John Wayne Airport

"So for those of you that don't know TSA does not open until 5:00 a.m. so showing up before then is kind of pointless. So the ticket counters for the airlines don't show up until 4:30 a.m. to check bags. Make your own decision on when you want to arrive."

"Expertly run small airport near Anaheim Ca. SNA is not open early and is not open late. TSA is quick and efficient. Parking is close by and easily accessed. Car rental is on the property with easy pick up and drop off. Not a lot of places to eat or shop, but what’s there is better than your average airport. Best alternative to LAX."

"John Wayne airport is a small airport with reasonable number of stores and restaurants but everything closes quite early. So if you're flying a red eye just be aware. Otherwise be convenient to Anaheim without having to worry about how long it might take you to get to LAX from this area especially if you're traveling to and from Disneyland. Very easy to get a rideshare just make sure to follow the signs to the pick up area which is in the parking deck."

"I agree with another person giving a review saying that that gates are fairly close after you get past security. My wife and I travel a lot and it's always a pleasure to fly in and out of the John Wayne Airport. Ample parking, very very clean facilities (including restrooms) and a wide variety of dining options including full meals, coffee shops, health drinks, and alcohol. Keep up the good work to all at the John Wayne Airport."

"Small and quiet airport with helpful staff both indoors and outdoors of the airport, including the Uber/Lyft waiting area. Plenty of restroom areas (cleanliness was hit-or-miss) as well as a nice variety of food and small shops. Security at TSA PreCheck lines as well as gate staff are organized and orderly."
