Anaheim, our site for the 2006 Worldon, is served by four or five airports. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), by far the largest, and Ontario Airport (ONT) are the farthest away at about 35 miles. Much closer are Long Beach (LGB) and John Wayne/Orange County (SNA) at approximately 18 and 11 miles, respectively. Between these four, you can get here from pretty much anywhere. In addition, Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena (BUR) has the unique distinction of being the only airport in L.A. or Orange County with a train station next to it, whch may be of interest to some members. Here's a list of the carriers that serve each of the airports. And, for close-in John Wayne/Orange County, there's also a list of cities with non-stop service.

General Aviation Note: If you're flying your own plane, Orange County/John Wayne is not only the closest airport, but it's also the preferred airport for a large number of small aircraft pilots.
