Traveling by air:
Several airports serve the Palm Springs Area.
Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is served by many airlines and brings you right into town. Almost everything you need is within walking distance so renting a car is not needed.
*WestJet offers direct flights to and from Toronto (YYZ) and Palm Springs (PSP) on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is about an hour to ninety minutes away depending on traffic. On Friday afternoons traffic from Ontario through Riverside can be congested at rush hour. Renting a car is necessary.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is between a 2 to 4 hour drive depending on the time of day and traffic. On Friday afternoons plan on the drive taking up to 4 hours as the LA traffic is terrible and lots of drivers head to Palm Springs for the weekend.
