Travel & Places To Stay

Flight

John Wayne Airport (SNA)

Located in Costa Mesa, this is the most convenient airport to fly into. Other local airports include Long Beach (LGB) (great if you are flying Jet Blue) and Los Angeles International (LAX) (this airport usually has the best prices, but is the farthest away and the busiest.) From here, you can arrange a Super Shuttle Shuttle, Uber, or Lyft. but your best bet is to rent a car (which we HIGHLY recommend! It's difficult and expensive to get around if you don't have a car... public transport is not the best and everything is more spread out than they make it seem in the movies, haha!)

Flight

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

LAX is the busiest airport in Southern California! So it will be the most crowded and crazy, but it also has the best prices! So if you don't mind a little longer commute to San Juan Capistrano (roughly 60 miles through lovely LA traffic). You can arrange for a Super Shuttle, Uber, or Lyft from the airport. This is the only option if you are flying in from outside of the United States

Flight

Long Beach (LGB)

If you love flying Jet Blue (like us!) this is a GREAT airport to fly into! they have their own terminal (there are only two terminals) and it's a little closer than LAX to San Juan Capistrano (about 40 miles). If you fly into here, I think Uber or Lyft would be your best bet unless you choose to rent a car (which we HIGHLY recommend! It's difficult and expensive to get around if you don't have a car... public transport is not the best and everything is more spread out than they make it seem in the movies, haha!)
