Planning an airport ride from Wasco
An airport ride from a small valley city has few moving parts, but each one matters. These are the points we go over with Wasco riders.
Meadows Field, BFL
Meadows Field is the Bakersfield airport, and it is the one most Wasco travelers choose for a domestic flight. The road distance is about 23 miles. Tell us which airline you fly and we set the drop-off at the right terminal door.
Flying out of Los Angeles
Some trips start at LAX, Burbank or Ontario because of a fare, a nonstop route or a connection. These rides run for several hours, so we plan a generous margin before check-in. Send the flight number with your request.
Hotel pickups on Highway 46
Visitors who stay at the Best Western Plus Wasco Inn & Suites, 1704 Highway 46, can be collected at the hotel entrance. Give us the guest name on the booking and the time you want to leave.
Family trips and luggage
A family of five with two checked bags and a stroller fits in one SUV. A couple with carry-ons fits in the sedan. Count the bags before you reserve and we recommend the right vehicle, so nothing is left at the curb or squeezed in at the last minute.
Choosing the departure time
We work backward from the flight. The drive to Bakersfield is short compared with the drive to Los Angeles, so a Meadows Field departure can leave later than a LAX one. We settle the exact hour with you when you reserve, and you see it in writing before the day.
Meeting points
Most Wasco pickups happen at a front door, but not all. A farm gate, a hotel lobby, a church lot and a workplace entrance each need a clear description. Send a street address or a map pin, plus the name of the person to ask for, and the chauffeur goes straight there.
Group departures
Two families flying together can book two vehicles with matching pickup times, or one SUV if the group is six or fewer including luggage. Tell us how many people and how many bags, and we recommend the split.
Arrivals into Wasco
For a landing at Meadows Field, send the flight details and the street address of the stop in Wasco. We arrange the chauffeur for your arrival and the ride home.
Light aircraft at Wasco Airport
The airport inside the city handles general aviation only. A pilot or a guest flying in can book a car for the first leg out of the airport.
