Travel & Accomodations

The Wedding Website of Megan Altschuler and Jay Knudson
Flight information, driving directions, and places to stay. PLEASE NOTE: Carlsbad is a small beach town and July is busy season. Affordable accommodations will be limited the closer to summer we get, so we highly suggest securing hotel/airbnb reservations as quickly as possible, or exploring lodging options in neighboring cities such as Oceanside, Encinitas, and San Diego. Hotel options listed here are some of our recommendations, but there are plenty of others to choose from.

Flight

San Diego International Airport (SAN)

SAN is the closest airport to Carlsbad, approximately 35 miles away. PLEASE NOTE: take care to select 'SAN' as the airport code for San Diego when booking flights, not to be confused with 'SNA', which flies into Orange County.

Flight

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Note: SAN is the closest airport to Carlsbad. LAX is approximately 1.5 hours from Carlsbad, but may provide more affordable airfare options, or be a preferred choice for those wanting to explore more of California during their trip.
