Airports to choose from

You have many airports to choose from when flying into the area:

LAX, or the Los Angeles Airport, is usually the cheapest.
However, it is the largest, the most congested, and the
toughest one to navigate through.
It's about an hour or so, depending largely on traffic, from Laguna.

SNA, or Orange County (John Wayne) Airport, usually costs a bit more.
BUT, It's 20 minutes from Laguna, is small, and soooo easy to
get around in. This is my FIRST choice to fly in and out of.
If you can find a reasonably priced flight into this airport, BOOK IT!!!

You can also fly into:
Long Beach (LGB) - approx. 35 minutes from Laguna Beach
San Diego (SAN) - approx. 1 hour 20 minutes from Laguna Beach
Ontario, CA (ONT) - approx. 1 hour from Laguna Beach

My sister also found a really affordable airline at http://www.skybus.com/

They only fly into Burbank, CA, which is 1.5 to 2 hours away from Laguna Beach, depending on traffic. BUT, because the fair is so cheap, it might be worth a look!
