Flight help to disneyland please

[IndyRnRfan]

I'm trying to help a friend get to Disneyland and we've never been so I need some help. He wants to fly out of Indy but fly into Orange County airport instead of LAX. Can anyone recommend an airline they've flown to get to Orange County? I'm guessing Orange County is like Sanford is to Orlando.

Thanks a bunch.

I've flow using United into Orange County Airport (SNA, John Wayne Airport) and it was fine. Yes, SNA is a smaller airport and, in truth, much easier to deal with than LAX. Assuming no traffic, it's about 30 minutes from SNA to Disneyland (it's about 45 minutes without traffic from LAX to Disneyland).

We always fly Southwest. Check them out. The couple times we have actually flown to Disneyland we have chosen to fly into SNA. So easy.

SNA is closer and easier. United, Southwest, American for SNA. Long Beach is also a good option instead of LAX (Jet Blue).

Another vote for Southwest. We've had great experiences with the counter staff and flight crew.

Also look at Jetblue flights into Long Beach. Long Beach is a very nice small airport, only a few minutes farther away than Orange County. JetBlue into Long Beach is always our first choice, and Alaskan (or Southwest) into Orange County is our 2nd choice. But we are flying from Seattle.

SNA is an awesome airport to fly in and out of compared to LAX.

We flew Alaska

Southwest here too. We took SW in and out of SNA once and had a great experience. We take SW everywhere we can. I love the laid back approach and humor in the flight crews.

We have flown via SNA every time, 7 on Alaska and 1 Southwest. We would not fly into any other airport.

Another vote for Southwest from me! We always use them and fly into John Wayne Airport.

SNA is a super easy airport to navigate. Much, much less stressful than LAX. We've flown Alaska and Southwest to SNA. Both have been good.

 

[nikkislaght]

we fly into both Long Beach and SNA via Alaska . Jetblue and Delta,, Alaska and Jetblue are the better ones.. for us.

Long Beach is a few minutes farther, but worth it to us if we find a decent price (plus our DD lives 10 minutes from the airport). Jet Blue seems to have more room and better on board entertainment than Southwest. Southwest and SNA are fine too, way better than LAX in our opinion.

We always fly Southwest and love it ! We usually fly into LAX but that's only because from our airport that's closer the SNA flights tend to be more on average.
However we are flying into SNA the first time next month and I'm stoked to not be flying into LAX. It's not horrible especially if you travel often but it can be intimidating.

From what I know I would choose SNA , it's much closer too.

I would definitely choose SNA or Long Beach over LAX! SNA was so super easy. We flew Southwest. Definitely compare prices at all those airports though. There can be big differences.
