Arrive 90 minutes before your flight. The airport is generally less crowded than LAX, but morning and evening commuter flights can be busy.
The airport is fully accessible. Boarding typically involves ramps or stairs (using air stairs) rather than jet bridges for some flights. It has a dedicated train station served by Amtrak and Metrolink.
Dining and shopping options are available but limited compared to larger hubs. Rental car facilities are located in the nearby Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC), connected by a moving walkway.
Boarding is often from the front and rear of the aircraft, so choose your seat accordingly for faster exit. The valet parking is convenient, but the economy lots are a good value with shuttle service.
