Travel Note
Driving to Claremont
Driving: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CHECK TRAFFIC. The traffic in California is no joke; it can either take 30 minutes to drive to Claremont from Orange County or 2 hours. On a Friday afternoon, the traffic will be VERY HEAVY, so if you are driving to Padua Hills Theater on the day of the wedding, please allot yourself an appropriate amount of time. The traffic will start to build up around 2 or 3 pm.
Flight
Ontario Airport (ONT)
Ontario Airport (ONT) is the closest airport to Padua (12 miles!). We have never flown out of there, but there may be cheaper flights and better deals.
Flight
Los Angeles International (LAX)
LAX is the biggest airport in the area and should have the most options for flights. This will be a great airport to choose if you are looking to explore Los Angeles (Santa Monica, Griffith Park, Warner Brothers Studio Tour, etc.). LAX can be a cheaper option than John Wayne (SNA), but please double check as rates change. Be warned, LAX is notorious for awful traffic and huge crowds. In recent experience, LAX has gotten a lot better and we have never experienced much struggle with security. The traffic though has not changed and you can count on heavy traffic. This may be a cheaper airport than SNA, but please don't take our word for it and double check both rates. Distance to Padua Hills Theater: 54.7 miles
Flight
John Wayne Airport (SNA)
SNA is a great, small airport that is right in the middle of Orange County. This is a great option if you are looking to explore Orange County spots (Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Disneyland, etc.). It can be at times the more expensive option, but that is not always the case, so please make sure to check the rates. We have had experiences in the past that SNA was actually the cheaper option. The security and lines are typically quick and the gates are easy to get to throughout the airport. Approximately 45.1 miles from Padua Hills Theater.
