It’s time to pack your bags and hit the road—getting to Anaheim and getting around has never been easier. With several airports and ground transportation options, business travelers can choose the most convenient solution to suit their needs. While planning an upcoming event in Anaheim, discover four ways to streamline transportation to and around the destination.

North Commuter Terminal at John Wayne Airport

 

Fly into John Wayne Airport in Orange County

Four major airports in the Orange County and Los Angeles area make it convenient to visit Anaheim any time of the year. For a stress-free travel experience, book a flight into John Wayne Airport (SNA), recently named top U.S. airport by Time Money Magazine. This airport is the closest gateway to Anaheim, located just a quick 15-minute drive from the convention center. With three easy-to-navigate connected terminals serviced by most major airlines, John Wayne Airport provides visitors with ample travel options, more than 30 shopping and dining outposts, and perks like charging stations and free Wi-Fi.

Rent a car inside the airport

For visitors looking to hop behind the wheel, John Wayne Airport has on-site rental car counters on the first floor. Head down to baggage claim on the lower level between terminals A and B—across from the statue of John Wayne—to check-in and complete paperwork. Most major companies have representatives at the airport including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, and Hertz. Vehicle pickup is located right across the street.

Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center

 

Use ARTIC as a transportation hub
