| Description: | Ontario, California, March 23, 2023 — Jessica Burchett had no clue that she would be the 30 millionth traveler since the airport’s transfer to local control six years ago when she arrived at Ontario International Airport (ONT) today.
The departing Rancho Cucamonga resident and Southwest Airlines® passenger could hardly control her excitement when it was revealed that she had won two free round-trip tickets during a joyful and unexpected celebration at Gate 404.
“I won! Burchett was summoned up to the podium and exclaimed, “I can’t believe it!,” not knowing that there would be a celebration. She didn’t recognize something was wrong until she arrived at the gate and saw the balloons, signage, and TV cameras. She changed her travel plans the night before and wasn’t even supposed to be on the aircraft leaving for Denver with a connection in Minneapolis.
We were actually scheduled to take a later-night flight, but I changed our ticket because I had to get to Minnesota. And it was a ton of joy, and now here we are. I’m so happy,” she exclaimed.
Burchett claimed that she frequently departs from ONT in order to travel to her kids’ sporting activities.
It’s very practical. A few kilometers separate it from the home. It is simple to enter and exit. I love this airport,” she declared. I travel a lot for my kids’ activities, so the free tickets provided by Southwest® are fantastic and a money saver. |
