Four questions that decide it
What do the flights cost?
Compare fares and schedules for all three airports first. A much cheaper ticket into LAX can beat a closer airport once you add the ride.
How long can the kids ride?
After a long flight, a 20 minute drive feels very different from a 70 minute one, especially with young children.
When do you land?
Late-night and early-morning landings miss rush hour, which narrows the drive-time gap between airports.
How many are traveling?
Fares add a set amount for each extra passenger, $14 at John Wayne, $15 at Long Beach and $20 at LAX, so the gap between airports grows with your group. Price your whole party before you decide.
A simple way to decide
If flights cost about the same, John Wayne is the simplest choice for Disneyland. If Long Beach has a better schedule, it is a close second. Fly into LAX when it has the best fare or connection, or when you are arriving from overseas.
