alliecat1970 Posted March 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Flying from DFW I chose John Wayne airport due to it being smaller than lax, Did I make a mistake? I realize its 10 miles more than LAX , I am traveling solo so now doubting myself. The layovers and chang of planes for lgb airport too long, Has anyone ever flown in or out of John Wayne? Please tell me your experience. Thank You Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2022 10 miles more to where? I have flown in and out of Orange County a few times, but not for cruises. Yes, its smaller, and pretty easy to use. In fact, its small enough that I ran into a friend there one flight ( we are both from northern California)...I had no idea he would be there, and it was not a direct flight routing for either of us. A mistake...not that I can think of. It will cost you more in ground transport cost to whatever port you are going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d9704011 Posted March 17, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I've used SNA a few times and it's very easy to get around in and get out of. Why not phone a shuttle service and see what they can do for you to get you to Long Beach? I'm not making a recommendation on the service but maybe try longbeachshuttle.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the help. Janet You'll have no problem getting an Uber/Lyft from SNA. While it's a longer (and thus more expensive) trip than from LAX, you won't be dealing with, well, LAX. SNA is busy (lots of families flying in for Disneyland vacations) but super easy to navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. You made a great move. SNA is superior to LAX in every category. It has small, easy to navigate terminals, Uber and taxis right there and despite being further from Long Beach, probably faster from touch down to drop off at the ship than LAX would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
