Sobre John Wayne Airport

John Wayne Airport (SNA) is the commercial airport for Orange County, California, in the United States. It stands in an unincorporated area next to Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Irvine and Newport Beach, beside the I-405 and SR-55 freeways, and the County of Orange owns and runs it.

Most flights are domestic. Southwest Airlines, American, Delta, United and Alaska Airlines link Orange County with cities across the western United States and hubs such as Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Atlanta and New York, while Allegiant, Breeze and Frontier add leisure routes. Air Canada and WestJet fly to Vancouver and Calgary, and Southwest flies to Puerto Vallarta and San José del Cabo in Mexico. The airport handled about 11.4 million passengers in 2025.

All airlines use the Thomas F. Riley Terminal, one building divided into Terminals A, B and C with 22 gates. Terminal C also holds the customs hall for international arrivals.

From the airport, travelers head to Newport Beach, Irvine and Costa Mesa close by, to Anaheim and the Disneyland Resort to the north, and to the beach towns of Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach along the coast.

Consejos de llegada a John Wayne Airport

Most flights into John Wayne Airport are domestic, so you walk from the gate straight to baggage claim with no passport check. International flights from Mexico arrive at Terminal C, where you clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection before entering the terminal; Global Entry kiosks are available there. Flights from Canada clear U.S. immigration and customs in Canada before departure.

Baggage claim for every terminal is on the Arrival (lower) Level, below the gate you arrived at. Check which terminal your airline uses (A, B or C), since this tells you which carousels and which stretch of curb you come out to.

Outside, taxis and shared shuttle vans leave from the Ground Transportation Center on the lower level between Terminals A and B, and taxis also wait at Terminal C. Uber, Lyft and Wingz pick up on the top level of Parking Structures A2 and B2 and on the upper level of the Terminal C structure, so follow the rideshare signs. The white curb is for loading only, so pre-booked drivers usually meet you inside at baggage claim.

California is on Pacific Time.

Transporte terrestre

A taxi or pre-booked car is the simplest way to reach Orange County's spread-out towns and resorts; public transit is limited.

  • Taxi from John Wayne Airport

    Taxis wait at the Ground Transportation Center on the Arrival (lower) Level between Terminals A and B, and at Terminal C. They go door to door, and fares add up quickly on longer trips such as Anaheim or Laguna Beach.

  • Uber, Lyft and Wingz

    Rideshare pickups are on the top level of Parking Structures A2 and B2 and on the upper level of the Terminal C structure, a short walk from baggage claim with your bags.

  • Shared shuttle vans

    Shared-ride shuttles leave from the Ground Transportation Center and must be reserved 24 hours ahead. They stop for other passengers on the way, so they take longer than a private ride.

  • Rental cars

    On-airport rental companies have their counters at the terminal and their cars in the parking structures, while off-airport companies run shuttles from the Ground Transportation Center. A car suits travelers visiting several parts of Southern California.

  • OCTA bus

    OCTA local buses stop near the airport on the surrounding streets. Service is limited and slow with luggage, so check OCTA's current schedule before relying on it.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked car meets you at baggage claim and drives straight to your hotel, home or vacation rental, useful for families, groups and late arrivals.
