No transfer of luggage from LAX to ONT.
LAX to ONT can be quite the commute.
You may need the 40 hours to be able to get there on time
Seriously, not sure if you are familiar with the area but allow yourself PLENTY of time to get to ONT. Traffic is usually brutal between those two points. Ideally, your overnight is a hotel around ONT?
