The airport is east of Ontario's Business District off of I-10 at the Archibald Ave/Ontario Airport (Exit #55/55A) and the Haven Ave (Exit #56) exits.

There are two terminals for commercial flights, numbered 2 & 4:

• Terminal 1: The is in the (old) Terminal 1 building for military personnel transiting into or out of the area and the is in a separate building for international flights from Mexico and Taiwan. There is a free shuttle bus from the old terminal 1 and international arrivals to Terminal 2 & 4.
• : Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air (Gates 205 & 206), Delta/Delta Connection (Gate 208), Frontier (Gate 210), United/United Express (Gates 201-203), Volaris (Departures); China Airlines (Gate 212)
• : American Airlines (Gates 408 & 410) and Southwest (Gates 401-407)
• ... at 3450 E Airport Dr in the NE Corner of the airport grounds at E Airport Dr & N Haven. From Terminals 2 & 4 there is a frequent and free shuttle bus going over to the consolidated car rental terminal to pick up a rental car. If renting from Fox they will send their shuttle to pick up customers at the consolidated car rental terminal instead of the airline terminals. For a better rate on car rentals it is best to shop around and reserve a car online or over the phone prior to arrival. A private car is a convenient way to get around locally and for going out to remote locales such as Joshua Tree.
