Getting There

For those flying to California, there are several different airports to choose from.

PALM SPRINGS

First choice would definitely be Palm Springs. Takes the rental car totally out of the equation and you will completely avoid all traffic coming from LA, Orange County, and San Diego. The downside is it's a small regional airport with a more limited flight schedule. There are also a number of flights that fly to LAX first and then out to Palm Springs.

LOS ANGELES (LAX OR BURBANK) 

Flying into one of the LA airports and renting a car to drive to Palm Springs is another option. Car rentals tend to be cheap in CA. The drive to Palm Springs (without traffic) usually takes about an hour and a half. Traffic is terrible in LA, however, so be prepared to spend an extra hour or two depending on the time of day that you are traveling.

ONTARIO

Flying in to Ontario means you land 60 miles east of LA and you skip most of the traffic you'll encounter getting through downtown and the east LA communities. It's still another 70 miles to Palm springs from Ontario, but most of these will be traffic-free. Unless you land in the late afternoon on Friday.

See you in Palm Springs!
