What Ontario's airport should do to challenge LAX

The LA/Ontario International Airport is about 45 miles east of LAX, but it has plans to grow into one of the regions top airports. Maybe even challenging LAX's dominance for passengers.

It's already completed the first step to that goal earlier this week – the airport is now run by local officials in Ontario after breaking away from the LA-based organization that oversees LAX.

But what should be on its checklist to get more flights onto runways?

George Hobica, travel writer and the founder AirfareWatchDog.com, joins Take Two with his recommendations.
