Americans Can Now Fly Nonstop To Cabo For The First Time Ever From This California City

We at The Cabo Sun are thrilled to see Los Cabos becoming more connected than ever.

On July 4, 2025, Volaris launched the very first nonstop service from Ontario International Airport (ONT) to Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), giving you five direct flights each week into Baja Sur’s sun-soaked shores.

And that’s not all—coming this December, Copa Airlines will inaugurate a three-times-weekly Panama City–Cabo link, marking the destination’s first-ever direct connection to Central America via this new route to Panama.

New Nonstop Route Takes Off

Volaris’ ONT–SJD service operates Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, shaving off travel time and airport stress for Inland Empire and East LA travelers.

In roughly 2 hours and 25 minutes, you’ll swap California’s bustle for Cabo’s warm breezes and swaying palms.

Best of all, Ontario’s manageable security lines mean more beach time—and fewer pre-flight headaches.

Cabo’s Growing Global Network

Los Cabos isn’t just adding one more pin on the map—it’s weaving into an ever-expanding web of international gateways. With Volaris’ new California link, the destination now boasts 32 nonstop routes to the U.S., underscoring its allure for American sun-seekers.

Soon, Copa’s December launch will shatter another barrier, forging Cabo’s first direct tie to Central America.

From Panama City’s Tocumen hub, you’ll board three-weekly flights that whisk you straight into Cabo’s heart, vitalizing business ties and leisure itineraries alike.

Why Ontario Travelers Will Love It

• Skip the L.A. crawl: No more 2-hour drives across freeways or frantic connections at LAX.
• Breeze through ONT: Short security lines and easy parking make mornings a cinch.
• Flexible scheduling: Arrive by mid-afternoon and catch Cabo’s legendary sunset from the moment you land.
• A la carte fares: Volaris’ low-cost model means you only pay for what you use—choose baggage, seat assignment, and snacks as you go.

Planning Your Cabo Escape

You’ve snagged your ticket—here’s how to pack for maximum fun and minimum fuss:

• Essentials only: Reef-safe sunscreen, a broad-brimmed hat, your favorite swimwear and a water-resistant tote.
• Sun strategy: Cabo’s UV index peaks midday; slip into a cover-up or seek shade between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
• Stay refreshed: Bring a refillable bottle—filtered tap water is safe, and resorts offer convenient hydration stations.

Exploring Los Cabos Beyond the Beach

Once you’ve conquered the sand, adventure calls:

• Marina vibes: Cabo San Lucas’ waterfront hums with live music, seafood shacks and luxury yachts. Plus, officials have recently cleared out illegal vendors, making the area more peaceful than ever!
• Golf with a view: The Tourist Corridor’s championship courses cradle fairways against turquoise coves. Want to save some cash and skip the hot sun? Try out these courses after 3PM.
• Whale-watching wonder: December through September, humpback breachers light up Baja’s winter seas—book dawn tours for the best sightings. Check out our top 5 things to know for whale watching this year.
