What to do for 6 hours in ONT?
I will be in ONT for 6 hours and prefer not to leave the airport. Is there anything to do there? Are there any lounges?

This doesn't really belong in the CO forum.

No lounges that I can remember. I know you don't want to leave the airport, but there is an In-N-Out burger that's about a 15 minute walk from the airport which wasn't too bad.

Other than that though, there was an Applebee's in Terminal 2. That was about it though...

Concurr. Pretty slim pickings. There is a mal (onatriao mills?) about 4 or 5 miles from the terminal that has the usal assortment. Probably could hop a cab over there. Otherwise you can plane spot SW flights....

While ONT is a great airport in terms of getting in/out, there really is nothing much to do: very slim selection of restaurants and no lounges.

I would recommend taking a cab to Ontario Mills Mall - less than 5 minutes away and there are plenty of nice restaurants within walking distance.

The only thing I can think of is Ontario Mills.

You can always get a rental and drive 1 hour south to Pala or Pechanga for some Indian casino action

Thanks for all the advice. Is there any internet (WIFI) access in the airport?

Sorry but I must ask. I see that your silver CO, NW and DL. Why not put your CO/NW miles on just one of them and make it to gold and receive more benefits? Or you can make plat by adding the DL flights?

Ontario Mills is a great place to kill time, go see a movie, eat some food and window shop. The airport terminal is new and quiet so it's not a bad place to spend time as far as airports go.
