Travel tip: flying

The closest airport to UC Irvine is John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana, which is right across the street from the conference hotel. Many major airlines fly into SNA from all over the United States.

Alternative airports are Long Beach Airport (LGB), which is much smaller as well as 25 miles north of UC Irvine, and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which is 45 miles north of UC Irvine. Unless you are renting a car, transportation from either LAX or LGB will be expensive ($75 – $150 for Lyft, Uber, cab) as there is no straightforward public transportation route.
