Orange County John Wayne Airport SNA has recently been named a 'Local Historic Civil Engineering Landmark' by the Orange County branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Airport, which is serving California's densly-populated Orange County, added to its name that county's resident and legendary actor John Wayne.

The Airport is located in Santa Ana, 35 miles south of Los Angeles, and between the cities of Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach. It is situated right off the San Diego Freeway / Interstate Hwy. 405 (Exit 8 MacArthur Blvd.) and is accessible via the Costa Mesa Fwy. 55, connecting to the North-east to I-5 / Santa Ana Fwy. and South-west to I-405; or the Corona Del Mar Fwy /San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Toll Road SR-73.

With two runways and approximately 8.7 million passengers a year, John Wayne Airport it is served by major commercial and commuter airlines offering hundreds of daily arrivals and departures with nonstop flights to many U.S. destinations and connections around the world.  WestJet started direct service to both Canada's Vancouver and Calgary airports.
Skiers note that United Airlines offers four flights a week to Mammoth Yosemite Airport between 12/16/11 and 4/15/12.

NOTE:  Use caution when traveling the Airport roadways and plan to arrive 1.5 to 2 hours prior to your scheduled flight departure to find parking, to go through security screening and to get to your gate on time. Reduce your wait time by getting your boarding pass on-line (at your airline site) or by using the airline check-in kiosks. If you are traveling with American Airlines, try the new paperless boarding pass. Also, choose the screening lane that is right for you: the Expert, Casual, or Family/ Medical Liquids Lane.
