or more. Public transportation from Pomona to LAX or SNA often involves multiple transfers, utilizing the Metrolink or Silver Streak, and hauling luggage through train stations—a logistical headache that can add hours to your travel time. Rideshares separate your group into multiple vehicles, leading to staggered arrival times and inconsistent costs due to surge pricing.

When you book with Charter Bus Pomona, you get a dedicated vehicle that runs on your schedule. We offer ample luggage storage, ensuring suitcases, equipment bags, and presentation materials are stowed safely beneath the bus. Inside, passengers enjoy a climate-controlled environment, high-backed seating, and the ability to socialize or brief the team before arriving. From 18-passenger minibuses for wedding parties to full-sized motorcoaches for marching bands, we tailor the vehicle to your headcount and luggage needs.

Corporate & Business Travel Airport Logistics

Pomona is a hub for commerce and education, home to the sprawling Fairplex (1101 W McKinley Ave, Pomona, CA 91768) which hosts massive trade shows, conventions, and the LA County Fair. If you are an event organizer or a company bringing in a team for a conference, managing airport arrivals is a critical part of the experience. Charter Bus Pomona acts as your logistics partner.

We can establish a shuttle circuit that runs between ONT or LAX and the major hotels in Pomona, such as the DoubleTree by Hilton on W Temple Ave. We ensure your executives, speakers, and attendees are greeted professionally and transported comfortably. Our buses can be equipped with WiFi and power outlets, allowing your team to send last-minute emails or review presentation decks while in transit. Impress your clients and streamline your operations with a corporate airport shuttle that reflects the professionalism of your organization.

Custom Itineraries for Multi-Flight Arrivals

Large groups rarely arrive on a single flight. Whether you are organizing a destination wedding in Pomona, a family reunion, or a multi-branch corporate retreat, managing a manifest of different arrival times at LAX or ONT can be daunting. Charter Bus Pomona simplifies this with flexible shuttle services.

Instead of forcing early arrivals to wait for hours or booking dozens of individual cars, we can arrange a shuttle service that loops between the airport terminals and your Pomona destination at set intervals. We track flights to account for delays, ensuring no one is left stranded at the curb. Your reservation specialist will work with you to analyze your group's flight data and recommend the most cost-effective bus size and schedule to keep your guests moving efficiently. From the moment they land until they reach their hotel, we handle the details.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pomona Airport Transportation

We recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as your flight details are confirmed. For standard travel dates, 1 to 3 months in advance is usually sufficient. However, if you are traveling during peak seasons (holidays, summer, or during major events at the Fairplex), we suggest booking 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best rates.

We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book your airport transfer, we ask for your flight numbers so our dispatch team can monitor your arrival status. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust the driver's schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you land. We include a standard wait time in our airport pickups to accommodate minor delays in baggage claim as well.

Yes, but the type of bus matters! Full-size charter buses (56-passenger) have spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can typically hold one standard suitcase and one carry-on per passenger. Minibuses (18-25 passengers) have limited storage space, often just a rear compartment or overhead racks. If you have a group of heavy packers, skiers with equipment, or a band with instruments, please let your reservation specialist know so we can recommend the correct vehicle size to fit both your passengers and your gear comfortably.

Absolutely. In addition to the major commercial airports like LAX and ONT, Charter Bus Pomona services private FBOs (Fixed Base Operators) throughout the region, including Brackett Field Airport (POC) right here in La Verne/Pomona. Whether you are arriving via private jet or chartering a flight for a sports team, we can arrange for tarmac-side pickup (where security permits) or meet you at the private terminal entrance for a discreet and swift transfer.

The cost of your rental depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of the trip, the distance to the airport, and the time of year. Airport transfers are often billed at a flat rate or an hourly minimum. Because every trip is unique, we provide personalized quotes to ensure accuracy.
