About
Arriving at John Wayne Airport
John Wayne Airport is Orange County's primary airport, serving communities from Irvine to Anaheim. The compact Thomas F. Riley Terminal has three small terminals, and passengers typically reach baggage claim quickly from any gate.
The airport sits right off the 405 and 55 freeways in Santa Ana. The arrivals pickup area is notably small and airport police actively keep traffic moving—you can't wait long at the curb. A landing alert is essential here so you pull up at exactly the right moment.
Pickup tip
SNA is centrally located in Orange County off the 405 and 55 freeways. The small terminal makes pickups quick, but the arrivals curb is tiny. A landing text lets you time it perfectly.
